La Corona: Is Guatemala Home To A Lost Ancient City? | Quest For The Lost City | Timeline
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...

Back when history channel actually was History and their documentaries mattered.
It’s pretty arrogant to expect poor people, living off the land, to leave things alone so rich people can “enjoy” themselves when they go on an adventure.
It's amazing that there are literally 100's or 1,000's of lost hidden Mayan cities still under the Guatemalan jungle.
They took tons of our gold and try to erase our history but were still here and proud and our riches are beyond materialistic things.
Anyone watching it during lockdown must have noticed the "la corona" city .... COOL !
How to make a short story ; long.
One must wonder how many and what sort of antiquities are in private hands unseen from the rest of the world. There are some people out there with priceless artifacts
Love watching the real Indiana Jones on a Stoney Sunday
Imagine how many hundreds of thousands of people are saddened by this destruction, just because a collector wanted to keep a carved rock in a display cabinet. Not to mention the valuable information we could have learned if everything was left where it was found. Why do we value "I want this" higher than "I want to learn about this"?
I can't believe she let that giant spider crawl on her face
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.
Whatever y'all found there, PUT IT BACK.
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.
Probably the best lockdown documentary ever lol ... thoroughly engrossing, loved every minute of it !
Que bella es mi Guatemala 🇬🇹

When you see movies of Egypt and the opulance...pre Colombian cities were like that as well...beautiful
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.
I just went to Ekbalahm in Mexico which is the city of the Jaguar. Apparently there are more than one city where the king considered himself a Jaguar. This particular king used his fathers sculpted femur bone as his scepter. We also went to Chichean Itza and the ball court there was massive compared to the other sites.
