A baffling question that seemed to stumble people is “what happened to the Mayans?”. Reviewing my facts about the Mayans I have come to my own conclusion on how they disappeared. I believe that the Mayans encountered a prolonged drought in the Yucatan peninsula, that occurred during post-classical era that lasted for decades. In other words, the early tenth century. Previously they used the water from the underground rivers to irrigate their land. In time, the underground rivers were dried out and water was no more. Eventually all their vegetation died and famine came. People died of hunger and were desperate for water. They begged Chac, their rain god, for rain. Chac did not answer their prayers and the Mayans suddenly collapsed from this natural disaster.
