Ancient Maya Metropolis

The ancestors of today’s Maya people thrived in hundreds of cities across Central America for centuries. Why, around 800 CE, did the major cities in the lowland region begin to fail? NOVA investigates dramatic new evidence of catastrophic droughts, overpopulation, and warfare that pushed cities beyond their limits.
