Rise of the SNAKE DYNASTY in the Yucatan | The Ruins of Dzibanche and Kohunlich
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 апр 2020
- Venturing into Quintana Roo, David and Cassie visit the ruins of two fascinating cities of Early Classic Period, Kohunlich and Dzibanche. These Maya sites were among the first to dominate the region. In this video, Dr. Miano will provide valuable information on the origins of the Snake or Kan Dynasty, probably the most famous of all ruling powers in ancient Mexico. Also discussed are the importance of Maya emblem glyphs and the practice of bloodletting.
We hope you enjoy watching this #antiquitiestravelguide about #Dzibanche and Kohunlich as much as we enjoyed making it.

Dear Professor Miano, your work is extraordinary, I specially enjoyed the pictures of what was found and in which museum you can observe the piece. Your work is timeless and quite important for humanity. So thank you fot it! :D
Many thanks for watching!
It's fascinating to have a community based on walking instead of wagons or road-reliant commuting. I wonder if there is meant to be things under the houses, or are they just single floor raised houses
I'm not sure if they buried anything under their homes. I will have to check into that.
it's nice to see you as a sort of tour guide rather than debunking
Thank you for sharing your discoveries with us.
Awesomeness... Great stuff. Absolutely fascinated by the questions of why? When? The origins of cultures etc. Thank You guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know why, but the name DZIBANCHE rings some sort of strange resonance in me. It has a kind of euphonious sound to it, like the word "elbow". It seems incredible to me that prices are so cheap. Even in NZ dollars, the prices you show are very affordable indeed ... super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Thank you to you, David, and to Cassie also, for showing us this fascinating part of the globe. I wish our early Maori settlers had hewn and crafted stone monuments and cities. Then there would be actual movies of NZ's lost culture - instead of the brilliant fakery undertaken by Peter Jackson in his documentary: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgotten_Silver
Everyone was sucked in for just a little while. :)
Great job David and Cassie, great videos, great input. Thanks again.
Nice vid. Thank for that.
You bet!
Love Kohunlich! What a different looking ruin for the area! The palms behind the name make it look like something from Jurassic Park. Lots of archaeological sites down that way.
Went to Dzibanche 3-4 years ago. Morocoy was a pretty little village. I took some photos there. When done at Dzibanche I drove to Kichna. The wife party pooped me and would not let me climb the temple. She had enough.... of watching me.say I did notice that the land, pastures around Dzibanche had these mounds scattered around. I am sure they are buried ruins outside of the central complex.
It was here I learned that oranges grown here are not sweet. So many just laying on the ground.
Aw, yeah, I bet there are some treasures under there!
Great video. Thank you.
Fascinating, thank you.
Love these too! Don’t forget these video style. I want to go back to see Maya architecture again!
Imalmost caught up on all videos! I can't believe how much ive learned in such a short time!
Incredible
I am so glad to discover you! Your videos are fascinating and well done. I would love to go explore these places. I think Mexico is too dangerous though.
"Two royal burials were discovered... No one we know" hahaha that's a relief... Also somewhat sad.
I love your videos ! I would love it if you one day made a trip to El Salvador !
Question. You mentioned a ritual to indue a trance. Is there any historical evidence of the use of ayahuasca or other psychedelics? Great content! Thank you for sharing!
I believe that evidence of ayahuasca use was found in Bolivia and carbon dated to around 1000 CE. As far as I know, that is the only evidence. The remains of psychedelics have not been found elsewhere in the Maya world. But it certainly is possible.
Are all the steps and levels and tiny corridors etc. part of the typical Mayan lifestyle? Or are these like visiting Washington DC?
It would be like visiting a big city.
chuck miano Perhaps they just wanted to be Level headed and take life one Step at a time. Or since they are not using the same society format as Western society has today, they had a short view of life (especially with all the blood rituals) and just needed raised houses to see their domain as well as potential raiders coming over the horizon.
Were these structures covered in plaster? And if so, were they painted? It looks like remnants of plaster at 10:28.
Yes, in some areas they plastered the walls, but in other areas not. It depends on what styles were popular in certain regions and in different periods. We see remnants of red paint often on the structures. But not a whole array of colors.
In"the stairs of the captives" I don't think they are the
names of captured soldiers, that's unheard of..Knowing the long history of the Snake Dynasty and gods-given
right to rule the mayan world, I won't be surprise if the
names are of kings and their royal families
It explicitly says they are captives. They are even depicted tied up.
Cassie !
I think we can guess who your favorite is. 🙂 She's great, isn't she?
It's too bad for Copan's hieroglyphic stairway was: built shabby, overgrown w/ trees (seeds dropped to feed Quetzal birds ie "Reiply's Believe It Or Not") & the reconstruction scrambled the glyphs.
Who is Cassie Thompson?
{:-:-:}
Aren’t you that guy from Night at the Museum? Lol
If you are shooting video for a monetized youtube channel, isn't that a "commercial" video shoot?
Yes, but I wasn't making money on the channel at the time I shot this.
@@WorldofAntiquity I suspect they wouldn't have hassled you as much if you were dressed more like a "typical" tourist (jeans, T-shirt, hiking boots).
