Where is part 2?

Yo this video is premium. Thank you. I've heard of this site before, and this video not only updated me on whats happening there now today, but you also helped me understand the history more and piece it all together. Also, your editing is REALLY F***ING GOOD. Keep doing that, where you add sourced photos and live map updates. That's what elevates this video to premium status.

The thing with the Mayan and Guatemalan people… they need no one else to survive and thrive.they are a completely self reliant people. I know, my husband is of the culture and kiche people, the prevalent Mayan civilization in his area, thriving still, today.

Thank you for very informative documentary video. I love the way how it is edited. What happened to the Japanese findings?

Very interested in learning the results of the Japanese team using their 'Muan' technology. I had heard of it before when the scientist who created it used it on a volcano, in Japan, to learn the trail of lava and the size of the lava chamber. I believe it could be advantageous to utilize this technique on the emperor's mound in China. Excellent video.

In the late 60s, my mom subscribed to a monthly "magazine" for teenagers. One was on Egypt, one on the Aztecs, the Incas, the Maya. They came with stickers to place on designated places. I was disappointed that the writing hadn't been solved. Then I heard that something, very much like the Rosetta Stone, had been found. All of this is so cool!

I have mixed feelings about the documentary. In some parts, it feels too superficial. The part which I found the least impressive is about deciphering the Maya’s writing sign system. The break through was done by not a group of scholars but a Soviet scientist from Saint Petersburg, Yuri Knorozov. I could guess why his name was not mentioned but it diminishes scientific value of this documentary even more.

It just hit me that our history or how we are known for is told by the leaders/kings and queens. We really need to do better! I hate to think how we are written about down the road.

What puzzles me is that nobody mentions that all of these steps are abnormally LARGE. Very big people would need to be stepping on these stairs. These structures are like huge seating thrones where they would walk up to and sit on and overlook upon everybody and be seen by all from all around. When they spoke from these rock podiums, the whole jungle could hear them speak. But nobody wants to say this for some weird reason. Yes I'm suggesting they're very gigantic people who led or were admired, even if they weren't the leaders. Maybe just occasional visitors who ruled over everybody and made announcements. Maybe they didn't even rule and they only guided on occasion.

I love their culture. They were extremely advanced and far from "savage". They went through the same processes as many cultures in Asia, Africa and Europe. Europe wasn't much more advanced when they found the Mayan, Aztec and Inca. Yes, they had human sacrifice but so did Europeans before they became "civilized". I put civilized in quotations because I don't see people who had slaves and waged war over greed and hatred as civilized. They were savages, whether they believed it or not. And I can hear it now: "but the Indigenous peoples also did this". Yes, they did, but that just proves that Europeans weren't better than any of those around them even if they were ignorant enough to think so. The people of the Americas weren't around the cultures across the sea. The people in Asia and Europe had each other to help advance and they partially advanced together. But you cannot say that Europeans were the only advanced ones and they helped everyone. Far from it. Europeans benefited from much knowledge from Asia, Africa, and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and other continents. Also, Europe didn't help much. Many Asian cultures advanced farther than Europeans without any assistance from Europeans. Many African cultures and American cultures were far more advanced in many things as well.

What stands out most in this series is that not one single Mayan was consulted in this entire two year excavation. The Mayans are not all gone. Mayan is still a spoken language in parts of Mexico and central America. I traveled with a Mayan shaman to all of the sites in the Yucatan peninsula and listened to his teachings, passed down to him for generations. He had a lot to say about the western interpretation of their culture. Most of these interpretations, he said, are wrong. You'd think archaeology would have decolonized itself by now.

Neither of them could read the inscriptions (my last visit was 2006) and both told me that the ability to read those inscriptions was lost to time. They did share much of their culture with me, but it was significantly different than their ancestors, whose lives they did not know in detail.

I’m not so sure about the part of not having the wheel. Any monkey could of learned that round stones, and logs, roll. Just by watching gravity shit roll down a hill. I don’t know why people think it’s impossible for ancients to carve a wheel. Look at some of their wheel shaped jade earrings. I know for a fact the ancient Egyptians had chariots. A chariot is basically a trailer. And they had beast of burden, like domesticated horses, and oxen. To pull a “chariot”-“trailer” loaded down with stone. In Peru they uncovered a little carved lama, or alpaca, on 4 wheels. It was a ancient toy. That a kid can pull around on a string.

The Greek civilization was ruled by one Emperor in an Empire that was divided up into City states the city states was controlled by the Senate's who was controlled my the Emperor. On the other hand the ancient Mayan civilization was controlled kings in each kingdom whom they had complete control over their kingdom and if they felt the need they would build allies with neighboring kingdoms or choose to go to war with them but it is very important to make note that they all thrived for so long for the fact each king respected each other and understood what was needed to care for their kingdom at aa great level of intelligence that is rarely exhibited in today's society
