Human fecal matter uncovered from a lake in Guatemala reveals the Maya population living in the ancient city of Itzan declined during four different periods over the course of 3,300 years - and climate change was to blame.
A team of scientists led by McGill University found the fecal matter in sediments in Laguna Itzan, which confirmed droughts plagued the area from 90 to 280 AD, 730 to 900 AD and 1350 to 950 BC, all of which saw the Maya population drop.
The team also determined there was a very wet period from 400 to 210 BC, 'something which has received little attention until now,' which also impacted the size of the group.
The 'record implies a human presence on the Itzan escarpment about 650 years before the archaeological record confirms it,' reads the study published in Quaternary Science Reviews.
Researchers determined the Maya continued to occupy the area, although in smaller numbers, after the so-called 'collapse' between 800-1000 AD, when it had previously been believed that drought or warfare caused the entire population to desert the area.

This is easy to explain. They had to many horses. That caused a huge increase in CO2. Resulting in climate change.
Undoubtedly, our Deer Leader Baraq 0bambi has already saved some bronzed samples of his immaculate deposits.
That crazy global warming! Is there anything it can’t do?
Imagine the excitement of finding a 3,000 year old turd at the bottom of a lake..
Well apparently they didn’t have any Liberal/progressives telling them how to live their lives, they must have died happy.
“..., and what, pray tell, is its publication named?”

They’re talking about 💩.

LMAO!

how do you have a drought and floods? Just trying to figure it all out, it ain’t easy.
“Fecal records show Maya population fell due to climate change that caused droughts and flooding,”
And was that climate change man made??
So climate change causes rain and no rain,... got it.
That’s pretty judgmental. Just because she picked weird friends shouldn’t have been that big of a turnoff.
By George, I think you've got it!
Sounds like a really Crappy study!
try just regular old "change" that has happened for millenia.
Like the honey dipper guys
They have a schittload of schitt jokes that keep one entertained
Simple Volcanism, el nino? Solar activity? Cosmological?
I wonder what the accepted hypothetical summary will state. (conjecture).
Note: there are a possible 2154 synonyms for “conjecture” science has standardized the language, I beleive the preferred term and asdociated extensions is “hypothesis” - to be clear scientists such as Neil deGrasse Tyson speakes, writes and uses precise, scientific standards in his terminology.
What does Neil deGrasse Tyson have to do with this thread? Semantics perhaps, nothing else that I’m aware of.
My sister had a very beautiful friend who “worked as a technician at a medical lab doing just this. I never had an amorous thought about her again after I learned that”
One of the funniest things I ever heard was this old underway cook that sat down at the mess table, sighed heavily, sipped his mud and said exasperatingly “everything I do turns to s***”...
Kamala found it at the bottom of the lake.
