What destroyed the Maya civilization?
Civilizations are not destroyed. They are not objects that can be destroyed; by the same token, water for example cannot be crushed or broken, nor can it convert into something like metal or a wood. Similarly it is not appropriate to think that a civilization (whether Maya, Roman, Western, Chinese or whoever's) can be destroyed. It just does not happen that way. A civilization consists of many different attributes such as a political system, societies and communities, cultural values and forms of cultural activity, for example. And so, different kinds of changes happened to these different aspects or dimensions of Maya civilization. The question "what destroyed Maya civilization" is probably referring to what archaeologists and historians refer to as the Collapse of Maya Civilization or the Classic Maya Collapse. This concept refers to the transformations in politics, economy, culture, and social organization that occured to Maya societies around the period of 900 AD to 1000 AD. There are a number of different theories about how this widespread systematic transformation happened. Some of the best theories today include a multifactorial explanation -- that is an explanation that uses many factors to explain the "collapse" of the political and economic system of that period. Some factors are ecological degradation and climatological stress leading to agricultural crises, increased war between independent Maya political states, disruption of trade, and changes in the values that had supported kingship (rule by divine kings). There was something of a demographic crisis and migration that lead to the depopulation of a number of Maya cities; some were completely abandoned. The Maya peoples were organized into multiple sociocultural and linguistic groups or ethnic groups. But they continued to live and Maya civilization was therefore not "destroyed", just transformed. P.s. 'Mayan' is an adjective that is only correctly used to refer to the Mayan languages that comprise the Mayan language family (there are about 28 or 32 depending on which linguistic authority you like best).
