The prosperity and decline, and the numerous mysteries left behind in the ruins, attract not only historians and archaeologists, but also many people. In this article, we will explore more deeply about the locations that set the Mayan civilization, the mysteries of prosperity and destruction, and the spiritual charms hidden in the ruins.
The stage of the Mayan civilization, the diverse natural environment and city states
The Mayan civilization flourished in regions that span what is now southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and parts of El Salvador. This vast area was blessed with a diverse range of natural environments, including tropical rainforests, plateaus and coastlines.
Terrain and climate
The tropical rainforest, blessed with fertile soil and abundant rainfall, making it a suitable area for agriculture. However, at the same time, it was a harsh environment, with the challenges of moisture, disease and jungle.
In the plateau and in the arid regions, the limestone was abundant and used as a building material.
It was able to use coastlines and seafood, and played an important role as a trading route.
The formation of city-states
The Mayan civilization developed through the development of independent city-states, rather than unified empires, by competing and cooperating with each other. Each city-state had its own rulers, temples and cultures, and formed a complex political structure. These city-states, while each of them was independent, shared a common culture and religion.

The Mayan civilization: The Mysterious Decline
The Mayan civilization, boasting its advanced civilization, experienced a massive decline at the end of the Classical Period. Various theories have been proposed about the cause of this decline, but no conclusive conclusions have been made.
Probable theory: Environmental destruction
- Due to the expansion of agricultural land due to deforestation and population growth, and the demand for building materials has led to large-scale cutting of forests.
- Soil erosion and forest loss caused soil erosion and reduced fertility.
- Drought and long-term droughts caused a sharp decline in agricultural production.
Political turmoil
- Wars between city-states and conflicts between city-states intensified, and wars began to occur frequently.
- Even within the internal conflict and city-states, power struggles and rebellions broke out among the ruling class.
- Social unrest, war and food shortages have made society unstable.
Pestilence
- The epidemic of infectious diseases such as smallpox became prevalent, causing the population to plummet.
- The weakened immunity and the long-term food shortage have weakened people's immunity.
Invasion from outside
- Other ethnic groups invaded and other ethnic groups destroyed city-states.
- Destruction of trade routes and the economy was disrupted.
- These factors are thought to have been intertwined in a complex way, leading to the decline of Mayan civilization. In recent years, the theory that environmental destruction was the most important factor has become a promising theory.
