One such god was the serpent god Quetzalcoatl and another example was the pyramid for the god of rain, Chak. Also, the Mayans were known for their social and political organization and structure. Until the 900, the Mayans were being governed by several kings and rulers, each of a region of the vast empire.

Some also mention corruption and disorder. This happened around the 9th century A.D.
