Thery cannot even find their buried dead and have no idea what they did with them.

I have been to Chichen Itza also. Climbed half way up and then freaked out and came back down. :>) They told us during the tour that everyone left due to a period of severe droughts.
Something that happened yesterday can be baffling if there is not enough evidence to discern what happened. Something that happened 10000 years ago can be well understood if there is ample evidence. Take the age of the Earth, for instance. There is substantial evidence to make a pretty good determination of the age of the Earth. Not that big of a deal.
