I remember catching this documentary on television just after I had watched the VHS of The Road To El Dorado my Grandparents got me for my birthday one year. It's so wonderful to see this again.

Dude I'm the first view and comment here. I just took a big ol dab. I'm in bed about to nap and watch some history channel. Life is great.

This ancient culture was amazing! Too even understand how they built these places with their hands are amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Hilarious how confident he is, "finally I've made it!." Good show none the less but funny

[techteampxla]

I wish some one would do a documentary on Prof Ian Xel Lungolds teaching of the Mayan calendar. Thanks for this great video and the dedication to the people who worked on the crew to make this documentary ❤

[nataliereedy]

You have a brave camera crew! Here's to them! ❤

[michaelcomisse]

Good to see some newer stuff that's actually about history

[DonaHERNDON]

Josh Bernstein, you are my favorite explorer.

"This is the river Pacal thought he would travel down when he died"? That's a preposterously literal, physicalistic interpretation. Why would he think that rather than, as the one archaeologist said, of a river in the spirit world? And how do you know what he thought? Apart from that, an enjoyable show. Thanks!

Very nice. I like the natural pyramids, somewhat, maybe, were they not present in a desert 2k years before, but I can clearly imagine a few brave mayan warriors descending the same senotes, and rapids, with their best canoos and breathing ciprests, just to boldly go where no one had gone before. I wonder if they found jade, maybe dino bones, deposited there. GREAT stuff VERY apreciated.

So, with no equipment to dive, how did the Maya know about the halocline?

[gfalk]

Wow Amazing! But simple stone tools? No.

[Marauder]

you would think with as much as he does investigation's HE WOULD BRING OR CARRY A GOOD FLASHLIGHT !!!

Pakal's way to afterlife is patterned from Egypt's Way of the Dead

[DavidSampsel-lq]

The amount of ignorant people that slept through social studies is clear as day 🤦🏻 .. pathetically sad

[doedoebirds]

I think you should get your own ID since you are not Indiana Jones.

[cryptonitor]

You should have more of Professor Arthur A. Demarest. You said yourself he knows more than anyone; and he was sharing that knowledge... Wtf

[Bro-fh]

Someone has the poopies in the sacred mountain cave

[cloveetabertram]

I tried to watch this, couldn't finish it. Kept crying for the children sacrificed.
