I am not an archeologist, by profession I am an electrical engineer, yet I find the work of the archeologists digging Maya sites as immensely interesting to find out their way of life and their death. The story of Naachtun and the death of Tikal was so absorbing. The dedication shown by the archeologists in finding out the truth will be a guide to the future of archeology. The life and works of the Mayans corroborate to the celebration of life on earth and what enjoyment they show.
A massive 20 year drought in Egypt,Nile River was a babbling brook,Recoded in a Scribes house.This drought would have caused many civilizations to collapse all over.
Our culture should take measure of what happened to the Maya. Deforestation, drought, climate change, political divisions, and warfare all can lead to the downfall of a civilization. Sustainability is crucial.
Are there speculations from where the builders of these cities originated / migrated from? Thank you for this interesting documentary. Cheers from Seattle!
I remember wanting to study archeology. Then in HS, I watched them pull out artifacts and have to get them to storage over very uneven ground. After that, I knew I was not cut out for that work. The first tree root I came to I would fall on my face and shatter a priceless artifact. Such a shame I have crappy proprioception 😂. My heart really would have loved it.
I’m curious how they know that putting a hole in the middle of a platter is de-animating the platter and not making it into a colander or funnel. 16:02
I'm relieved SLICE isn't using _that_ AI-generated voice. The one with the nasal snarl which is too widely used. So much so that I'd just move on instead of watching. Even if the title sounds interesting. That's how much I loath _that_ AI voice!
I hope to retire to Mexico or the small countries that have these ruins. I also hope to work for some archeologist who’s trying to uncover a new site. Archeology is my new interest. I just hope I’m not too late to uncover an ancient ruler.
I have a question, we are told tropical jungle soils are thin and barren, when the vegetation is cut down, they become sterile and useless yet the Mayan sites are wildly overgrown seems contadictory, shouldnt they be desert-like?
I know that in the Amazon basin they have Terra Preta its an amazing dirt it's man made and to this day we don't know how it's made. I'm not sure if the Maya had it but if they did that would definitely answer your question. If you never heard of it I highly suggest you looking into it.
Too fast. They would lose their jobs in few years. I don't understand why this much work just to understand the past. I think we should use all the effort to the future of the mankind.
@jay10242 ...so do you suppose modern society sprung up unaided in a vacuum? Culture and society are developed over long periods of time, and everything builds on the proverbial 'what came before'.
They always say Teotihuacán, but they still are nameless. The Mexica gave the city its name much later. Just who does the stone describe and who marched 1000 km to do the conquering? "Place of Cattails," (equivalent to Nahuatl Tollan)
hey Maxcrow, there is a YT on that conquest. found this tho: Siyah K’ak' led a Teotihuacan invasion that defeated the native Tikal king, who was captured and immediately executed.
I can imagine the last residents leaving to the modern towns and were there was jobs another way of life they called us savages but we had a life that people today want to live off grid eating what we hunt what a cultivated everything natural connected with nature with the stars the rivers respecting nature and living along side nature we were more advance they were the savages
when your expert starts saying things like "perhaps even", they should stop. they are not there to speculate as such; we're getting a single person's opinion as "data", so it's quite wrong of the 'expert'
You realize they have to speculate because they have no way of knowing for certain. There will be things that they can deduce from knowledge of other sites, but if something is different about this system, there’s no way to know for sure.
It's been my theory for years now that deforestation was the Mayan downfall. Still even after hearing the thoughts of that brilliant young lady I believe her. But I still think they took too much.
Pyra-fire, mid-middle. The original structures were high pressure, high temp containments producing acids for heavy metals extraction and refinement? Modern scientific publications say yes. My research supports date of construction of the Nile Complex at ca 14 ka.
Absolutamente un misterio todas las culturas antiguas y la Maya no es una excepción... el problema está en que la arqueología "oficial" no tiene ni puta idea de nada y solo con algunos complejos arquitectónicos que están en pie y algunas pinturas y petrograbados inventan una historieta gigantesca. Sino dense cuenta como siempre dicen los mismos conceptos no importando la cultura que sea del planeta.
El mirador means the lookout, no need to use modern day spanish language because it s not native anywhere, and is a lack of respect for the locals and natives, same with names like san francisco o los angeles( original names are SANT FRANCESC AND ELS ANGELS
I would like to know if there was deforestation caused by middle ages ship building or roman Pheonecian ship buildingthat ledto a decrease in rainfall world wide, I wonder about the american west deserts possibly expanding due to that drought
I loved this newest Mayan City unvieled of its secrets I would if i may toss in an hypotheis on way the layouts of the original buildings in each city sight. These earlier arrivarls Masters of thier envoriments had senses few of us use to feel the lay lines in the land and the power nodes I have proposed this to serveral thinking Archeologists who prefer this to the current hoge poge of competing ideas some of which are far flung
Why are they touching skeletons with ungloved hands? This can't be real archaeologists because trained professionals would know better. They're polluting the evidence.
mysteries for 'architects' to solve? just more of the same every building is a temple. becomes running in circles spending millions of dollars for the same ole.
At 38:28 the Shahman holding the Jaguar has a little beard going on lol to me that is weird because the Indigenous peoples didn't have Facial Hair or so that is what I have always heard. You got the whole thing with the Bearded gods that taught the indigenous people of all the America's from Mexico to peru. So shouldn't it be an anomaly??
@@PeterChamor4 I said it's an anomaly I didn't say anything about rewriting history lol I truly hope the rest of your day gets better and you see things a little more positive. Being negative takes to much energy. It's just a comment something I noticed it's truly no big deal.
Not an anomaly. Looks like an asian beard. The very same Moctezuma is described as having a small beard, definitely not as thick as the europeans, but prove that indians had facial hair; not much, but others were hairless. Pubic hair was also very scarce, or completely absent. You have to see the beard in some chinese men, with long, strait, but sparse beard nonetheless. That is a characteristic found in mongoloid peoples in asia.
Yes loved this .i am a scientist but in medical and health field but started out in biology and environmental studies. I figured it must have been climate change that got them mostly because of their own foolish use of the environmental riches. Funny ( not so funny) thing is it is exactly what our current society is guilty of. Humans are animals after all and not so great at seeing their own errors. We are very guilty of cutting down all the old growth forests of oak willow pine fir and redwood etc without thinking about what gifts the forests give the soil rivers etc that make our farmlands rich. Of course that provides our large ( too large) populations to eat and survive. All our changes are now causing climate change. And we have less farmlands so pour chemicals on the land to try to get more yields on less land and end up depleting the soil and contaminating the water and ocean. I'm old but pray people wise up and start living more sustainably for the sake of ourselves and the natural environment
Our dear Archeologists and anthropologist, early civilization was built not by warlords but by peace loving people of extreme wisdom. Warlords came after it was built and flourished. Came when the civilized order was disrupted, giving rise to disordered and brutality. All ended like that, brutality after civilized. Disruption? Catastrophe of biblical proportion of extraterrestrial origin. Example? Comets fly by earth littered debris burying animals people and cities. Open up opportunities to survival the fittest, war lords. Guess why all archeological finding are covered under debris? and further by vegetations grown on comet debris? Warring civilization has only one ending. Example? The Mayan civilization.
Comment: Recording and mapping, not taking things or disturbing. If you had lot of memory, cell phones with GPS, precision compass and lidar could stitch together what the humans see. And keep it in a measured 3D and time framework. No matter the trees, or paths taken. When I see you doing hand work, and disturbing things, I think "they could be using more precise subsurface 3D imaging now". I am sure everyone wanted to take home samples, but .... recordings could last forever. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation

Imagine creating a building without a wheelbarrow and shovel.
I'd happily spend the rest of my life traipsing through the jungles of Meso-America to find these sites. My God, what an adventure!
Make it happen!
I would like that too.
I have many artifacts from Mexico and the American Southwest
Do not misuse God's Name
@@SLjansvrensb. it's your god, not ours. we do what we want, just like you do. see? we're equals!
Please keep making world class documentaries.Thank you from California.
A wonderful historical coverage documentary about Maya civilization Naachtun city inside the heart of jangle...thanks for sharing
Yes, please continue to create these documentaries. They are both fascinating & enlightening.
Very interesting. Would love to see more of the artifacts and learn more about them.
Completely agree I would love to see more on the artifacts actually I would love to see all the artifacts from this site and many more
A massive 20 year drought in Egypt,Nile River was a babbling brook,Recoded in a Scribes house.This drought would have caused many civilizations to collapse all over.
Plus They Didn't Have Joseph to guide them through tough times !!

I completely agree -- great, insightful comment.
Great work! Thanks for sharing
Thank you !

Lied to? Lol. Dirt with added broken down vegetation is usually very fertile.
I don't understand why they don't just use lidar

@jay10242 You'll never get where you're going if you don't know where you've been.
@@Alanaml6182 we know enough. There is no reason go to hunter gathering times. What ancient civilization has gave to modern society?
probably because its expensive beyond belief

Let’s keep AI out of music, books, films…. In fact, couldn’t we sort of forget about AI entirely?

He keeps calling the archaeologists “architects.” As an architect, I can tell you we never go on excavations in the jungle. Might be fun, though.

Why don't they use chainsaws?
Too loud
Human labour is cheaper than gas …
I kept shouting lidar!! Why not?
Interesting that whenever we regard ancient civilizations belief patterns or systems of thought we refer to it as “cult “….
why only 60 days of exploring?
Rain/hurricane s.😮
Lidar should have been used 1st
Guess work under sweating conditions makes for tall tail😮s
Ahgtun Germans. We are real.
Never heard of LIDAR?
So, why did they only have 60 days to do this? Monsoons?
3 families could create large variety offspring
2:15 Did you mean archeologists and not architects?

It's central America. They do things with more ignorance down here. Not that northern Americans aren't ignorant, just to be fair. Good point.
These are French archaeologists. Are they being sloppy? LOL
They can't all be comment section know-it-alls. They're too busy actually working.
Its been in the actual dirt and elements i think itll be fine lol
THE LAST KNOWN WORDS FROM THE MAYANS BEFORE THEY LEFT THE AREA WERE BELIEVED TO BE ( AND I QUOTE ) " KISS MAYA ASS " . 😂 🤣 😂
