They suffered from increased population, deforestation and erosion on their hillsides, fighting (over resources) and the usual short-sidedness of the rulers, who were into enriching themselves and building monuments, and eventually they could no longer sustain. (hmm, all sounds vaguely familiar)

Yup, it is a recurring theme - hopefully one of these days we'll figure it out :-)

I spent a couple of days at this ruin

en.wikipedia.org

They let you camp out there (or at least they used to), kind of spooky at night.

I saw a program Rambi where there is still excavating going on and they are finding out more and more about the Mayan culture.

I think it was on PBS. Actually it was a mini series and it too was most interesting. They were a war like people which is something I found new to me.

Archaeologists are not done with those parts of Mexico where the Mayans lived... Anthropologists either.
