In point of fact, we have discovered quite a lot about the Mayan civilization. You need to visit some more Mayan web sites and read some current archeological journals. But due to the fact we have not yet deciphered much of their writings, we have some gaps in our knowledge. Not all information is at the same level for all civilizations. Some have yet to be studied still. Science always admits its gaps. But until you can (using the scientific method) prove we will never know, then it is just an unknown. Not a MYSTERY, not WERID, not anything, except... an unknown. Not something that will never be known (if you think so, prove it), just something not fully understood YET! It is specious to argue that just because you cannot fully answer all questions, you don't know anything about a subject. A logic course would have taught you that.
