I'm not really sure if any of these people have every actually been to Guatemala but the Mayans didn't disappear. They are still there. When I told them that we thought their empire had collapsed they just laugh at me. They say that they just moved into the Highlands because it was too hot in the lowlands. That's literally in their collective oral history. Have any of these people ever talked to the people who still live in Guatemala and speak ( I know this will sound crazy) Mayan dialects?
Their civilisation collapsed, or at the very least regressed
What you say makes alot of sense, but if they packed up and moved everything them why did they abandon all their traditional building practices when they moved to the highlands?
@@SilenTHerO78614you gotta remember these are religious buildings the religion has changed
I don't think any historian thinks the Maya ' disappeared ' .. We all know the people as such are still around. This video even ends on that note. But yes , mysteries and dramatic stories sell better . So a lot of books & videos love to act as if the Mayan peoples just ' disappeared in thin air ' .
@@brainwashington1332They adapted to external pressure.
Would be cool to have been there to see this thriving civilization in action
It might actually wouldve looked like class inequality hell, beautiful buildings surrounded by thousands of slums
a jaded civilisation
Until you get sacrificed
Yes, it would be fascinating
id prefer not to. They a mysterious and fascinating culture that grew from the jungles of Central America. its the mystery of them that makes it so interesting.
Another excellent documentary from get factual 😎👏🏽
Wow! Absolutely fantastic reporting, with so much new material. I can’t thank you enough for this revealing and educational program.
very well done documentary and very informative. I'm Mexican and ancient civs enthusiast. I'm very pleased with this documentary.
I need to point out it was catholicism they were trying to spread, not Christianity. Their actions show the difference. Doing harm is not very christian
Fact check? The Maya Civilization collapsed long before any
Europeans arrived ! !
So spare us the liberal white guilt.!!
The Mayans suffered the same fate as The Romans, Greeks, Persians, Assyrians, even The Mongols and Aztecs. They were absorbed by their surroundings, people thirsty for conquest and riches. And the occasional natural event that fueled superstition and could move mountains. As all other ancient peoples, they still live among us.
Nope. That is a simplistic and false summary. Yes, empires fall and crisis arrives in unexpected ways, but the causative factors and history are all very divergent as were the nature of those empires, how they were organised, how they functioned, and who held power.
@@solgarling-squire7531 The Conclusion at the end was kind of stupid calling Roman civilisation as pragmatic, as they didnt have any drought for such a long time or had any sudden food shortage that could lead to death of a civilisation.
Simplistic summaries about things that are inensely complex are worthless. :)@@swadeshnayak1816
We are still paying for that worldwide …all that cutting away of naturalization
Great stuff
The "cities" were ceremonial centers, trading centers and palaces for nobles and clergy. The Maya lived in the outskirts. They supported the nobility, military and clergy until most likely a drought showed them that the prayers and rituals of nobility were useless. My ancestors simply moved to wetter and fertile lands.
The Conclusion at the end was kind of stupid calling Roman and other civilisation as pragmatic for their continued survival, as they didnt have any drought for such a long time or had any sudden food shortage that could lead to death of a civilisation.
Great video but some of the scenes of exploring the Yucatán were clearly filmed in Wales or the Lake District! 🤣
I kept thinking during this whole video that it was some how related to weather. Then I thought about its relative latitude to krakatoa and it is believed to have erupted in or about 530 to 550 c.e if this could possibly be the beginning of the end for the Mayan civilization as it would have destabilized weather patterns for many years to come and also affected crop production. Is this a possibility?
The supposed Krakatoa eruption of the 530's has been disproven, not that having a similar latitude would have had any extra impact on the region.
536 definitely seems to have been a _volcanic winter_ but Krakatoa was not the culprit.
The past 10,000+ years of _Global Warming_ has been the greatest thing to ever happen to humanity.
Thanks for clarifying that the Global Warming started 10,000+ years ago, not since we began using fossil fuels in the last 200 years !!!
@@luislucero6920 from what research tells me the earth has heated up and cooled many times over its history regardless of mans activity.
Oy vey.
They inherited it all from previous civilizations
Love these docs
Thank you❤
Thank you for the love! 🌹
Bunch of Mayan tribes made it to Florida.
Bellisimo
Fantastic channel. I'm always looking. history time with Peter Kelly, history with Cy, and the WF Fil the gods we have new peoplees Thought I knew all the history/archaeological people but I loved the presenters every one All great. I;m funny too about narrators and have my favs Oliver Platt, Liew Schrieber, Mark Halily, Peter Coyote, Bettany Hughes, and the great Michael Wood.
My reply is a little wacky I was saying thank the gods we have new presenters in edition historians and archaeologists.
Weather changes may have forced them to move to continue growing crops ect
Very interesting, thanks
They don't want to tell you why the Mayan collapsed, but it was because of the invention of fast food.
The narrator has a voice similar to Forest Whitaker
Anotar y extender
28:07 "and engineered the natural enviroment"
Yo estoy convencido que el final o quizá el deterioro de nuestra civilización será debido a una sobrepoblación y escasez de alimentos. Estamos en el mundo unos ocho mil millones de habitantes , antes o después todos desearán ser "consumidores"al estilo del primer mundo. Un colapso inevitable.
Maybe the archeologists should have searched for a Urim and Thummim to help translate the Maya code.
This whole narrative is misleading and untrue
Another effort to set fake historical facts: Indian Vedic Bharat Sanatan civilization is Billions of years old and Vedic science,astrology, culture and religion was prevelant in the entire universe. Time is divided into four parts by Vedas and there are four Vedas. This era or time is the fourth and the last, this is the worst of all the four times in which negative powers take over and dominate
Eurobias is ripe on this one
Ancient Mayans a great matriarchal society, that never truly died off, but rather socially declined, causing many of the once urban dwelling people to retreat to their once ancestral jungles, that their foremothers once inhabited.
The civilizations that flourished independently in what are now called Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, and Chile defy the prejudices of 16th-century colonizers and the scientific racism invented by Europeans centuries after it. If the power and development of a culture is measured by its architecture, the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas should be considered much more powerful and developed peoples than those who existed in Europe before Roman expansion. While European people lived in shacks, the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas built stone cities with magnificent pyramids that are only comparable to those in Egypt. It would not be possible to build these immense works without the development of knowledge of mathematics and techniques to manufacture the tools necessary to prepare materials, logistics to transport them, etc... None of this existed in Europe in the period in which American civilizations flourished.
There are so many similarities between the meso American meso Chinese civilisations.
Their stylised art remarkably resemble the artifacts found in the San Xing Dui site, China. Their reverence for jade is no mere coincidence either.
There is no connection with the Chinese civilisations. Not a bit. Neither knew the other existed, there were no contacts, and aesthetic coincidence is not proof of anything.
the Teotihuacáns in Mexico also used mercury in their culture just like the chinesse !
i hitch hiked through there in the 1980s.
How did the Mayans fall were still here
What the hell is CE age. I know that there is such thing but isn’t it easier to count for us BC and AC ?🤷♂️
so basically the maya used many different font.
So any kingdom, empire, dynasties ended with one word; GREEDY
It might be similar to coming future
Make a broad statement in a documentary with no evidence to the thing stated. Im sure they had gun in hand while climbing the treacherous hillside.
I have an interesting question: what should the chiefs do in order not to fail the civilization??
You give a person an inch they want a foot the leaders could have distributed the wealth amongst them and gave them everything they asked for and it would not have mattered because people will always want the things that they don't have and more of whatever they do have
So we're just going to ignore Yuri Knorozov?
Right, I'm sure if they asked David Stewart who cracked the code he would say Yuri & Tat'yana. After all he was building off of their discoveries.
@@benjaminbowman3342 it's a weird omission ?
Surely they move to those lands outside earth beyond the wall of ice.
Theres a thought because there was quite a few yrs since first contact to full invasion many probably died from disease that they had no immunity
As a member of my council of native American Mayan Inca we headed north to seek the water as the white shipers of boats were in the south plans. Other white settlers gather on the north east region of north America. Miner of Northwest region of north America cut off water supply to the mountains. We starved and disease start to play with the blackness that was brought in on the land that everyone trash on.
I wonder if it was depicted in Mel Gibson's film, Apocalypto.
They possessed knowledge of portals and were acquainted with the outer world, which they occasionally observed on specific days. On these days, creatures from other realms would enter our land through these portals. Their reverence was particularly directed towards a winged serpent that had traversed into our world through these openings. It's noteworthy that many ancient civilizations, now lost to history, shared an awareness of these enigmatic doors or portals. In the Quran, Allah indeed references the pathways and doors of the skies. What do you guys think about Bermuda Triangle and Devils Triangle? Keeps researching
furqan qureshi blogs ?
Since using lidar they can see a fuckton of cities covered by the jungle
rise and fall? they came from nowhere with all the skills and knowledge, flourished and disappeared back to nowhere. where is the learning process, the poor built stone works? funny they are on top of the older well made ones?
And why you never mentioned the work of Knozorov in deciphering the Mayan code? Not very factual.😊
The history of the indigenous peoples in the Americas is much, much older than a few thousand years. The Hopi people tell that they arrived in the America’s about 30,000 years ago when the continent that they were living on, Lemuria, sank under water. We judge the Maya, Aztecs, Inca’s and others on the traces that we find. But when we dig our way from the present to the past, we must know that the Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven recurring natural disasters. That is told in the Popol Vuh. These disasters create a cycle of civilizations. There are four primitive civilizations, sometimes mentioned a sun or world era. The next civilization lives in the fifth sun. This becomes eventually a high developed civilization. The last one disappeared 20,000 years ago due to a recurring, thus predictable but inescapable disaster that is caused by the ninth planet in our solar system. That planet orbits our sun in an eccentric orbit hence it is only a short period close to our sun and its planets s it crosses the ecliptic planet at a very high speed. This high developed civilizations has built sturdy monuments all over the world and they must have buried knowledge about themselves and the world history deep in the ground. High in the mountains they have built shelters or surviving places for a selected number of people. Like Machu Picchu in Peru. The Navajo people tell us in their sand paintings about that planet and this cycle of civilizations. They also show the direction of the orbit of planet 9, also known as Tonatiuh or Xiuhcoatl or Nibiru in other regions. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the rebirth of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions about ancient history. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: planet 9 roest
Thank you
YAWN.....
alot of this whataboutery could be easilhy explained by interviewing Mayans...
Most modern Mayans only know about their language and civilization thanks to American
and European academics. !
But...no need to thank us ..!
Send in the old trouble makers that should end war. The Kaiser and George with boxing gloves on.
Coming to America
And why the Mayans say that they don't created any structures only they inhabited them when the giants go
Interrogations based upon tribes that were now we're starving tribes in the lower streams are higher streams of the mountains or guilty of the issue of starving us of water so you're creating an issue of cutting the water source of North down to the mountains of Central America or the white settlers came in from Spain in southern America.
Charles I Burleson Jr: It was the taking sacrifice of their own innocent blood which contributed to their disappearance and abandoment of their cites. Amen RAW. Or Nabu the same.
Again the dark legend of British Empire. The first language to have a gramatical was the Spanish, the second was the Nahuatl. Of course nothing is perfect, but the King Felipe II and Isabella Catholic let the Mexicas keep their tittles, and Mexicas and all the natives were consider part of the Empire, so no one can take advantage on them.
Moctezuma Family is still alive, they live in Spain with noble titles. End of Story.
My daughter's name is Maya ,so i had to educate myself about the Mayans
no.
Huh? I'm confused? So the answer to the big mystery is,....they all just decided one day to abandon all civilization and em mass move to the forest/wood? I wonder if they took thier camping gear of just had to rough it? And? The reason for this mass insanity is cause there gods abandoned them?
Why not actually watch the documentary ? Or is your attention span limited to 5 minutes ??
This is what happens when you have Europeans explaining every other cultures history. The Mayans are still there. They still have Mayan villages and people who speak Mayan language. Why did they abandon living in the hot jungle in stone pyramids with toxic insects and plants??? Uh maybe because living in the city in a house and sleeping in a bed is easier. When I was there by those pyramids it was absolutely miserable. It was unbearably hot, the bugs were eating me alive, there's termite hives as big as canoes, alligators dwell in the most shallow pools of water waiting to pounce on you. A monkey jumped right out in front of me missing my head by inches. The jungle is not for humans, even though I survived. I contracted a skin infection from a freaking tree! I had to take antibiotics for weeks before the legions on my skin went away. So I understand why they moved further inland. It was still hot, but at least there wasn't any wild animals toxic bugs and trees to worry about.
ce? Not AD!
Down Vote.
Where did they go ? If they all died ?? There would be a lot of graves ? Theres not that many grave sites there or anywhere , where did all those people go ???? Thats the Question ❓
There are still Mayans, in Central America, like Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, they didn't disappear or anything like that.
That guy was hitting a metal chisel with a rock? Yeah right
If these buildings are more than 3000 years ago, than they do not belong to this world.
its a story of pirates of the carribean and not match the maya underdeveloped 15 million towmsfolk.the prophecy of the maya civilisations was written by the gods.the maya already know what to do until a new reign of gods arrivals..thats all folks..🤣
Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan/Et cetera were representations of the White Bearded Gods that had raised every ancient civilization from their primitive existences and had promised to return.
Unfortunately for the people of Central/South America, the Spanish/Portuguese arrived before their return.
That said, White Bearded Gods have returned to every ancient civilization across the entire planet and have elevated them even higher than before. They have even managed to elevate those who had always been considered to be subhuman; though obviously to a much lesser degree than those living in Europe/Asia/Americas.
I'm native Mayan, I speaks Mayan dialect living in London Ontario Canada and this documentary is 💯 misleading
How so?
The human sacrifices will stop
THE MAYA GAVE IT THEIR BEST SHOT, BUT IT FAILED WHEN THE U.S. RAN OUT OF ""GREEN CARDS"",,,,,,,,"FINITO SENOR ""
they committed mass suicide by jumping into a volcano
They Where All Killed By The Spanish They Didn't Abandon Anything!!! 😢
Religion through death...nice way to get "non-believers" to believe? Such is how all religions work in this world.
This is really a terrible documentary. The narrative is all convoluted and unclear. And by the way, the footage they show of modern Maya, are Maya from the Guatemala, Highlands, not the Yucatán.
I heard they invented soccer.
Yeah ...but played with human
heads. ....
Burning the books... like desantis in FL?
😂some things never change.
Plenty of Mayas still around. They just don’t 😣 l pyramids anymore lololol
They fled, they might get killed,
Interested until the natives were classified as "RIPE" for Christian conversion (minute 4).
Catholic and Christian are not the same ...
such a weird researcher you have there.
Sensationalist clap trap,
They obviously weren’t that smart…lol
😂 to comical 😂 you don't know geography 😂 It is not central America ❤ where this human live 😂.. saludos🎉
In the name of Christianity 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
