There is something very sad about decedents of the Mayans having to sell their own history to survive.

All to common, I'm afraid. The vast majority, of Cambodian sites, are owned by the Vietnamese. This includes the tragedies, of the mass graves, & genocide museums, from PolPot's despotism.

It'll be nice if these people advocated the return of this treasures to the museums in Guatemala it doesn't make sense that they are kept abroad.

I’ve discussed this in my anthropology class. Between most parties they need to assure: -Safety of the artifact -cultural value from original place. -market value if possible for restitution But like in Greece’s case there are too many looting problems with artifacts returned, so countries are weary of giving it back. That doesn’t make it morally right but it is what it is. I would like for all things to be returned, but I understand preserving history.

I think the country already fail by letting this thief get the hands on this artifact.

They all seemed to hold the focus on the assignment, no one was drifting there didn't seem to be any on air bickering. I'd have brought head nets for the mosquitos, and worn gloves in the jungle just to keep from touching poisonous plants and bug bites. I thought they managed the wet weather in style, the vehicles seemed up to date, top notch jungle travel gear. That's a long way to travel to get a two square inch cut of stone but the success of the job is worth it. If no one's going to say it: Simone's lovely even covered in bug bites and jungle sweat. Her bio online is strong, I look forward to more shows and expeditions produced by her.

So the site names are scannable too?

In the book: "The Chronicles of Akakor" we can find a map of southern America with a network of ancient cities some above and others under the ground. They were connected by roads and tunnels. The area was inhabited by aprox. 350 million people. They lived there at least 20,000 years.

I want to know the knew discovered high ways and road systems they had as well as the new radius of cities with lidar

Idk what it is but a strange feeling has come over from watch a many a documentary. The privilege to be able to have this much information at nearly instant access is something no other human in another age has experienced. That being said, no interpreter? No cultural representative that’s able to speak an actual indigenous language? I understand there is monetary constraints, however; I do believe there is something akin to ‘overstaying your welcome’ to peoples’ history. No one is entitled to hear your story. Especially for no cost. Kindness doesn’t cost anything, and ESPECIALLY having your peoples’ history be as widely known as these people is seeing the reception they are given IN THEIR OWN HOME is honestly astounding. ‘No English?’ Like oh my god have some capacity for critical thinking outside a historical perspective please the era that society is in now has no place for incompetence. 13:40

Where’s a gift exchange? Where’s a food exchange? Value exchange? Commodity exchange? You’re paying the people apart of your entourage but the people who are extending kindness to you by offering FREE information? Even if it’s oral traditions passed down for generations omg? What the fuck. You’re English people trudging on land that have no meaning for YOU, and have the expectation that anyone that’s met will freely and happily exchange with you? Why even go to historical site? What merit is brought from such contact? Is it not better to minimize exposure to the site even despite professional codes of conduct? Of course I haven’t spent years of my life dedicated to archeology and I apologize if I offend anyone it’s just that for the part 2 decades documentaries haven’t changed it feels like. There’s gotta be better ways of doing this. There’s gotta be better ways of letting other people hear the incredible stories of the accomplishment of what we can do. Of course this isn’t that serious. Of course this might be a bit much for a KZread documentary, but when has there ever been a ‘time’ for change except when the innovation occurs. Do better

Richard Hansen is the main "non-mainstream" archaeologist who works in the Pre-Classic site El Mirador, in The Peten region of Guatemala, where it has been discovered that the Pre-Classic Maya started their civilization there around 1,800 - 2,000 BC. Though El Mirador and other surrounding Pre-Classic sites are older by up to a millennia compared to Classic Maya sites like Tikal, Chichen Itza, and Palenque it has been found to have had the largest pyramids and biggest populations of any of the Classic Maya sites. Richard Hansen has been awarded numerous awards in Guatemala and in various US Universities for his many discoveries and contributions in El Mirador Basin.

What they should have done was to each collect a bunch of branches and make a rake and form a line and comb the site area for any foundation then they can dig down underground or even into that hill. The point is this is something nobody did. They are just looking of years of fallen leaves coving the ground and a few inches deep. Visual looking around get you nothing.

Didnt some kid find the lost city recently using the constellations?

So when possibly the ancestors of the myan take something and make money off of it they are called looters but whrn a ehite archeoligist takes something valuable they are not called looters. Just like when an egypitian of thr old would take from tombs rhey are called grabe robbers but when archeoligist take from tombs they are not called grave or tomb robbers amd even worse is they take the remains or mummys as well.
