The meso American version of this is so fascinating because they built so many civilization supporting infrastructures and then seemingly forgot or just stopped how to using them leading to a collapse several times over.
I want to believe that religion or politics prevented them from enduring to the present day as they were at their height and that we'll meet the same fate for the same reasons.
