Most Mayan ruins show little or no signs of warfare, so massive deaths by plague is my guess...............

I always wonder how this old cities just depopulate and disappear. Maybe like our own ghost towns I guess.Liberals eventually took over. But that doesn't explain why the infrastructure is still basically intact. Maybe aliens. They're less destructive. Or maybe cyclical weather patterns. Chaco Canyon in New Mexico was a thriving metropolis by long-ago standards. It's been empty for hundreds of years. Assumption is a 100-year drought forced the move.

Well there was a quasi-Zimbabwe “empire” around medieval days, I think. It was a quasi-city but nothing to get frothy over.

—”mayans loved their soccer.”
Until their best players signed with Real Madrid, then most of the fans moved to Norte Americano for the free stuff.

#5 The Mayans would use a human head to kick around in their soccer game.
When they needed a new ‘ball’ they took one of the spectators and made a human sacrifice then continue on with the soccer game.

Yeah that and having a whole bunch of gold hungry, aggressive Spaniards show up didn't help.

”Yeah that and having a whole bunch of gold hungry, aggressive Spaniards show up didn't help.” The Mayan civilization that existed when the Spanish showed up was a pale shadow of what had existed a few hundred years before then, and most of their large cities were already forgotten ruins.
