International employees of biologists were discovered in one of the caves in the northern areas of the Yukatan peninsula fossil evidence that Chichens, USHMAL and other major cities of Maya civilizations have significantly weakened in our 9th century.
This has been reported by the British University press service.
In the past, we had no chance to study the personal climate history of each mayga policy or resolution. Cave Stalagites gave us such an opportunity, and they allowed us to measure the time of the wet season, with the university time.
According to biologists, in recent years, scientists have discovered many evidence that in the 9th century, the era, the climate of the Yukatan peninsula became less moist than before, because he survived some major droughts. At the same time, the strength of the Mayan settlements, perhaps the dry northern areas of the peninsula, led to disputes about the role of drought in the collapse of Maya civilization.
Thoughts Palelimatologist from Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States approached the resolution of these disputes during the research of Stalagmites formed at the bottom of the Grutas-Tsabny cave located in the north of Yukatan at an approximation from Chichena and Ushmal, two major Maya policies. These growth, as scientists have discovered, including many clearly separate layers, component and thickness reflecting the level of rain in the rainy season in the sunset of classic Maya civilization, in 870-1100.

The researchers have studied the structure and composition of hundreds of similar floors, allowing them to rebuild the level of precipitation during the rainy season in the vicinity of Chichen-Eza, USHMAL and other policies in Northern Maya. The measurements of Oxy-18 stocks in these deposits show that in the 9th century to the 9th century, the north of the North Yukatan peninsula survived the eight major droughts, one of them lasted 13 years, from 929 to 942 of our era.
This Cataclysm is a record in observation history in Mexico, and it is also ahead by a series of three droughts in 3-5 years, separated from each other in periods in just one or two years. A combination of such circumstances, as proposed by scientists, is expected to deprive the people of Ushmal, Chichen-IT and other Maya policies for decades, weaken their strength and lead to long-term suspension in this Mesoamerica area.
About the disappearance of Maya civilization
The civilization of the Maya people lasted several millennia, leaving many “died cities” and cultural relics in Mesoamerica. In the ninth century AD, most of Maya's southern countries were abandoned by their residents, and the Northern policies were significantly weakened. The reason for this could be both prolonged drought and major military conflicts, their traces were discovered in excavations on the Yukatan peninsula in recent years.
