In fact the "Maya Collapse" is one of the greatest mysteries of Archaeology.
Some theories of "ecological disaster " affirm they overworked the land destroying most of their local environment - look at the film Apocalypto for a clue of this kind of ecological destruction. When a drought hit the Yucatan peninsula around the 700-800 AD, all their crops failed and their civilization collapsed when many people abandoned their cities in search for food. This is the most accepted reason, however it is just a theory and as such it is open to debate. Some other theories include disease, foreign invasion and peasant revolt but none explains such collapse on a satisfying way.
