▶ Your Answer : The lecturer forms the argument that not so much archaeologists have succeeded that why the Maya Empire collapsed. In stark contrast, the reading passage claims that several plausible theories have been advanced to explain why the Maya Empire collapsed. was collapsed. To begin with, the lecturer asserts that the abandon of the Maya Empire doesn't seem like the result of a revolution. Since there was no writing system in the Maya in that time, so there were no any such records to prove practically. Also, they were decentralized, it means meaning each city had own ruler and government. So influences of one city probably would not have spread to other. This casts doubts on the reading passages's claim that social turmoil in the form of a peasant revolt led to a breakdown of the Maya society. Furthermore, the lecturer maintains that reorganization of trade routes in the city didn't have an affect on the destruction of the Maya society. One of the most mainly organization, Teotihuacan in the Maya, was pretty big size city and significant trade herb of the Maya society. But this city reduced its economic importance prior to the Maya Empire's collapse. So there is no relation between them. This refutes the reading passage which states that many of the Maya cities were abandoned because of a sudden change to the trade route of the region. Finally, the lecturer contends that there are no evidence that diseases are possible factor of the destruction. In the Maya, there was a disease called yellow fever, came from Spanish, but it haven't been exposed to people previously. Also, archaeologists haven't found any mass graves and indications that many people died in short period of time from an epidemic. This detracts from the reading passage's argument that the Maya collapse was a result of an epidemic.
