The collapse of Maya civilization is one of the great mysteries of the ancient world. Innumerable books and articles about this cataclysm have been written and scholarly debate continues to appear in periodicals from Science Magazine to the New York Times. But what exactly is meant by the term “collapse” – what events are really recorded by the changes archaeologists seen in the archaeological record. And who exactly were “the Maya”? Were they a unified culture, a single civilization, or something more unlike early European civilizations, and possibly something even more interesting and relevant to the challenges to the modern world?
