The Maya were an ancient people who lived in what is now Central America that have some 3,000 years of rich history. The Maya excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making and mathematics, and left behind an astonishing amount of impressive architecture and symbolic artwork. All Maya shared a common culture and religion, but each city governed itself and had its own noble ruler. These cities never came together to form a single empire since the kings were constantly at war with each other. This constant fighting could have led to their decline. In the 8th and 9th centuries AD, Classic Maya culture went into decline, with most of the cities of the central lowlands abandoned. Warfare, ecological depletion of croplands, and drought or some combination of those factors are usually suggested as reasons for the decline. What is the central idea of this passage?
The Maya were once a thriving civilization that declined for various reasons.
The Maya civilization has 3,000 years of history and that makes them interesting to read about.
The kings of the Mayan cities were constantly at war with each other and this contributed to the decline of the civilization.
It is sad the such an innovative group of people declined due to warfare, lack of crops, and droughts.
