The Maya Civilization (S01E06)

From 250 to 900 CE, the Maya civilization flourished, creating some of history's most remarkable cities. They excelled in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, architecture, and calendar-making. Yet, a more sinister aspect lurked beneath the surface, with signs of human sacrifices and conflict. By 900 CE, however, the fortunes of the Maya began to wane, leading to the abandonment of many of their grand cities. What could have caused this decline? Archaeologists delve into the jungles of Central America, searching for answers to unravel the mystery behind the dramatic fall of the Maya Civilization.
