Historians have many theories regarding the collapse of the Mayan Civilization. They are not sure which one is the cause of such a great civilization to collapse. I think that this civilization collapsed not just because of one thing , but because of a combination of things. In my opinion I think they collapsed because of over-population. As a result of so much people in that civilization other problems could have occurred. One thing I have learned about history that has happened to most of the places and empires that I have learned in school is that once a great civilization reaches its peak it gets over-populated.
Once there are too many people things get out of control and then later their whole civilization collapses. So, in this case I think that the Mayan Civilization collapsed because of being over-populated. Some of the problems that could have occurred with this main problem are as follow: not sufficient food supplies, water , rebelliance between inside cities, and wars for power or land. The Mayan civilization was very remarkable but just as it came it left. The Mayan civilization did many things that were very advanced at that time, and it is still remembered today as a great empire, too bad it had to collapse so fast.
