In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Maya collapse through the lens of Uxmal, the largest Puuc city in the Yucatán. They examine the unique Puuc architectural style—extravagant facades, intricate mosaics, and the iconic Nunnery Quadrangle—and its connection to the rain god Chaac. The conversation delves into how Uxmal's reliance on chultunes and aguadas made it vulnerable to drought, and how the Xiu dynasty's shift in power to Mayapán marked the end of Puuc dominance. They discuss the controversy over the city's abandonment: was it drought, social upheaval, or something else?
