Of course, the article implies it was the Spaniards’ fault, since they are supposed to have ‘cut off’ Mayan trade routes. How that could have affected their nutrition since farming was local, is not explained.
Blame it on Bush!
Don’t forget, there was a nice, wholesome blended-family movie in the mid-1960s, Your Mayans End Hours.
It was, in a way. Europeans brought diseases that were not known in the americas.
Left out, though, is how the same diseases affected the european civilizations when they got introduced there. It was ugly in Europe, too, when that happened.
Doesn't fit the liberal message, though, so it gets ignored.
Face it, life before antibiotics and handwashing pretty much sucked.

Unless farming was the problem.
The bloodthirsty Mayan empire perished miserably four centuries ago, and now we’re supposed to tremble in fear over their stupid stone calendar!!!?
Because this was before NAFTA and the high US tariffs were killing them.
When we visited New Mexico a couple of years ago, we visited the ruins of some old Indian dwellings and missions and were told that for years the death of some of the local tribes was blamed on the Spaniards, but evidence now indicates that it was a terrible drought in that same early period that killed off the tribes. Could the same drought have been the problem in Mexico?
Everyone can find the “End” result of socialism!...
The question is.....
How the Hell did they become that stupid??????
/johnny,
you may want to read some of the eyewitness accounts of what the Spanish found the Mayans doing when they got there.
They were sacrificing their children and drinking their blood.
The Spaniards said enough of this $hit and then wiped out the “management” that ENDED the human sacrifice.
The fact that some of the children were malnourished or got smallpox paled in comparison to the human sacrificing that was going on.
you have fallen for the BS, politically correct, faux history being taught in government schools.
Lurking’
But I have managed to lay my hands on copies of some of the accounts of what the Spaniards say happened.
Fortunately, most of it was written in latin.
Gotta go back to the logistics. What was the population of south america? What was the number of invading Conquistadores?
What does current research say about the bones of native south americans? Disease? or gunshots and sword strikes?
I don't rely on government schools. I go back to original sources, and learn the language so I can read them. I'll draw my own conclusions, based on available evidence.

Television and rap music?
