By around 900 A.D., many Maya city-states in the southern lowlands, particularly in present-day Guatemala, experienced a significant decline, leading to a population shift. Some Maya people moved to the northern regions, including the Yucatán Peninsula, where cities like Chichen Itza and Uxmal became prominent. This migration was likely influenced by factors such as drought, resource depletion, and social upheaval.
