Imagine a big, strong castle that has been standing for hundreds of years, it looks almost unbreakable. But one day, the people inside start fighting each other, food gets scarce, and strangers attack from all sides. Soon, the castle crumbles. That's like what happened to many ancient civilizations. They were powerful, but a mix of problems made them fall.
