In this EverCurious episode we dive into the powerful story of the Classic Maya civilisation – how they reached great heights, why their cities declined around AD 800-900, and what the story of their “collapse” can teach us today.
We’ll cover climate change, environmental stress, political turmoil, and the resilience that followed. Get comfortable, grab your virtual time-machine helmet, and let’s explore one of history’s greatest mysteries.
