Possible reasons for the Maya decline include overpopulation, warfare,
Aztec Inca
The Aztecs settled in the Valley of Mexico in 1325, where they built the city of Tenochtitlán on islands in Lake Texcoco. They constructed floating gardens and built a magnificent city with stone houses, canals, and causeways connecting it to the mainland. The Incas settled in Cuzco, Peru around 1200 and grew under the rule of the leader Pachacuti in 1438. Pachacuti expanded the Inca Empire through conquest and built the famous lost city of Machu Picchu. The Incas were skilled farmers, builders, and managers, constructing an extensive road network and aqueducts. Their government was carefully organized despite having no written language.
The mayans period 1

Aztecs and incas compared politics and economics
The document compares the Aztec and Inca empires from 1200s to 1530s. Both empires were based on earlier civilizations and originally clan-based. They managed resources through intensive agriculture and conquered other groups to extract tribute. Local rulers were allowed to govern if they remained loyal and paid tribute, while sons of conquered groups were brought to the capitals. Absolute rulers led military conquests to gain tribute and captives. The empires expanded through their armies and forced tribute through stuff or labor. Both had tribute-based economies without banking, but the Aztecs also had important free markets.

The Mayans were an influential ancient civilization in Central America that developed between 300-900AD. They had a complex social hierarchy and religion, and made significant achievements in agriculture, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. They invented rubber and created accurate calendars and paintings. However, their cities were eventually abandoned around 900AD possibly due to environmental factors like drought or disease.
Maya social structure
The Maya social structure consisted of hereditary rulers at the top who had absolute power over the cities. Below them were hereditary nobles called Batabs who enforced laws, taxes, and policies. Priests usually came from the astronomer, astrologer, and mathematician classes. Merchants and traders acted as spies and carried information between cities. The majority of Mayas were peasant farmers who grew corn, beans, and squash to pay taxes and help build temples.

Byzantium was an ancient Greek city founded in 667 BCE by Greek colonists from Megara and named after their king Byzas. It was later renamed Constantinople and served as the capital of the Roman and Byzantine Empires for over 1000 years. According to legend, Byzas consulted the Oracle of Delphi and was told to found a city "opposite the blind," which he interpreted to mean on the European side of the Bosporus directly across from the Greek city of Chalcedon. Byzas went on to found Byzantium in this strategic location at the entrance to the Black Sea, later conquering Chalcedon.
