Around
900 CE, Maya Cities Were Abandoned
A few people
continued to live in the cities, but mostly, the cities were .. empty.
The people had, for the most part, disappeared, gone somewhere else.
Those who remained were unable or unwilling to repair the magnificent
roads and buildings.
The great Maya cities fell into ruin.

happened to the Mayas?
