Maya civilization may be a mystery that will never be solved. Why did Maya suddenly disappear in the 9th century AD? Although the Mayan civilization is in the Neolithic Age, it has extremely high achievements in astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, art, and writing. It even describes incredible patterns such as aircraft and astronauts in its leftover mural ! But it is this high level of civilization that disappeared in the jungle! And what do the remaining civilizations represent?

1. How did the Maya disappear?
There are several speculations about how the Maya disappeared. The first guess is to go with the aliens. This kind of speculation is because a royal tomb was found in Blanco’s "Temple of Inscriptions", and the sarcophagus was made of magnolia-colored limestone. The carved patterns on the lid of the coffin were extremely complex, depicting a curled W-shaped Maya. The human form, suspended in the center, surrounded by strange patterns, Switzerland The famous book "Chariot of God" by author von Daniken mentioned that the person curled up in the center of the coffin lid is actually an astronaut who is controlling The spacecraft took off, and some people speculated that the Maya followed the alien ancestors.

The second guess is sacrifice and killing. The ancient Mayans believed that the sun would be destroyed, and their actions could continue the existence of the sun-they must keep the sun radiant and stop it through self-sacrifice Perish, leading to sacrifices to the sun with human hearts and blood. The Maya were proud of sacrifices, and more and more people died for this. It is said that in the 16th century, the Spaniards found a large number of skulls on the sacrificial skull frame! In order to celebrate the completion of the Great Pyramid of Terutiran, during the four-day sacrifice, the slave owner killed 360,000 people! Most of the people who are used for sacrifice are healthy people in the tribe. Frequent sacrifices have increased the number of people killed. The massive decrease in the Mayan population is the cause of the disappearance of Maya culture
Second, the Mayan predictions
First,The Maya accurately predicted the time of their demise, but they did not take any action. Second, the Maya predicted the appearance of cars and airplanes, and the Maya's inscriptions clearly recorded the contents of airplanes and cars. Third, they predicted the time of Hitler's birth and death! The fifth Maya predicted that 2012 is the end of the world, but this one has not been verified.

3. Advanced level of Maya civilization
How advanced is Maya civilization? For example, the Maya revised the length of a year to 365.242129 days through long-term observation and careful calculation, which is less than one ten thousandth compared with the absolute age value of 365.242198 determined by scientific calculations today! The Venus calendar refers to the time required for Venus to circumnavigate the sun. The Mayans spent 384 years of observation period to calculate the Venus calendar year of 584 (they found that Venus traveled exactly five times in eight earth years, and then repeated the cycle. Divide the number of days in 8 earth years by 5-2920--to get 584 days), and today's calculation is 583.92 days, the error rate is less than 12 seconds per day, and only 6 minutes per month. It is incredible to calculate Venus with such a high degree of accuracy.

Where did the Maya go? What are the implications of Maya civilization? These problems are still only speculation even today with advanced technology. However, with the continuous development of technology, I believe that one day, the mystery of Mayan civilization will be unveiled.
