ANSWER:

In 1200 BCE, the Egyptian Empire was declining as the Maya civilization was beginning in Mesoamerica.

EXPLANATION:

The first art, architectural, writings and astronomical system was developed in Maya civilization. The Mayans already had an apocalypse calendar by 1212 BCE, so the Egyptian empire was gradually declining in this period in Mesoamerica. Maya civilization was one of the most dominant societies in 8th and 9th century. They dominated the Egyptian empire and started on their own in ancient Mesoamerica.

I'm pretty sure it's c. extremely gradual but not 100% sure though.
