Everything

Mayan civilization much bigger than anticipated. David Stuart, Linda Schele, Richard Aurcia and Bill Fash were my first guides (authors and archeologists) to the Mayan World. American History did not began with Columbus in 1492...it began with the first Mayan king writing his name in stone 300 BC.

This is for sure ! Mayan civilization was very rich and talented. The Mayan stories seem to be the right due to the extreme drought they left this place. The Big question is .. where are the direct descendent of Maya Civilization? are they present world people of Brazil.

That you're ccalling this area the Amazon! Does nobody educated check these videos?

It looks good, but a few minutes into it, and already an egregious mistake has been repeated several times: the Maya never lived even close to the Amazon, the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala are very different environment from the Amazon River Basin.... its lowlands and highlands with limestone soils and very few rivers nowhere close to the riperian environment of the Amazon..., yes, tropical rainforests, but a really atrocious mistake that escaped several editors, both in print and video. I am trying not to be too harsh, but it really is an appalling mistake. It's as if all Latin American rainforests was the same. Really atrocious mistake.

Fkn same lmao 😂

Yeah buddy!!!!

i’ve just had an epiphany that when i need to sleep i should just watch national geographic docs 🤩

Snap...only its 3:51am

Nooooo cap 😭

It cost our PRIVACY.. ALSO roughly 6 minutes of commercials.. so def not free

except when supposed Experts say things like A Artifact rather than An Artifact. I mean I'm not taking anything these clowns say as fact when they can't even use vowels correctly lol

@@thisthat283 why you so negative ?

Before the first 45 seconds - the first error ... Sun stone of the Aztecs in a documentary 'bout the Mayan ...

@@bradmadeira6807 definitely is free cause last time I checked I just watched it for free an didn’t pay a penny today.

there will always be an ancient world. those people didn't even thought thier civilization could come to an end, given how powerful they were, but it did came to an end, just like everything else. Few years back Arab was just few people moving from one place to another, invaded by ethiopian every now and then. when they went to deliver the prophecy to Roman King who was powerful at the time after beating Persians, he laughed and said that he was given them food and they were killing each other and they were worthless and now claim they have prophecy. and the rest is history, they destroyed both, Persians and Romans...

@@sudanfunny It’s pointless to write an entire paragraph on something like that. He was just saying how fascinating it is.

And those we have destroyed. Some of our ancestors really sucked for destroying such wonderful civilization

Right. One thing I think of a lot are the cultures that were so close to the western world yet are lost - like the Etruscans. Apparently, to this day we can't decode their language and writings

True.

Underground, you mean buried under sand right ?

@@edwardfletcher7790 sand. Mud. Earth period. And yes the oceans. From what I've researched it appears we've had many resets on this planet over hundreds of thousands of years if not millions from natural disasters etc. If I had the money I'd lydar the whole planet to find everything. I'm sure some have. But knowledge is power and rulers never want peasants to have much of that

Wdym imagine there is ffs smh🤦‍♂️

@@skyxtrap8949 that's why they *asked* how many -.-

I imagine there are 2 of them or more, maybe.

It's incredible. Those weren't Jungles, it was their orchards, they made Terra-dirt.

massive the Maya civilization really was, disliked by the Spaniards for being more rich culture than their, that's why Europeans destroyed all.

@@MatrixMachine that's an opinion. But not the truth. I know modern day liberal fascist schools teach that but they also say fluoride is okay

There where also possible sites in south florida as well connected to maya

Agreed

absolutely:'

we did, we gave the all covid and thats why they're gone this is a joke i'm not a flat earther

Absolutely

it is look like really really beautiful viewer for photo shoot 😀😆😍😍

You would probably end up a Slave

Even maya is older than your relegion brother 😂

@@Adigitalboy yes of course. Islam is 1500 years old only. But the history of some other prophets that mentioned in Quran are probably older than Maya.

@@akudandia28 I meant before the name was not Islam I guess.

Yes, it would also be nice to see a documentary on the breeds of snakes that destroyed all of the Myan's beautiful pottery. Now, what's really amazing, is that person who had to COUNT all of those rocks for us ? and that Guatemalans with this great Ancient History actually want to walk their families through riverbeds, just to reach the lovely state of Texas? Makes no sense...or, cents?

I hope your comment goes viral LOL

😂😂😂

There's a difference between light soot and heavy deposits. And in this case, they came up with that theory based on the contents of the burnt soot. But this is a TV documentary, dumbed down, for people such as yourself.

+1 to the Thank you'd. Just watched with my 6 year old. She was fascinated!

Was about to post exactly the same thing - sensationalistic claptrap. Just give us the facts and show more detail for those who are genuinely interested rather than stringing it out with unnecessarily dramatic narrative and music. What should have taken 10 minutes has led to me growing stubble! Sheesh . . .

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's television programming for ya!

Gotta love national geo. They got to up the mystery and suspense for subs. Watching banged up abroad I almost want to get banged up abroad sometimes

Was about to say - - - but then again it's just another designed alternative reality show. Mayans warned us of the Truth to come in 2012 little do we know this year was NOT the Gregorian calendar, but rather the mayan and Ethiopian. Now everything they say is coming to effect in the ending of 2012(2020) we all should look out for the buzzer weathers, Earthquake, Volcanoes and all the storms about to come in the presiding year!!

@@ethiop2007 the mayans refer to an end of an epoch/time cycle of some 5000 odd years culminating at the winter solstice, rather than any total destruction of the world. Ie meaning the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. There certainly appear to be a lot of changes at the moment and our current world looks like it's going down the drain, which isn't a bad thing. Some u comfortable readjustment, but hopefully better times for humanity are to come, in what form we don't quite know

Same

@Kliedo Scope what? Why?

Varun Kumavat correct 🙏🏻

Actually,the Mayans were conquered in 1524 by the DeAlvarado brothers under the leadership of Hernan Cortes. Mexico was hit first and then the Mayans down into Guatemala.

@Andrew The Olmecs are the forerunners of the Mesoamerican civilizations. Giant carved heads found in LaVenta area of Mexico.

yes is beautiful and I think there was a flower next to it also, meaning respect life, the bird and flower go together/need each other.

hmmm tec erras, cant edit. I think yes it is beautiful and well made art. The parrot had a flower next to the parrot, meaning respect life because the parrot and flower need each other/rely on each other for survival and wellbeing.

I thought exactly the same. It looks like a stencil marking for sure

The parrot looked 3 dimensional. It’s head was in a 3/4 profile and it’s body in a side profile.

As in any archeological find, there is an enormous amount of "we believe, suggest, think, can imagine, or seems like," goes on with these finds. The truth is, we have no idea how life was lived back then or how business was conducted...only what we "think" happened. How the Mayans lived is and will always be a mystery to us. Just too much speculation for me.

?

Who isn't willing to admit that

@@JonAaadirtbike they’re called content bots. They rather stay closed minded and wait on a vision to be told from the tele 😂 with no self common sense,

I think he’s referring to the main stream archeologist and scholars. They tend not to budge on old ideas even when presented with new evidence. For a long time archeologists were afraid to present new ideas on the fear of being labeled wrong and essentially ending their careers.

Tikal was nice I agree

My favorite small site is El Pilar, only lightly excavated... "El Pilar is an ancient Maya city center located on the Belize-Guatemala border. The site is located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of San Ignacio, Belize and can be accessed through the San Ignacio and Bullet Tree Falls on the Belize River."

I am visiting this year! Going there tomorrow!

I believe Tikal looks best due to the fact it’s more green with a luscious area. And limited tourist is a plus.

thank you. truth matters❤️❤️

Yep

This video is full with that kind of stereotypes

They also showed a clip of Teotihuacan when talking about the Maya. Though it was cosmopolitan with different cultures, Teotihuacanos were more than likely the predecessors of the Totonac.

What about when they show the Aztec calendar at the beginning 0:38

They are not actually Aztec ruins. Is a different civilization. They were many.

@@jazzskeet8738 that’s where you’re wrong bucko.

Exactly what I was thinking, this is fricken by Mexico City. Teotihuacan had elements of different cultures (including Maya), but they could have been Totonac, rivals of the Aztec.

​@@mrquelowhat274 😂😂 NOT

Chewy gum also

Not true. Africa gave the world Gold and Chocolate. Ghana actually used to be called GOLD COAST because there was so much gold there. Ghana was called GOLD COAST until 1957. Even till this day, Ghana still has gold fields and is tied with Ivory Coast for Cocao production. The Cocao used to make the chocolate you eat has a high chance of coming from Ghana or Ivory Coast (neighboring countries). A lot of the so called "swiss chocolate" and "Belgian chocolate" is actually made with imported cocoa beans from Ghana or Ivory Coast. This is factual history you can look up. A lot of the gold fixtures in Buckingham Palace in London surrounding Queen Elizabeth comes from Ghana and Africa. Most of the Royal palaces in Europe are filled with Gold that came from Africa....I'm not discrediting the Maya but when you talk about CROPS, GOLD and DIAMONDS, Africa has always been #1. The biggest diamond ever discovered in this world (CULLINAN) was found in Africa in 1905. The Mayans gave something much more important than Gold and Chocolate. The Mayans gave us Calendar systems and method of counting days, years, time, and Astronomy. Ancient Mayans are spiritual cousins to the ancient Egyptians. I know many of you have been brainwashed into thinking Africa is worthless but please do your research....The oldest Universities in the world are actually in Africa as well....Africa is not just the cradle of humanity but also the cradle of education as well.

not really chocholate was not only there, even less gold

And corn too
