New Research on the Collapse of the Maya Civilization and the Drought Theory

According to information reported from Mexico's capital, Mexico City, scientists put forward a drought theory thirty years ago to explain the sudden collapse of the Maya civilization, one of the ancient world's most powerful civilizations, without a definitive explanation. Today, as researchers try to unravel the details surrounding the disappearance of this civilization, new answers obtained reveal similarities with the present day.

Researchers continue their work to understand what caused the ancient Maya civilization to mysteriously shrink and collapse. Although the drought theory proposed thirty years ago is the best-known explanation for this process, it is stated that the full story is much more complex.
