Mayan Civilization & Its Disappearance.

[Absentia]

The Mayan people are still around today . . .

This is also true

Disease, famine, war with neighboring bodies, or a combination of all three.

And that could just be from their area. Not to mention the disease and potential famine explorers brought.

I think the best hypotheses I've heard was tha the big cities weren't sustainable so they all ventured out and became wandering herder/farmer/gatherers again, There was some evidence to support it, mostly in the for of EVE and another scientific theory that is mostly thought of as a way to spread evolution.

Explorers from what we know never made it to their area in that time period. You guys are thinking about the Aztecs and the Incas.

I thought so, but I wasn't sure. I'm not an ancient history buff. We went over a few of the civ's in evolutionary bio, mostly to look at the EVE theory and the like though.

The cause of the downfall of Mayan civilization is not at all unique to their situation. Most failed/vanished civilizations tend to share the same traits and similar root causes.

They played too many ERBs, and the Bass gods smote them.

Except for John Turner. he is the Reincarnation of some Mayan dude with a name I can't pronounce who in 2012 will save us all from He Who Waits Behind the Wall to Sing the Song that End the World. What else could be the explanation for his collection of [del]aircraft carriers[/del] 7-string basses? I mean, aside from him being awesome and stuff.

That, or he plans to use them as landing strips when the Alien Smurfs invade.

I was going to suggest Marty McFly accidentally went too far back in the Delorean introduced them to 80's music....

What would those traits be?

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me ...
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.


Yeah, I'm still here. Your point is invalid

 

[shadowtippy]

They are still around. Check your local grocery store for "Mayanaise." Where do you think it comes from?

 

[Sketchy]

i think the spanish or something like them came and burned everything

The Spanish did the Incan civilisation in, but the Mayan civilisation (and the Toltecs before them) disappeared moderately enigmatically.

Naturally, I have figured the answer out: It was the janitor. Trust me, watch any episode of Scooby Doo. >_>

They're still here,riding hard dying free.
