Historians have not yet come to an agreement on why the Mayan civilization collapsed, but there are some very interesting theories. My theory is WARFARE!
At the time that the Mayans lived in city-states located in Mesoamerica. Although they are not considered savage killers, they had the same writing system, They had the same rituals, were ruled under one king, and were all called the Maya, that they would be a peaceful people. . . No! These city-states were all constantly at war with alliances forming and breaking. I believe that this is what caused their civilization to collapse.
