Collapse

Ruins of ancient societies may hold keys to our own survival as archaeologists explore one of the greatest mysteries, the decline and fall of once grand civilizations. Seeks to find the reasons for the abandonment of Mayan cities over a short period of time. Comparison with the Anasazi settlements at Mesa Verde in the United States, suggests that earlier civilizations might not have lived in complete harmony with the environment, with resultant problems caused by overpopulation.
