Drought Theory
A little bit you should know about the theory:
The Ancient Maya Region had droughts that hit with particular ferocity for different reasons. Some of these reasons were that they had thin tropical soils that become less capable of growing good plants. Also, they had seasonal droughts that happened regularly, drying up the surface water. There were documented cycles made up of drought, famine, disease, and war. This presented a reliable record of basic drought patterns in Ancient Maya civilization. The climate began having implications in the Maya collapse theory around the time of 1931. The theory is that a long series of droughts hit the Maya regions, causing natives to flee. This is understandable because many of the other non-environmental theories can all be traced back to the drought factor. Climate changes are becoming a more and more frequent cause of the rises and collapses of regions and cities. Even though no one can be certain, This theory is getting more and more realized as the most likely theory of all. |
