I'd probably go with the last one, that the Mayan civilization was not built around a major river. Many of the Mayan cities are located deep within jungle where they were found by archaeologists -- and which has also made finding new ruins difficult. 

Mesopotamian civilization was actually built around not just one, but two major rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates. Two ancient cities, Baghdad and Babylon, were both founded along their routes.
