Maya civilization disappeared?

First, the Mayan civilization did disappear, but it also left some sites for future generations to study.

Second, a brief introduction to Mayan civilization:

Maya civilization is an outstanding representative of Latin American ancient Indian civilization and American ancient Indian civilization, named after Indian Maya. It was formed around 2500 BC and mainly distributed in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Belize, Honduras and western El Salvador. Mayan civilization has made great achievements in material culture, science and art.

Second, the relevant evidence:

1 and 1502, Columbus sailed to America for the last time, just 10 years after he first discovered the "New World". The ship landed in the Gulf of Honduras, and Columbus and his crew set foot on the lush land for a long time. In the local market, a beautifully made pottery basin caught his attention. The seller told him that this exquisite pottery basin came from "Maya". This magical name was first introduced to the ears of Europeans. 15 19, Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes led the Spanish army across Mexico and conquered the Aztec empire, which was in the heyday of civilization. "Eradicating a culture is like a passerby breaking a sunflower by the roadside." At this time, the Mayan civilization is coming to an end, but there are still some small Mayan countries on Yucatan Peninsula. 1526, a Spanish expedition went to Yucatan Peninsula, trying to establish a Spanish colony by violence and enforce Christian belief. The unyielding Maya fought guerrilla warfare for more than 100 years until 1697, when the last Mayan city-state was destroyed by Spanish gunfire.

Two sites were left:

The Tikalmaya site is located in the jungle in the northeast of Peté n province in northern Guatemala, about 35 kilometers northeast of Flores. It was discovered in 1696, excavated in 1848 and opened to the outside world in 1955. One of the largest cities in ancient Maya, built on a hill surrounded by swamps, consists of nine groups of buildings and a big square, connected by bridges and causeways. It covers an area of about 2.6 square kilometers. The city was abandoned between 800 and 900 AD. 1963 started large-scale excavation. Archaeological and tourist attractions. It can be reached by plane, and there is a road leading to Guatemala City.

Four. Necessary supplement:

However, what puzzles people all over the world is that, as the only ancient civilization in the world that was born in a tropical jungle rather than a river basin, Maya civilization, like its miraculous rise and development, is full of mystery. Around the 8th century, the Mayans abandoned the highly developed civilization and migrated on a large scale. Every central city they created also terminated new buildings, the cities were completely abandoned, and the prosperous big cities became barren and swallowed up by tropical jungles. Maya civilization disappeared in the tropical jungle of America overnight.
