The Mayans are still around today, they just spread out of southern mexico into central america and beyond. I really hate it when people talk about Mayans as if they just vanished without a trace when their people are still around today, still speak the language, still maintain tradition, etc.
Mayans are the largest group of indigenous people by population. Many mayan villages still exist. In A lot of places mayan languages are peoples first language
The Anasazi or Ancient Pueblo People are an interesting one. They built amazing cliff dwellings, they are very much steeped in mystery. Why they chose to live on the side of cliffs, how they vanished, etc.
Hey, another great video! Yes, the Easter Island Civilization collapsed after they used caused their own ECOLOGICAL collapse. When the Polynesians arrived, the island was heavily forested and full of life. But archaeological research shows that they completed deforested the island, which then washed away all of the topsoil. This is explained in "Collapse", which is the excellent scholarly book by Jared Diamond. He is the same anthropologist who wrote "Guns, Germs and Steel".
@ 4:47 the Olmecs & the concept of zero? I'd like to know more. 7:47 the Indus valley civilization, despite the "r" in "Harappa" I was impressed that you pronounced it with a "d" as "Hadappa" which is indeed correct but sadly spelled quite inaccurately like many words for which I don't understand the reason.
Nikhilesh Surve according to what I know, the concept of zero was used by the Mayans and not by the olmecs; but also I think that the Vikings or other European culture (I don't know wich exactly) used it concurrently
Alan Arana Thanks for that info. I'm only aware (but not much) of the Hindus using the concept of zero as well as different symbols for different digits form 1-9 which the Arabs (initially merchants probably) used later. I wasn't aware of the Mayans, Vikings, etc.
The civilization of Rapa Nui, AKA Easter Island, "mysteriously" faded away because the people living on the small island used up all the resources that it had to offer, including the ones the Dutch brought with them when they colonized it on Easter Sunday. Because of all of this, erosion took place, killing everyone on the island. Today, the statues that were made out of Rapa Nui's trees still stand as a site for all the tourists who still visit it and as an example of why humans these days need to use less resources around them, so that way, their children-- when they are all grown up-- can repopulate for many generations to come.
Hello, research Mojo! There are over 5 million Mayan people still alive today and living in Hondurus, Southern Mexico, and the countries between. They have even been relearning their culture and language. You should say the Ancient Mayan, not the Mayan as a whole, as the modern Mayan are indeed alive and well. Their decline was due to drought, plague, and being assimilated into the conquering Spanish and Portuguese settler groups. True, the ancient culture and language have to be rediscovered, but even Ancient Norse has to be rediscovered by modern Norwegian (Norse), and no one is saying the Norse civilization disappeared, just changed.
Mateo Jugo um that's kinda 100% known we know they left from Britain to build the colony. They were British. So not a civilization. Or even a distinct culture.
Historians agree that the axumite empire was destroyed by queen gudit, the question of how or who the declined started have nothing to do with the destroyer of such kingdom. It declined since the 7th century due to many causes, internal and external. The questions are rather asked about the ethnicity of such queen, it is unknown whether she was ethiopian Jewish or another tribe more south of the kingdom of axum.
Do a list of actors and actress who keep on being in shows that end up cancelled like Serinda Swan in Breakout Kings and GraceLand and Rebecca Romijn in Eastwick and Hotel 666. There's so many people that just keep appearing in shows that get cancelled over and over. That'd be an interesting list.
The easter island mystery has already been solved. It was proven that rats infestation ravaged the entire land of it's coconut seeds and coupled with tribal feud.
The indus valley civilozation is the only civilazation that began the trade links in indian subcontienent. Excavations led by pakistani scientist and europeon archeaologist discovered that the location where mohenjo daro is located was actually nuked. Nobody knows how 4000 years ago,atomic explosion occured in such a remote location
I'm looking for facts regarding a civilization believe to exit on an Island which sunk but before this was an amazing Trading Post. Also the Island featured Ape men(very tall). Anyone have any arrows to help point me in the right direction
Technically, the Mayans have not disappeared... there are still people in Yucatán and Guatemala today whose first language is maya, and a few tribes here and there. They disappeared as a civilization allright, but the mayans themselves, while very few now, still exist.
There's FOUR civilizations in this list speculated to have disappeared in part due to climate change. I've even heard the expression "SEVERE climate change"... How much was these civilizations carbon footprint, again?
We know the climate changes, ice ages are a fact of that. The problem is that the mainstream "scientists" don't have a control to compare against today's data. So whether we have a significant impact on the climate or not is going to be pretty difficult to prove.
Climate change can be described in a context over a drastic change that occurred slowly or mass natural disasters. Such as wildfires that cause too long of winters, or crop diseases caused by temperature swings that allow invasive species to flourish. It isn't just climate change caused by pollution
Burned to death in a forest fire? I didn't know they had lighters. As stupid as that might sound you just made an equivalent statement. Yes, other things can cause fires besides a lighter. Sometimes nature even starts a forest fire. Sometimes, usually even, the climate changes without significant input from humans. And sometimes human input is a factor in climate change.

Hakuzen Alvein Xerxes was a Persian king back in the Classical era of civilizations, also even if this comment was taken at face value we know what happened to the citizens of Xerxes
Nabataeans? Seriously? You know that 2 Earthquakes destroyed large parts of Petra and that the trades routes changed, so they did not pass Petra anymore? So the reason is not very "mysteriously". Instead of that you should have put the Huns on the List.
Also, aren't there still people of Mayan heritage still living in Mexico? Will a Mexican please confirm/deny this :-) Sorry if my statement about there still being Maya is completely wrong...a professor of mine told me there are Mayans in Mexico today
Rivka G technically yes, there still are mayans descendants today, although they don't have the same cultural beliefs, they have adapted to modern society, and they talk somewhat rare or at least to me, cause they speak different from the 'common' Mexican, or not that common though, the region I live has a particular accent, but I don't have it un/fortunetaly, so I kinda speak a neutral/mexican spanish
The Mayans are still around today, they just spread out of southern mexico into central america and beyond. I really hate it when people talk about Mayans as if they just vanished without a trace when their people are still around today, still speak the language, still maintain tradition, etc.
Xicano Xperience yea, although the most closely related to the Mayans are a tribe in Guatemala.

rapa nui natives still exist . Easter island is part of Chile now
The Anasazi or Ancient Pueblo People are an interesting one. They built amazing cliff dwellings, they are very much steeped in mystery. Why they chose to live on the side of cliffs, how they vanished, etc.
Can't wait to get ourselves on the List !
I study archeology and anthropology, and that was well done and well researched. Much appreciated
All I can ever think is this narrator has such a beautiful voice.
