Shadow Hawk Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Does that make it the ultimate "Argument from Ignorance" logical fallacy? Argument from incredulity, I think.

Michael Hopcroft Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures That's my point. They can predict the end of the world' date=' but they didn't see the Spaniards coming?[/quote'] The Mayan civilization had collapsed pretty thoroughly by then; although Mayans were still around (they hadn't been outright culturally exterminated as would happen to the Aztecs after them) they were no longer able to maintain an urban lifestyle. It's theorized that something they did altered their ability to grow enough food to support the cities and states by making agriculture more difficult to sustain. When people realized that they couldn't get food if they continued to live in the cities, the cities were abandoned. So whatever happened to the Mayan civilization, they probably did it to themselves, unintentionally. We don't know nearly as much about the Mayans as we do about the Aztecs, but we know considerably more about them now than we did even twenty-five years ago.

Susano Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Didn't they find evidence of a serious 10-25 year long drought? There was also issues with having exploited the surrounding lands for as much agricultural output as was possible, and being unable to support any more population.

If he could just close up the few remaining gaps, it'd be near perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
