Well... Neither the Ancient Egyptian empire nor the Incan empire actually disappeared due to lack of resources. In both those cases, they disappeared due to being conquered by someone else (the Romans and the Spanish respectively).

You may be thinking of Easter Island, however - where the local population cut down all of the island's trees in order to erect huge statues... and then promptly starved.

In that case: yes, it's quite possible. We need to learn that we are isolated on this planet, and we only have a limited amount of resources at our disposal.

dorobo	Posted Jun 15th, 2009 at 12:21PM Well, since there are still people in Eqypt and in Mexico I doubt that was what did them in. Actually, both were invaded by superior forces who took over their lands and killed most of them off. No one would do that if there wasn't anything to eat. Rated: +1Vote for this!
