Take a Google earth tour across most of eastern Mexico. That jungle could hide a couple of Manhattan islands worth of buildings. Most of earth is like that, unknown. Or, at least unrecognized.
Did some dingbat monk(ish) walk over some weird spot and come back with incredible stories? Sure. But, why believe some guy who WANTS to avoid his neighbors?

While the discovery is certainly a shock to many, as the area was thought to be an “empty zone,” ....

Wow, a totally lost city where they were sure there was nothin. There's so much they still don't know, this discovery should really shake things up! Let's read on...

...researchers do not believe it will change much in the narrative of Mayan life and their wider civilization.

Oh. Well. Sure, that follows. Never mind.

Possible.

Cholera maybe.

Or could be famine.

Second year of crop failure and people leave.

In the case of the Mayan civilization, they think drought played a big part in the abandonment of some of their cities.

Mayan civilization reached a point of “collapse” due to “extreme weather events” beginning approximately five hundred years before the Spanish arrived. How cold that have happened without burning coal and oil or without white supremacy?

How come virtually every race/people in the world developed sophisticated cultures and societies except sub-Saharan Africans?

Mayan civilization was pushed to the point of collapse by extreme weather events. Automobiles and gas stoves have been found in the remains.
