The destruction of Mayan civilization
Maya society was once quite prosperous. Farmers cultivate marginal fields, terraced fields and swamp rice fields to produce food that can support the population explosion. Craftsmen use flint, stone, bone horns and shells to make works of art, make cotton cloth, carve words on stone tablets, and draw pottery and murals. Commodity trading is prevalent. But since the middle of the 7th century, Mayan society has declined. With the increase of political marriage, other royal brothers except the eldest son are excluded. Some princes left their homes to look for new cities, while others stayed to fight for inheritance. This kind of "throat" has changed from fighting for sacrifices to fighting for jewels, luxury goods, kingship and beauty ... The war is continuous, the lives are ruined, the trade is interrupted and the city is destroyed. In the end, only 65,438+00% people survived. In 76 1 year, the fall of the palace in Dusit-Pilars City can be regarded as the starting point of the decline of Mayan society. Deuce-Pilars is the central city-state within 0/500 miles of Fiona Fang/Kloc. It was attacked by enemies from the neighboring city of Tomareto. A cave with 13 heads of men aged 8 to 55 proves that the city was extinct when it was captured. Eight days later (these precise details were recorded on the stone tablet), the winner held a "closing ceremony" and smashed the throne, temple and stone tablet. Some nobles fled to the nearby city of Aguadica, a natural fortress surrounded by huge cracks. They lingered there for 40 years and were finally captured by the enemy and fell. In 800 AD, Aguadica was already a ghost town. After 820 AD, the Mayans abandoned the Piteng Rainforest, which had been built in countless cities for thousands of years, and never returned to the birthplace of this civilization. The destruction of Mayan civilization has become history, but the warning it provides is worth remembering forever. Today, more than 2 million Maya descendants still live in the lowlands of Guatemala, Mexico, Belize and Honduras. However, the essence of Mayan culture, such as hieroglyphics, astronomy, calendars and other knowledge, has disappeared and failed to be left to future generations.
