Maya peopleThe Maya civilization, celebrated for its cultural achievements, faced a fascinating journey marked by innovations in water management, societal complexities, and a perplexing collapse. This report delves into three primary aspects: the ingenious water management strategies of Kaminaljuyu, Copan, and Tikal; the enigmatic collapse of the Classic Maya civilization; and the economic systems prevalent in ancient Maya society (Medina- Elizalde, 2012).  The ancient Maya, spanning Southern Mexico to Honduras, flourished for centuries with advanced cities and a rich culture. Yet, their abrupt decline, leaving abandoned cities and unanswered questions, remains a fascinating mystery (Helies, 1998).
