Documentary on the Maya.

In June 2020, scientists discover Aguada Fénix, a monumental 3,000-year-old Maya structure. Uncover the hidden secrets of Aguada Fénix, the oldest monument built by the ancient Maya civilization, dating back to around 1000 BCE, that challenge everything we knew about the Maya's earliest days. Civilization - 44:03 New architectural and technological evidence unearthed in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula transforms long-held ideas about how the Maya civilization grew into a superpower. Collapse - 01:28:06 Why did the ancient Maya civilization collapse? Many cities were abandoned due to a complex combination of severe droughts, overpopulation, deforestation, and warfare. The exact series of events that lead the ancient Maya to abandon their pyramid-filled cities has long puzzled archaeologists. Now, new investigations in Mexico and Guatemala are exposing surprising evidence about why these great monuments were deserted. Resilience - 02:12:09 Archaeologists unearth new clues about the resurgence of the ancient Maya civilization and the devastating events that would ultimately lead them to abandon their cities for good. Investigations also reveal evidence of extreme resilience in the face of catastrophe. |
