Some believe that the Mayans were able to predict hundreds of years into the future, even so much as to name the last day of life on Earth as we know it. And while many people are willing to admit they were an amazing civilization, the abrupt collapse of their empire has puzzled modern man for years and put a skeptical damper on those supposed predictive abilities. From war, to climate change, to alien relocation, many theories have been put forth to explain the collapse, why it happened to such an advanced society at such a quick rate, and how such an advanced people couldn't have seen their end coming. New research now says that changing trade routes may have played a large role in the collapse of the Mayans, stretching the empire and restricting the goods so valuable to the Mayans. Take a look.
