This looks more like human sacrifice to me, and that is a much better fit for what is known of all the city-building cultures of PreColumbian America.

Could be both human sacrifice and climate-related. Snakes in Pre-Columbian America—starting from the Olmecs—are often associated with rivers and fertility rituals designed to secure rainfall, with the rituals involving human sacrifice.

Every now and then you get some scientist who admits, wittingly or not, that the climate changes and has nothing to do with modern technology or any kind of human activity.
