Is Mayan only used in the adjective form? Did you notice a difference in the article?
continue!
correct!
To English speakers, the form "Mayan" as an adjective sounds right. You wouldn't say "Spain ruins", you'd say "Spanish ruins," you wouldn't say "Mesopotamia civilization," you'd say "Mesopotamian civilization." However, archaeologists, particularly those who study the Maya people, prefer to write of the Maya civilization.
