Nobody is quite sure what exaetly happened to the Mayan eivilization.We
know that in 900 AD their cities were still prosperous, but a hundred years
later they had been abandoned.A number of theories have been put forward
to explain this. One theory is that the Mayan ruling c1ass died out beeause
rulers did not work and sa became unhealthy, and there was nobody to tell the
farmers what to dO.Another idea is that farmers were unable to grow enough
food to support large populations in eities. Other people believe that a natural
disaster, sueh as an earthquake, oceurred, the eities were destroyed, and the
people never moved back. Or perhaps another Mexiean people eonquered the Mayas, and destroyed their cities.
Another theory is that there was a revolution, in whieh the farmers killed their rulers. Some experts believe that
an epidemie of some kind caused the disappearanee of the Mayas. Others think that the Mayan cities suffered
from an environmental disaster, eaused by drought or overproduction. Finally,som e people believe that the
people abandoned their cities because their priests told them to do it.dMake twa comments about each situation, saying what might have happened.
