_ Cause of Collapse (theories): 
* overpopulation causing limited resources such as food and other necessities 
* increasing conflict with other civilizations resulting in warfare
* harsh rulings from kings causing citizens to rebel/leave
* drier climate; long periods of drought making it harder to grow crops ]]> 2017-11-28 22:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mariselapink03/zbrwnhrvwlho/wish/211197601 mariselapink03 https://padlet.com/mariselapink03/zbrwnhrvwlho/wish/211198040 Mayan Art

- Four levels of political hierarchy; 
1. The King and his administration in major cities
2. Affiliated (connected) villages, large enough to have religious buildings and ruled by a lesser power 
3. Small group of vassal (holder of land) city-states, with a not so powerful person or a relative of the King in charge 
4. consisted of hamlets (smaller than a village), which were all or mostly residential and devoted to agriculture

developed a hierarchical government ruled by kings and priests

Mayan civilization was organized into city-states, which fought and traded with one another, but united with trade and religion

ruler may have done priest's work

all social classes in the Maya civilization were, in order, the king ( Ahau ), nobles, priests, merchants/artisans, and peasants/slaves

common organization but not together under one empire/ was never together under one body like Aztec

very talented artisans and poets in the middle of the social class of nobles and merchants (evidence of this in stone there)

rulers were sort of religiously looked upon as god-like 

great political/government system

(sort of two boxes/posts in one)

 The mayans used a district class system.

 Social classes: the ruler (religious leader), the nobles (specialists) and the farmers (peasants) and slaves.

the nobles specialized in important jobs.(scribes,artists,architects) 

The high class included soldiers,merchants and most importantly priests. Very wealthy and highly educated.
