Fecal records show Maya population fell due to climate change that caused droughts and flooding
Daily Mail ^

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.

The Maya kept fecal records? And all this time I thought that thing was a calendar.

I think the fecal records are what explains our current climate crisis, a lot fecal matter.

I was not aware that the Mayas’ drove SUVs, burned coal, and were basically over consumers of natures natural resources.

How else do you explain three recurring cycles of ‘global warming other that lots of fecal matter today.

The “fecal matter” was their sick little joke. It's BS.

The evidence showed their vegan diet (Maize) caused them to fart like cows, the rest is history.

It was all those suv’s they were driving that caused the climate to change.
