Why did Mayan Civilization Collapse?

What do we know?

1. The Mayan Civilization developed in a region that was not ideal for supporting civilization (Rain forests, lack of cereal grasses, lack of animals that could be domesticated, lack of connection to other advanced civilizations)

2. Mayan Civilization was divided into many city-states and was never a unified empire.

3. Mayan culture was stratified; that is it contained social classes in which the wealthy and powerful had privileges and the lower classes provided labor

4. Mayan Kings and royals showed off their status by building great works of architecture and living lavish lifestyles.

Based on all of this information, and other information that you have learned, what is your theory as to why the Mayan Civilization collapsed after nearly 1000 years of growth and development?
