Belize is a country on the north-eastern coast of Central America. It is bordered by Mexico to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Guatemala to the west and south. It also shares a maritime boundary with Honduras to the southeast.

The Maya civilization spread into the area of Belize between 1500 BC and 300 AD and flourished until about 1200.
