Is it true that the Maya people vanished completely after the Classic Maya collapse around 900 AD?

No. One source directly states the Maya did not disappear after the Classic collapse, noting northern lowland cities like Chichen Itza and Mayapan rose afterward; other sources describe abandonment of specific cities or population decline rather than the extinction of the Maya people.
