And yet although the Mayas knew about the wheel, they never used it. Neither did they use metals other than copper. What is even more surprising is that they suddenly abandoned many of their cities and built new ones in the jungle. Some time around AD 900, Mayan civilization collapsed. By the year 1200, their last great capital, Chichen Itza, was deserted.
Who were these strange people and the even stranger gods they worshipped? What brought about their sudden collapse? Some writers have tried to prove that the Mayas had contact with visitors from space and even that they themselves came from another planet.
