▶ Your Answer :
There is ample support for the author's point about possible reasons for the collapse of Maya Empire. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author's point.
First of all, the professor contends that social revolt was not likely to the cause of its breakdown. He says that there is no specific description even though Maya Empire already had a record system. Also, since Maya Empire was decentralized, each city had their own government. Therefore, supposing there was a revolt in one city, it had not spread to other cities. This counters the author's claim that Maya society collapsed because of social revolution of peasants who had complaint to the government.
Secondly, the professor insists that a change of trade route was not correspond with the end of Maya. According to the record, Teotihuacan stopped its role of trading 100 years before Maya's collapse. This casts doubts to the author's claim that due to the abrupt change of the trade course was on of the reasons to the Maya's breakdown, since many citizens could not buy sustenance, and it leaded them to migrate.
Finally, the professor argues that there was no evidence that diseases caused the end of Maya civilization. He says that there were no massive diseases which leaded to a significant amount of mortality in short time. This refutes the author's point that the epidemic deceases such as yellow fever and malaria were the causes to scores of death.
