How did the Mayan civilization disappear?

Reasons for disappearance:

1. Population explosion. The area where the Mayans lived was not large, and the cities they built were even smaller. In such a small area, the population reproduced uncontrollably, reaching millions of people in its peak period. When the affordability collapses, its leaders will inevitably make certain decisions, leading to large-scale, lightning-fast migration. Maya becomes an isolated city almost overnight.

2. Natural disasters. Central America is a place where strong earthquakes have occurred. There have been earthquakes with relatively strong magnitudes in the history of this region. Parts of Central America are severely affected by typhoons and hurricanes. Historically, the areas inhabited by the Maya inevitably suffered from earthquakes and wind disasters. With frequent natural disasters, the Mayans would naturally consider a retreat.

3. Disease spread. According to research, when the Mayans were prosperous, their living areas were relatively civilized and hygienic, and their medical conditions were higher than those of the surrounding humans. However, through the intrusion and exchanges of neighboring humans, various infectious diseases that existed at that time were spread to the Maya residential areas, leading to the prevalence of infectious diseases. In order to avoid the spread of the disease, its leader decided to leave the place where he lived at that time.

4. Extraterrestrial decision-making. The ancestors of the Mayans are likely to be aliens. When the Mayan population increased dramatically, food shortages, natural disasters, etc. caused difficulties and conflicts, they were unable to extricate themselves. , the ancestors of the alien world will make decisions about large-scale relocation and issue orders for relocation.

5. Energy shortage. It is speculated that the Mayans did not have electricity as energy at that time, and it was impossible to use coal or oil as fuel. There is no trace of using wind as energy or power, so they can only rely on the sun. The heat can serve life. With the rapid increase in population, energy shortage is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Its leaders may seek immigration measures because of severe energy shortages.
