The Mayan civilisation.

The ancient Mayas of Central America believed that a giant Ceiba tree, Ya’axche (Maya) stood at the center of the earth, connecting the terrestrial world and the spirit-world with the long thick vines hanging from the canopy, thus providing a connection to heaven for their souls.
