What is the called the Classical Period of the Mayans ended way before the Spanish came. The Mayans moved to the Central Highlands in Guatemala and those were the Mayans the Spanish encountered.

I don't think the conquistadors can be let of the hook, it was the Aztecs they fetched to ruin.

No, and no one ever said it was. The Mayans left their cities around 600 years before the conquistadors arrived.

The conquistadors allied with their decedents against the Aztec then turned on them killing and enslaved many of them.
