Why did the mayan civilization fall?

We call it the Mayan Mystery.

The mayan civilization fell but it's not like the mayans died because there are still maya people in Mexico today and it's still spoken language wise.

Some people think they just disappeared and like they're instantly gone but they left the cities. We have actually found some mayan cities that appeared to be abandoned almost immediately like food still on the table. So it's really kind of a mystery as to what happened. There was like a network of 50 cities and they were like engaged with one another and trade was going on and all of a sudden, it kind of just stops and we really don't know why.

Believe it or not, it wasn't until like 1920 that archaeologists realized that there was like this 1,000 year old civilization that had cities in Mexico.

So to answer your question, we can't know for sure what happened but this hasn't stopped people from making theories about what happened.

The most current thought is that it was probably a combination of things and they probably exhausted the land. There is evidence of a possible civil war that happened within the mayan culture. But it wasn't disease, it wasn't an invading army, and it wasn't a natural disaster. It seemed to be something internal but we're just not quite sure.

No one knows the true reason for the mysterious decline and fall of the Mayan civilization but many believe that it was because the Maya had exhausted their environment and surroundings to the point that it couldn't sustain a large population anymore. This would have caused all the Maya to abandon their cites or die off. Again this is just a popular theory of scholars but the answer is that no one really knows. All that is for sure known is that the Classic cites were soon abandoned and the Maya region collapsed. Hoped this helped.

What were the details of the Great Compromise?
Neko [114]
I believe it was when small and large States decided to have an upper and Lower house. the lower house, house of rep, was to have the number of rep. be based on population. while the upper house, the senate, was made to give all states an equal representation in the government. this being based on statehood ,which earned two senators, and did not take population into account into choosing the number of senators.
