The fortifications protected the city center as well as its agricultural areas—in all, a total of more than 40 square miles. Subsequent rulers continued to expand the city well into the eighth century A. and, at its peak, Yax Mutal is believed to have had a population as high as 90, 000 people. Collapse of Mayan Empire By 900 A. D., the city, like much of the Mayan empire, was in sharp decline. Decades of constant warfare started to take their toll. In addition, at around this time, historians believe the region fell victim to a series of droughts and outbreaks of epidemic diseases. This period is known as the collapse of Classic Maya. Specifically, for the area around Tikal, historians believe overpopulation and the resulting deforestation led to crop failure, and people chose to abandon the city rather than starve. Soon, the city was largely vacant, its large palaces occupied by migrant farmers. Interestingly, the area around Tikal had a sparse population long before the arrival of the Spanish colonialists in the 1500s.
