The document discusses the Maya civilization and why it declined. It provides context about Maya cities and maps of the cities of Palenque and Copan. The Maya lived in independent city-states that served as religious and cultural centers. Around 900 AD, the Maya mysteriously abandoned their great city-states. Archeological evidence such as houses, monuments, bones, and botanical remains can provide clues about whether the Maya left their cities slowly or suddenly and why they declined.
