How long ago did the Mayans exist?

Answer 1

900 AD is normally the date given for the decline of the Mayan Civilization....

Around 300 B.C., the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings. This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic period, A.D. 200-900. Their society consisted of many independent states, each with a rural farming community and large urban sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200, the Maya dynasty finally came to a close, although some peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early sixteenth century.

Answer 2

The Mayans are still existing now, and they have existed for three thousand years. Although they abandoned their great cities and returned to a primitive jungle life before Europe knew about America, the Mayans as a people did not die out.
