A set of inscribed panels carved by the ancient Maya people of Central America inspired Dr Neil Brodie of Cambridge University, an expert on the looting of archaeological treasures, and Mayanist Simone Clifford-Jaegar, to mount an expedition to the jungles of Guatemala. Their mission - to find the lost city from which the stone panels came. Archaeologists have been searching for the mysterious place known as Site Q since the 1960s without success. Quest For The Lost City travels down the Usumacinta River, a site well-travelled by experts; and then deep into the jungle where the explorers find a recently discovered ‘lost city’. Here, the mystery of Site Q takes a surprising and revelatory new turn thanks to a sporting hero named ‘Red Turkey’, a map showing two stones in the jungle clearing, and a Museum Director in Maine...

I always try to imagine what the photographers have to go through to get these shots. They went up the pyramid first, carrying a camera, to get the shots of the others climbing up. They get out of the 4X4 and stand off to one side to show the vehicles driving through the mud. And, mixed in with all the action are some lovely shots of the flora and fauna of the jungle around them. And they remain anonymous, never seen on screen. Only their spectacular work speaking for their skill.

I'm not surprised. I often wondered, as I flew from Mexico City to Tegucigalpa Honduras, why they weren't searching among all the different colored greenery growing in the forests, affected by the limestone buildings. It was obvious to me they were buildings beneath the trees and woods. When they developed that foto machine to detect it, I figured it was about time. Finally they can concentrate on more archeological finds. On one of my excursion in Copan, I met an elder gentleman who was so happy to share his knowledge on the mayan priests. Seeing that I was an eager student, he stayed with me for hours explaining the metaphysics and theory of the Mayan priests. Unfortunately, the museum was later burned down. I've never read any of those theories in any research papers on Mayan priests. Sad.

I'm so glad they found it. So many documentaries take you through the journey process, only to end with leads that go no where, but having eliminated or ruled out what is not. Discovery doesn't happen within the time it takes to film a documentary. So for those who will pursue careers in archaeology or even geology, it's a good experience to see that the outcome isn't normally like this.

Last time I was in Tikal, they hadn't even explored or recorded all of that site yet. You could stand on the top of one of the temples and see other temples in the jungle that had no name. Oh and there are others in Belize and Honduras too, all across Central America, and there are stalls along the sides of the road that sell miniatures of glyphs like the ones these fellers are getting so excited about. Not quite as unexplored as it seems to be, but leave it for a couple of years and the jungle reclaims it again.

One of the greatest archaeological riddles of our time is the quite unknown story of the parallel ruins left by two seemingly unrelated ancient civilizations: the ancient MAYA INDIANS on one side of the Pacific Ocean and the ancient BALINESE on the other. The mysterious and unexplained similarities in their architecture, iconography, and religion are so striking and profound that the Mayans and Balinese seem to have been twin civilizations-as if children of the same parent. Yet, incredibly, this mystery is not only being ignored by American scholars, it’s being suppressed.

I would say that this is as raw as it gets for a TV production. From very early on they admit no one is an expert - and they do bring experts later on. Then we see what could possibly be outtakes in major productions: from the difficulties loading the mules to mundane comments to the footage of one of them getting hit on the face by a branch in a scene that could have been taken from a comedy video. They actually included footage of monkey balls 29:31 lol I've done some trekking in South American jungles and apart from the bad weather it was pretty much the same as I saw here. Loved it! :D

The narrator said, hundreds of miles of jungle. I was under the impression that most of the jungle had been decimated. If anything, the jungle their is new growth, since if it was filled with cities, chunks of it had to be chopped down by various Mayan tribes themselves. Apparently, for thousands of years, we have engaged in degrees of deforestation. We need satellite maps to show "new growth" forests (under 200 years) to get an historical sense of the extent of deforestation in ancient times. Then we can compare it to what has been happening since modern times.

Had mixed feelings watching a man who neither seems to be even slightly into the Maya nor have field archaeology experience at all, leading an expedition into Peten jungle. Serious explorers had dedicated years and years on Site Q enigma and these jolly travellers do not even seem to have had a compass. Davis Stuart's and Richard Hansen's professionalism stands out.

I thought the same. The liverpudlian uni professor was out of his depth. It wasn't his specific field of expertise. He did not speak Spanish and to me seemed more at home behind a desk. He should leave the fieldwork to other's who don't mind getting their hands dirty.

Hey Ed...know why the civilisation disappeared? or where they never there in the first place I wonder. So many temples and Pyramids and Megaliths have the truth written within their design. I decoded the pyramid and know its one true purpose. ... our other star/sun left us to take up a cycle around Jupiter. Ever since the planets cycles around the single Sun have been managed by "others" They have to as the horizontal band of one star drives global Tsunamis..thus we have Atlantis installed. The cycles make certain areas unlivable during certain times of the year and for a 1000 years or so. sus my channel. Atlantis the final straw. Plenty of other vids.

It’s kind of crazy you can still buy and sell the ancient panels that were obviously taken from the area in the 1970’s lol. The provenance obviously definitely doesn’t date back even a century and at some point they became smuggled out. It’s understandable this happened in the past, but the fact these artifacts are still being sold with all we know about where they came from is weird to me. Looted art should be able to be reclaimed even if it’s been resold, because buyers should have done their due diligence and realized it’s stolen and one day could be returned.

I wish I was allowed to go into the jungle with the archaeologists and help with the groundwork, finding and documenting new sites and discoveries but bureaucracy and academia stand in my way. It seems like I’m not free to go to where my ancestors are from to investigate my past and further understand myself. That sort of control feels unnatural and makes me think I’m not supposed to know about my ancestors, these sites, or my heritage. I’m supposed to take what I’m told from academia, white people who have their own heritage and ancient sites that actually dominate ideas and the history in books around the world. It seems convenient not to uncover more about the Yucatán peninsula and the human activity that occurred there because it allows for European and other cultures to pervade people and cultures that had developed their own way, told their own story, and left their own monuments.

These people just make stuff up as they go and because they run around digging up things that they have no right digging up so they can dictate what all these civilizations reality was therefore everything they say is must be recorded as history and anything else is wrong, anyone that cannot tell the difference between what they are making up and what is questionable might want to find something else and I agree we white people want to control everything and make ourselves suppirior to every other civilization and it's down right shameful. your comment is not far from the truth and because they never will I will apologize for all of us . To the archaeologist just because you dig up artifacts and gather up the pieces of ruins and put them wherever they fit or think they fit or how they should go don't mean that you know what every building was for and what they did in these buildings if you expect me to believe that and you're not even from that part of the world I think that you should get archaeologists that actually know the heritage and that are from this area instead of piecing together what you think . Joseph you have more rights to walk through these amazing places than these people and the authorities need to change who they give access and who they don't and you should have say what happens in these places and all others tied to this civilization and teach all who search to know their culture, I hope some day you will be able to walk through and become one with your past , your ancestors and the lands they loved so much take care

Love what ya'll have done here. How many archaeological sites can be imagined hidden in the jungles? I agree partially, with the idea expressed by "Moorish..". Was everything shown Mayan, or can some of it fall into the context of the Olmec? No questions raised. Got to be open for re-interpretation. That is the nature of science.
