The Maya civilization, was a group of people who have lived in the area of Mesoamerica, or modern day Mexico. They built great temples and structures that are still viewable to this day. Some archeologists have found great art pieces that were constructed from the Maya. They were very prosperous, until something very peculiar happened. They suddenly disappeared from our records. May theories have been contributed to their absence, but he still aren't completely sure why. Some argue that they dispersed due to the fact that they were so many of them, and their food supply, or agriculture area soon ran out. Others may believe that they had all died off, due to many battles, and wars. My theory is a bit unlike theirs, and I have a bit of evidence.
    In my head, I have several beliefs on what ACTUALLY happened to the Maya, and why they all disappeared. In actuality, I believe that they ran out of the agriculture area, and food. They might have used that area for a while, and finally, when the land could give them no more, they simply moved on elsewhere. They most likely found a place with greater fertile lands, and more food that is provided for them.
