Answer 1

Answer: For one thing, the Egyptian civilization lasted much longer than the Mayan, several thousand years as opposed to six or seven hundred. While both built pyramids, the Egyptian ones were much more impressive.

The Mayan civilization was thus very susceptible to droughts, and one of those combined with the Spanish invasion was ultimately responsible for its demise.
