The Mayan civilization was an ancient civilization in Central America that developed advanced agricultural technology, architectural engineering, astronomical knowledge, etc., but suddenly disappeared between the 9th and 10th centuries AD.
For a long time, this mystery has been troubling people.
In 2005, scientists proposed a reasonable theory: the Mayan civilization collapsed due to the ecological disasters it had created.
Scientists believe that the Mayans cut down too many trees, which reduced the land’s ability to absorb solar radiation, making rainfall even rarer and leading to severe drought.
Drought led to shortages of food and water, as well as the spread of viruses and diseases, ultimately causing the Mayans to abandon their land, leading to the demise of this civilization.
