To my knowledge, scientists and anthropologists have been trying to figure this out for countless years but have never figured it out.
Makes me wonder if something very strange happened to them, especially with their odd 2012 predictions.
Anyway, they most likely were killed by disease and war.
They were invaded by the Spanish Conquistadors. The invasion started in the mid 1500's and stretched over most of the Yucatan penninsula. The Mayans were basically the alst hold outs but their society was basically plowed under by the Spaniards. Though technically their society had begun to decline as early as 900 CE when the pre-columbian societies began to emerge.
12 21 2012 also is not considered an end of the world scenario for the Mayans. It was intended to come as the beginning of a new era, it was the end of an age and the start of a new one.Theres nothing left by the Mayans which states any prophecy towards a flaming hideous end of the world.
Over the course of Human History, civilizations have come, flourished, and vanished by the thousands. The only way we have any knowledge of the Mayans is because of the Spaniards who came and introduced diseases that their immune systems had no defense for such as Syphilis and other STD's due to the fact that the natives were awed by white men – yes, the real Spanish are Caucasian – and offered up their young women to the "gods" for sexual pleasure. Some of the South American Natives still bear some of the Mayan culture although it is now considered mostly for tourist attractions, kind of like the Native North American cultures.
Just my not-so-humble opinion. B)
Human sacrifice. When their crops began to fail, they killed thousands of people as an offering to the gods. Then the water supply became poisoned and the conquistadors came and slaughtered most of them.
They consumed all their resources. Cut down too many trees, over-farmed the land, drought, leaving them with not enough food or water. Which then most likely led to society collapse and war… good ol’ unsustainable living… something we are currently doing right this second.
In the 4th century, a Chinese missionary under the Shang Dynasty named Hsu-Shen (Hoshan) came to America in search of his people who were the East Yi (Black Chinese). When the Chinese arrived, they encountered the Olmecs who had already been living on the land. The Chinese considered the black Olmecs as the descendants of the Black Chinese "Yi" people. Hoshan's people settled and mixed in with the Olmecs and produced the "Aboriginal." The Olmecs gave the lower kingdom to these aborigines. The aborigines called the land 'Mu-Xian' which is a combination of the Olmeccan-Ashuric-Aramaic word 'Mu' which means "one", and the Chinese word 'Xian' named after Hsu-Shen. Did you know that there is a province in China today called 'Xian', and that this is the site of the only Chinese pyramids? Mu-Xian became 'Mixian' and eventually 'Mexian' or 'Mexico.' The aborigines called themselves 'Mexicans' and they re-mixed with the Olmecs, which resulted in a sub-tribe called 'Hopi'. The Hopi clan was taught the religion of the Dogon and given the secrets of the stars. Several hundred years later the Hindu East Indians arrived in Mexico and they bred in with the Mexicans and produced Mongoloid tribes like the Inuit and Eskimo who migrated far north to Canada and Alaska.
Out of the Mexican also came the Aztec, Inca, Toltec, Mixtec, and Mayans which were the five nations. The Mayans rejected their Olmec ancestry and gravitated toward their Chinese ancestry. The Mayans began practicing human sacrifice and cannibalism. The Mayans were banished by the original Olmecs and were told to leave or be destroyed. The Mayan relocated and sailed east to Asia and mixed in with the Mongols of Southeast Asia and became known as 'Angkor.' Today the Angkors no longer go by their ancient name; their modern day name is 'Cambodian.' Yes, the Cambodians are really the Native Americans that were banished. This is why the ruins of ancient Cambodia are identical to the ruins of the Mayan Empire. Historians claim that the Mayan civilization just vanished. The word 'Maya' means "illusions", because it seemed as if they disappeared over night. The Mayans didn't just disappear; an entire ethnic group just doesn't simply vanish over night, they simply packed up and moved to the other side of the planet.
Very interesting, Do you have more documentation on this subject in which I can read?
