Why are the Mayans so special?

Their empire collapsed 500 years BEFORE those "European invaders" ever set foot in America.
I'll refrain from commenting on the rest.

It would take some 170 years and the help of the Xiu Maya before the last recognized Maya stronghold fell, that of the Itza capital of Tayasal on Lake Petén Itzá, in 1697. Following the great revolt of the seven Mayan provinces to the east, the authorisation of the Indian auxiliaries to enslave any Mayan rebels they managed to catch helped quell the resistance.
