The ancient ancestors of today's Maya people thrived in large, sophisticated cities across Central America for centuries. Why, around 750 CE, did they begin to abandon many of their major cities?

The evidence also testifies to the survival and resilience of the Maya people, whose traditions and creativity continue to enrich the world today.
