The Mystery of the Maya

2,000 years ago, the Mayans were at the forefront of civilizations. They were the first pre-Columbian culture in America to develop a calendar and writing, and they also built some of the most amazing monuments on the continent. After more than a millennium of prosperity, why did this civilization decline and abandon those imposing buildings? In this episode, Michael travels from the highlands of Guatemala to the jungles of Belize to uncover the mystery of the disappearance of the Mayan culture. We accompany him on his journey through ancient cities like Tikal or Aguateca, where Michael will look for clues in a recently discovered pyramid. In addition, we will have the great opportunity to see what a Mayan community is like today through our host, who will observe and experience amazing traditions that have not yet been broadcast on television.
