There are many theories scientists believe the Maya fell. Some are climate, bad leaders, food shortage, etc. I think the reason they fell was because of food shortage.
There would be a food shortage when the civilization was thriving. Because they were having a high peak in society, more babies would be born. How would the babies get fed when there was no food. They wouldn't. It would be terrible to hear your child crying in hunger.
The food shortage caused the fall because how would the people get food? Eventually, everyone moved out and found a new place where they could live with a better food source. A place like the coast or a place with fertile soil would be the best. After all, their main crop was maize (corn). The city was eventually abandoned. Everyone moved, but some people died because of it.
