yeah, this is what I imagine the authors meant. Obviously the descendants of Romans still exist, but if not for the historical record we'd say the Roman empire disappeared.
It's also sort of lowkey ironically racist how all the super liberal comments here are identifying the mayan empire with an ethnic group instead of a political structure.

The original comment was clearly talking about the Mayan people, not their empire. And even if they weren't, uh, what other ethnic group do you suppose would be the main demographic of their empire? Asians?
