To set things strait, there is epigraphic and underwater archaeological evidence for human sacrifice . All you have to do is actually put effort into researching the material concerning the ancient Maya. As an undergraduate student who plans on continuing into a Master's program, I can assure you that there is proof.
I think the Mayan civilization does indeed rival ancient Egypt, and perhaps even surpases it in terms of achievements in astronomy and related disciplines. But I think the Maya remain a relatively obscure civilization, partly because greater resources have been dedicated to studiying other ancient civs like Ancient Egypt. Also the Maya did't have contact with other major civs that kept records that we can refference, like we can with Rome, Greece & Egypt for example.
I was only 10 years old when I had first suddenly become incredibly Fascinated with the Ancient Maya Peoples Of Mexico🇲🇽 and where after having watched an Interesting Documentary on KQED Which was Called “Secrets Of The Maya” And Which was all about a Number Of Excavations Inside And Out Of Their Ancient Pyramids and searching for whatever Ancient Artifacts of theirs are still remaining Lost in The Sands Of Time And Also perhaps Yet to be Discovered !!!!!!!! 😉😉😉😉😉🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Yes, because trying to document the culture and help uncover many buried sites now swallowed by the forest is very similar to slaughtering and destroying much of the ancient meso-american culture all in the name of Christ. We posses the same limited view because much of the culture has been lost (hence why many people are attempting to decipher and learn more).
yea no there is plenty of evidence ranging from their own writings to statues and paintings. the Human being was extremely important in Mesoamerican culture as they lacked any other large pack animal (just as the Bull was important to Mediterranean culture) and as such offering a human was the ultimate show of reverence for life and thanking the gods.
+Veronica Love First search the mesoamerican chronology in wikipedia to understand how it works and how historians divide the periods of mesoamerican history. They know that the Maya (the maya people) have lived in that region of central america and yucatan for thousands of years, what they explain in this documentary is that in erlier historiography, historians though that the Maya (though they lived there for centuries) began building a complex civilization till the period called the classical period, but new foundings have found that their complex civilization began earlier, so it is not pre maya, because the mayas are the ones that have lived there even before the development of a civilization, so it would be called instead pre classical maya period.
How did the world people allow mankind to be destroyed by ignorance? If everyone who has lived could have been allowed to be all that they could be, maybe we would now have eternal life.
yea. idk wat it is with shrooms and other psychadelics, but i always get mad mesoamerican, and really mayan looking visuals from them, their architects and artists had to have been tripping a lot back then. i also get a lot of celtic, and maybe norse knot kinda symbos too, a neat cultural mismatch of stuff really from shrooms, as well as many representations of the Mandelbrot set
If you pause @19:04 The rocks have what looks like a mask and next to that a babies face and then a figurine of some sort holding a basket on her head. Directly above the red line running into the cave. Probably nothing but.....
50.00 - Make no mistake, the loggers, ranchers, miners and oil companies of our era are wrecking the Amazon Rainforest on a whole new scale of destruction to the ancient Mayans.
hanstubb no. Jade is found in the Americas and probably in other parts of the world. It’s not a plant or animal that evolved in a certain place isolated from the rest of the world. Gold , silver, emeralds things of that nature are found all over. Whether or not the people who live in an area with those things uses them is up to them.
Anita only about 10 cities fell do to these reasons u should also know that 200 Mayan cities fell to Europeans desease brutality and horses till the last city was ceased in the late 1600s for RELIGION get educated
clearly u didnt c ur post u said they fell all on their own but the Mayans never fell till the 1600s or on their own u also must of missed my post and the Europeans made far more sacrifices

Based on what? They were a tribe who moved south, got lucky and found a selection of thousand year old abandoned Mayan cities to colonise, sacrificed themselves to Mayan Gods for a few hundred years, then were obliterated by the Spanish. What exactly were they the best at?
you know pretty much every society has done terrible things in destroying history I'd wonder what we would know about the past of the middle east if Islam hadn't destroyed all aspects of pre Muslim civilization, or if the PRC had not decimated Chinese culture
After all that study, work, and schooling, archaeologist came in with the nonsense that the maya´s drawing are symbolizing wars, and actions or no relevance, right, it is like saying that the windows in a cathedral is for allow the light to enter the church.
Luckily some real Maya's still know the Secrets and the Sacred. National Geographic are the new conquistadores and the scientists the "legal looters". Like the Spanish conquistadores and the missionaries you exhibit the same limited 3D view missing the multidimensionality of the Maya culture. Sacrifices were only practiced when the culture was already in decay.
Delight13 unfortunately that’s not true. The Mayans at contact with Europeans and their descendants today don’t know many secrets. A lot of their religious beliefs a were merged with Christian beliefs and passed down. In a way many things do survive, but much more was intentionally destroyed in colonial times by catholic friars who believed the Mayan and other mesoamerican beliefs and history were either the work of the devil or not valuable and burned. Archeologists AND modern day Mayans helped decode the Mayan glyphs which could have been done previously.
Say the descendants of the conqueror who slaughtered men women and children at wounded knee, who pilfered, enslaved, slaughtered with one hand on the bible and a bloody sword or gun in the other! Said the descendants of the conqueror who burnt people at the stake in New England in the name of Christianity!! Said the descendants of the conqueror who chopped off thousands of heads in France over politics and religion!! The plan was to make us look like undeserving savages so u wouldn't be judged for the biggest human genocide in the history of mankind!! We did not go around sacrificing all day long!! There are stories of canabalism, human sacrifice in every continent!! Hypocrites!!!
i suppose that's partly true, but let's face it, the european christians have done THE most damage to human history and culture, the americas, south east asia and australia are just some examples.
The art and architectural styles are amazing
ANTH 121 brought me here
Anth 162 here.
ancient civilisations were so advanced they managed to do things with basic tools its awesome
I trippped out on shrooms the other day and visualized a lot of mayan symbols. Glad I got this knowledge now.

This is the most bigest Mayan structural of the world, Ixchel.
I've been there! I love it! History is amazing!
A Brilliant Tribute to a Magnificent Culture and People

What is the source? I like to use this documentery in my history B course, Im from Sweden so I hope I spell well enoge to understand. :)
Great teacher!!!
Glad there are still proud Maya descendents out there, and that my European ancestors didn't wipe them out completely.
nice film thank you so much zion
When the auto quality is 240p
The good ol days
Personally, I am half Maya K'iche' and half Purepecha.
Ignorance is how Men learn to change the world.

Why was Richard getting all the credit for excavating, I know he figured it out, but he wasn't even helping.
nobody here really has any interest on this shit, we all just trying to get by our assignments and never look back on this topic ever again
Be more respectful please, the world is a piece of junk for people that think just like you.

I am writing a apaper on it and am a little confused this was pre- maya before the main maya correct ?

Could you repeat the question?
50.00 - Make no mistake, the loggers, ranchers, miners and oil companies of our era are wrecking the Amazon Rainforest on a whole new scale of destruction to the ancient Mayans.
Oh wow, this is so 1980's or 90's with the joyful music at the start...sounds like a gameshow
I thought Jade was from Asia?......So how is Jade in his tomb... ? Traded?... Or?
hanstubb no. Jade is found in the Americas and probably in other parts of the world. It’s not a plant or animal that evolved in a certain place isolated from the rest of the world. Gold , silver, emeralds things of that nature are found all over. Whether or not the people who live in an area with those things uses them is up to them.
Abdul I found you, and i am Sadek
Peace truth & respect. Love you :)
Wow, this is a very deep documentary. I can see the Mayans self destruction out of ignorance.
their civilization lasted a long time though.

Anita only about 10 cities fell do to these reasons u should also know that 200 Mayan cities fell to Europeans desease brutality and horses till the last city was ceased in the late 1600s for RELIGION get educated
What does that have to do with Mayans killing other Mayans for blood sacrifice?
clearly u didnt c ur post u said they fell all on their own but the Mayans never fell till the 1600s or on their own u also must of missed my post and the Europeans made far more sacrifices
wait, i do this day in and out, cause i love it, and I could have gotten grades???
How the hell did they carry those massive stone blocks? Without horses or oxen?

clear documentary

innit bruv what are you talking about? You make no sense. What tribe?
how were the people able to grown corn
That Bruv from the grass they got out of the swamps
Did you threaten the glasgow council like you did the country club?
you know pretty much every society has done terrible things in destroying history
I'd wonder what we would know about the past of the middle east if Islam hadn't destroyed all aspects of pre Muslim civilization, or if the PRC had not decimated Chinese culture
The archaeologist ego. This is annoying.
Did you ever throw any of your poops at the councils that you threaten?
I wonder who's starting this fires...
Mayan people do them... For their fields.
homework leads me here :(
Peanut ahh. Too bad you don’t find this fascinating. I do, but that’s me. Hope you got a good grade!
Me too. Coronavirus sucks

Its called sacred geometry. Look into it.Fractal theory, manifestation of consciousness, mathematical metaphysical language of the universe.
