If you have ever had the pleasure of backpacking around South America you have probably had the ‘Mayan talk’ at some point.
Everyone seems to have their own theory. Some of the more far-fetched theories involve alien interference. Heck, they even offer cruises where you can spend five hours with world-renowned experts on the matter. They are, of course, American.
The general consensus amongst those who don’t believe in other-worldly explanations tends to be that some form of climate change happened, forcing the Mayans from their land and spreading them out across Central and South America.
Now scientists believe they have solved the century-old conundrum, pointing to a massive drought mixed with a healthy dose of anarchy and warfare.
Well played scientists. Now please solve why, at the exact moment I start to pick my nose, someone always looks at me. Seriously, every time.
