The Maya - their soaring pyramids, monumental cities and mythical mastery of astronomy and mathematics have captured our imaginations and spurred generations of explorers into the jungles of Central America on a quest to understand them. Lost World of the Maya surveys their dramatic rise to prominence in the 'pre-classic era' of the Maya as well as new evidence of the collapse of their civilization in the 800-900's AD.

Mayan civilization much bigger than anticipated. David Stuart, Linda Schele, Richard Aurcia and Bill Fash were my first guides (authors and archeologists) to the Mayan World. American History did not began with Columbus in 1492...it began with the first Mayan king writing his name in stone 300 BC.

@Right_Stuffsc 3 года назад

This is for sure ! Mayan civilization was very rich and talented. The Mayan stories seem to be the right due to the extreme drought they left this place. The Big question is .. where are the direct descendent of Maya Civilization? are they present world people of Brazil.

@drmartinezserna 3 года назад

It looks good, but a few minutes into it, and already an egregious mistake has been repeated several times: the Maya never lived even close to the Amazon, the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala are very different environment from the Amazon River Basin.... its lowlands and highlands with limestone soils and very few rivers nowhere close to the riperian environment of the Amazon..., yes, tropical rainforests, but a really atrocious mistake that escaped several editors, both in print and video. I am trying not to be too harsh, but it really is an appalling mistake. It's as if all Latin American rainforests was the same. Really atrocious mistake.

Few years back Arab was just few people moving from one place to another, invaded by ethiopian every now and then. when they went to deliver the prophecy to Roman King who was powerful at the time after beating Persians, he laughed and said that he was given them food and they were killing each other and they were worthless and now claim they have prophecy. and the rest is history, they destroyed both, Persians and Romans...

@Fernando-cq3vt 3 года назад

I was born in Guatemala City and grew up in a modern subdivision called Utatlan (Mayan for “Place of old reeds”) in the outskirts of the city. When I was about ten my best friend and I would walk half a mile to where they were building another subdivision called KAMINALJUYU ("Place of the Ancestors") where they were finding Mayan Mounds, but sadly doing nothing to preserve them. While we Played we would find pieces of pottery and broken clay pieces of figurines mostly in the ditches around the burial mounds. (So vivid in my mind now, after 56 years). This Pre-Columbian site of the Maya civilization was largely swallowed up by real estate development and today only a few mounds, artifacts and pyramids are preserved at a small Archaeological park/museum near where I played as a 10 year old kid.

"It's location is being kept a closely guarded secret for fear of Looters" then, 5 seconds later (at 8:57) they show a map with Lat/Long identified and point to their position. But, you know, it's a closely guarded secret.

Funny how the lady explained the jaguar as of underworld because it has mark on belly and is skinny. It could be the painter was running out of paint and had to shrink down the portions and his buddy was not shinning the light properly resulting in .mark on belly .

As in any archeological find, there is an enormous amount of "we believe, suggest, think, can imagine, or seems like," goes on with these finds. The truth is, we have no idea how life was lived back then or how business was conducted...only what we "think" happened. How the Mayans lived is and will always be a mystery to us. Just too much speculation for me.
