They didn't. The Maya as a people still make up a sizable part of Mexico's population. In several regions - especially in the Yucatan area - the Maya language is still spoken and Maya traditions are still upheld. Only the Mayan religion has changed to Roman Catholic.
The Mayans died out because when the Europeans came to Central America they brought with them diseases, the Mayans did not have immunity to those diseases. Some of them are still living today but don't practice the same religion they once did.
From what I found as I looked and looked, the Mayans did not die off, they divided into several smaller tribes around the 8th or 9th century...some people say that when the 200 year drought happened the Mayans could not make it past that...for more information look up Maya civilization with Wikipedia.
No one really knows how the Mayan civilization collapsed. It collapsed around 900 A.D.
The Mayans died out in 900 A.D. but some are still alive.
The Maya didn't technically disappear, there are still some around today (in 2010). But they fell around 910 AD, but not exactly.
In 1200 A.D. the Mayans disappeared for no reason. When the Mayan city moved, their civilization declined.
The Mayan peoples and culture are still in existence to this day.
The Mayans are alive and well.
