Their civilizations decayed, of course Mayan tribes that wandered the terrain still existed, I think that's what's confusing you. Around 1000 A.D. Mayan cities were already abandoned, no one really knows why, but the Mayans burned their homes and fled into the wilderness.(16 Dec 12, 07:01PM)#M|A#Wolf Wrote: The Mayans were gone way before the Spanish came.
I thought you were Mexican?
I figured you would know that the Mayans still exist.

They DID fight the Spaniards for quite some time
It's a common misconception that the Spaniards eliminated the Mayan civilization, yes, they did kill thousands of natives from various tribes like the Huastecs, Aztecs, and Mayans because of disease and superiority in arms but the actual Mayan civilizations and cities were already gone by then.
