Mayans are still around. It is just their civilization that has fallen from glory. People of Guatemala, Mexico etc are of Mayan origin.
And they predicted their own downfall as well, I had put that up in a link a few pages back.
Maya Asura was a great astrologer and architect, and it has been found that there are striking similarities between temples of South India and those of Mexico, Guatemala and surrounding areas. I am guessing that most Naga origin temples/KOVILS in deep south India etc have Maya Asura's influence. But I guess being an Asura, his timetable was not given due relevance in Indian context as time progressed. In India Vishwakarma took more prominence than Maya Asura's work and calculations over the course of time. That is likely where the Hindu and Mayan ways seperated.
