About This Lesson
Scientists have been trying to solve the mystery behind the collapse of the Mayan civilization. Today, a team of anthropologists and climate scientists report a very strong correlation between the civilization's rise and fall and drought conditions.
This is a good video for the content about the Collapse of the Mayan Empire, however, when showing this to your students be aware it moves quickly and may be hard for some students to process.
I would suggest stopping for a discussion during various key points in the video or providing a synopsis before watching it.
