Extreme weather preceded collapse of Maya civilization | |

Oh ya, they could have just hopped into the Family Minivan, gassed up and drove. LOL. It's a LONG WALK and major issue to relocate a Civilization up to 1000's of miles on a whim of bad weather. How unfortunate for some rulers when men,women,and children continue to think... Keep repeating the lies loud enough and long enough and just maybe the people will start to believe the lies again and good luck with that...finding your energy open until mars becomes raging aries... |

Quoting: T Ceti H.C. Radnarg well...it is a theory, you have to admit that. there are several very good threads that are in line with you ideas and i find them all to be very interesting. critical thinking: i totally subscribe to the idea of alternate histories against what we've been taught....burial sites being an indicator. HOWEVER, you have to remember that 90% of people live and lived near the coast and much of ancient culure is now underwater. also, i wouldnt expect to find much ancient clothing.....throw a t-shirt out in you yard, leave it for a couple of years and see what happens to it....it doesnt last. there were no "industries" to feed and clothe people, people made their own materials and fed themselves for the most part. most of what we find is made of stone (structures) and clay because the products last thousands of years. in the times of kenniwich man there was only 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 people alive so your estimates are way too high. plus it is not like we have dug up the entire earth and found a supreme lack of population. earth is a big place, there is much much more to be discovered. not necessarily. if every textile was under the same conditions then maybe but forces like weather, erosion and exposure to moisture play a role. example...that t shirt i mention earlier....i bet the one in your closet lasts ALOT longer than the one in your yard..... |

Cities were abandoned when an alien race came along with not so nice intentions. I believe the oldest pyramids were star ships. If gravity can be nullified, it is easier, cheaper and cleaner to build a massive stone ship then a fragile metal one. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18401048 United States 11/12/2012 02:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guess I will speak a little bit more on this subject because I live in the area where the Myan culture was/is. The myans were the last part of mexico that the spaniards defeated. They were valiant warriors and the culture was thriving even when the spanish came. One poster was correct saying that it was mostly disease that wiped them out. I can tell you from first hand experience that the culture is still alive and well the locals still speak the myan dialect. Its very funny to read what you guys think you know. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27604832 i am very interested in mayan culture. obviously i am not as in tune with it as you. if i am off base with any of my post please correct me. |

The people here are extremely nice and they love to talk ALOT! I have repelled into some very deep and remote caves here and have seen pottery that they used to collect water. One thing about the yucatan is it has no rivers, the ground here is limestone extremely porous but the have a lot of rain and thus a lot of ground water. A bad drought would certainly affect the people here in a bad way they depended on the rain for their corn crops no rain = no food. They have 2 rainy seasons here where it rains for a few months at around 5pm every day so they plant the crops according to this weather pattern and the traditional farmers here still do it that way. This year for example the rain came late by two weeks and a lot of people lost their corn crop. |

Quoting: T Ceti H.C. Radnarg Lack of bodies - how about they burned them? or they left the bodies to be picked clean by animals and whatever the animals left, was burned or used as tools and whatnot? We also know that bodies were mummified and stashed in caves. Then there's the actual burying part - if contained to small family plots, maybe we just haven't found them? We still haven't found all the HUGE temples! So it's not at all suspicious we haven't found all itty bitty bones. Industries? Why would they need industries? And why would there be ruins of them if they existed? If you're working out of a wood hut or lean to or in the open air - there isn't going to be much evidence you were ever there. Again....big temples are still being discovered...so maybe we just haven't FOUND them yet. You're making a lot of assumptions to reach your conclusions. God Bless President TRUMP! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! |

Quoting: Witch King [link to news.ucdavis.edu] Let's not forget the spaniards. spaniards took out what was left (mostly disease). but when they got here there were vast cities left abandoned and the mayans who remained lived in small groups away from the cities. they moved..to underground..below the sphinx..thats why there are canals with water etc to float around in this area. They werent so stupid to let drought kill them. |

I asked my girlfriend who is myan about this and she said the reason they stopped making it was because the spanish came and forced their religion on the people. Simply the myans stopped making the calendar because the spanish wouldnt allow it due to suppression of the culture. Sorry I couldnt give you a more mysterious answer. |

They quit making it because they traced it backwards, then forwards to where the planets were alligned when time began...and ended it when these same planets will be aligned ..maybe a new time will begin, maybe so time will end.

The Mayans brought about their own ends by routinely cutting down huge trees for their bonfires which were used for human sacrifice. They also just as routinely sacrificed all of their 'first fruits' - virgins - both male and female, including innocent children. It's also interesting to note that they were one of the original creators of SPORTS; however, their 'sports' always ended in blood and death, for the losers. There's a saying ... "When the Mayans return, the end is not far off." Or something to that extent. Yes, we are now in end times, yes the Mayans have returned, in the form of Latinos (Mexicans) who are the children of these Mayans, and yes our civilization aka 'mankind' has begun its own demise by the foolish destruction of our own planet. So don't look for 'climate change' that ends civilization - we should all just look to ourselves to see the destruction we have ALL wrought against nature in one way or another; we are all guilty of crimes against the earth - our only habitat - which now begins to close. Blessings to all who understand and support my statement! Thank you for reading my post. I am trying to discern any truth to what you wrote above. But I cant, it is entirely worthless made up garbage. I dont even know where to start... |
