History - Why did the Mayan Empire End so Quickly?

Look at the 'History Mystery' presentation (below). Stop at slide 5 and think up some possible reasons for the decline of the Mayan civilisation.

Now look at the four possible reasons outlined on slide 7 of the presentation.

Decide on one of these reasons to investigate.

You must now look for evidence to support the idea you have chosen.

Use the 'Evidence bank' document and find as much evidence to support your theory as possible.
