Maya collapse cycles.
C lassic Period Maya society (A.D. ∼250–850) is almost as well known for its collapse as for its tremendous accomplishments in hieroglyphic writing, monumental art, and architecture and an extensive, populous network of cities and towns that crossed the terrain of parts of four modern nations (Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras). Indeed, interest in the political and demographic collapse o...
متن کاملClimate and the collapse of Maya civilization.
In the anoxic Cariaco Basin of the southern Caribbean, the bulk titanium content of undisturbed sediment reflects variations in riverine input and the hydrological cycle over northern tropical South America. A seasonally resolved record of titanium shows that the collapse of Maya civilization in the Terminal Classic Period occurred during an extended regional dry period, punctuated by more inte...
متن کاملDynamical Wave Function Collapse: Could It Have Cosmological Consequences?
An interpretation of a theory may be defined as a set of rules for going from mathematical statements to statements about reality. In particular, given an initial state vector and the Hamiltonian governing its evolution, an interpretation of quantum theory should enable one to say which are the states which might be realized in nature, and their probabilities of realization. The famous so-calle...
متن کاملCould Asymmetric Information Alone Have Caused the Collapse of Private-Label Securitization?
A key feature of the 2007-2008 financial crisis is that for some classes of securities trade has ceased. And where trade does occur, it appears that market prices are well below what one might believe to be the intrinsic value for that class of security. This seems to be especially true for those securities where the payoff streams are particularly complex (for example, CDOs). One explanation f...
متن کاملDrought, agricultural adaptation, and sociopolitical collapse in the Maya Lowlands.
Paleoclimate records indicate a series of severe droughts was associated with societal collapse of the Classic Maya during the Terminal Classic period (∼800-950 C.E.). Evidence for drought largely derives from the drier, less populated northern Maya Lowlands but does not explain more pronounced and earlier societal disruption in the relatively humid southern Maya Lowlands. Here we apply hydroge...
