Answer:

Scholars are unsure what happened to the Maya. Their urban centers were abandoned and they disappeared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scholars have suggested a number of potential reasons for the downfall of Maya civilization in the southern lowlands, including overpopulation, environmental degradation, warfare, shifting trade routes and extended drought. What is certain is that the Mayans didn't disappear in the aftermath of the collapse.
