What happened to the Ancient Maya?

The Ancient Maya civilization disappeared around 900 AD after a decline lasting about 200 years. The exact reasons for their collapse remain unknown, but theories suggest civil wars, famine, and climate change as possible causes. The cities were not destroyed but abandoned, possibly due to high taxes or a desire for a quieter life. Climate change at the time may have led to rising sea levels, flooding coastal areas, and straining food supplies. The video explores these theories and invites viewers to consider what might have happened.
