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.

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.

There were a lot of things people today do not know and understand. I love this documentary. This is what I am always looking for.

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.

Not true. Africa gave the world Gold and Chocolate. Ghana actually used to be called GOLD COAST because there was so much gold there. Ghana was called GOLD COAST until 1957. Even till this day, Ghana still has gold fields and is tied with Ivory Coast for Cocao production. The Cocao used to make the chocolate you eat has a high chance of coming from Ghana or Ivory Coast (neighboring countries). A lot of the so called "swiss chocolate" and "Belgian chocolate" is actually made with imported cocoa beans from Ghana or Ivory Coast. This is factual history you can look up. A lot of the gold fixtures in Buckingham Palace in London surrounding Queen Elizabeth comes from Ghana and Africa. Most of the Royal palaces in Europe are filled with Gold that came from Africa....I'm not discrediting the Maya but when you talk about CROPS, GOLD and DIAMONDS, Africa has always been #1. The biggest diamond ever discovered in this world (CULLINAN) was found in Africa in 1905. The Mayans gave something much more important than Gold and Chocolate. The Mayans gave us Calendar systems and method of counting days, years, time, and Astronomy. Ancient Mayans are spiritual cousins to the ancient Egyptians. I know many of you have been brainwashed into thinking Africa is worthless but please do your research....The oldest Universities in the world are actually in Africa as well....Africa is not just the cradle of humanity but also the cradle of education as well.

This is the types of videos that need to be coming out always.

I think it would've been impressive if the archeologist (15:55) had said the name of the worker that lifted the stone and "who happened to, at the last second, before they threw it away, flipped it over". I know it just doesn't happen and MAY be beside the point, but I like for the workers that actually find important things and bring them to the pro's' attention to receive more credit.

A MAJOR PROBLEM in archaeology is that when the Archaeo is not the one doing the manual labor, they will rarely (if ever) credit those that did the actual digging.

@@Howdygirl11 Because history is significant and to a lot of people it's even considered sacred, and people also deserve to know about their ancestry as well as achievements of said ancestry, but in regards to all of humanity, learning about past civilization and culture is also enlightening and expands our knowledge of society, people, and ways of living, functioning, and problem solving. But also, sacred doesn't necessarily mean untouchable, and if things considered sacred are abandoned and forgotten, then are they even sacred anymore? Something to be reverenced and devoted left forgotten and abandoned, how could it remain sacred if it's erased?

Exactly what I was thinking, this is fricken by Mexico City. Teotihuacan had elements of different cultures (including Maya), but they could have been Totonac, rivals of the Aztec.

What blows my mind is that people acknowledge the Egyptians, Mayans, people from devloping nations and areas had boats and resources for travel, but it doesnt seem like its as widely accepted thr ancient people traveled and lived amongst eachother as we do today, in their own way. The more these dates become hoened into a more accurate scientific time frame, the harder it becomes to doubt evidence of extremely advanced ancient civilizations.

Congratulations! You've uncovered the Mayan version of ''Bevery Hills''! Seriously, the marvelous aspect of these ancient cultures is just how advanced and civilized they are. Especially the architecture and art. I believe our modern world may be far more ignorant about them, than they were about their world.
