  • Naachtun is the last city of the Maya golden age. We know little about it and archaeologists have started excavation just a few years ago. Isolated in the middle of the tropical forest of Guatemala, the researchers are trying to understand how it can have survived for almost 200 years after the collapse of the Mayan civilization in surrounding cities, and in doing so, to shed new light on the history of this people. Using ambitious resources, including 4K HD cameras, drones, and cutting-edge graphics, the result is an exciting adventure combined with an in-depth scientific study. This documentary promises the account of an epic saga.

    I am not an archeologist, by profession I am an electrical engineer, yet I find the work of the archeologists digging Maya sites as immensely interesting to find out their way of life and their death. The story of Naachtun and the death of Tikal was so absorbing. The dedication shown by the archeologists in finding out the truth will be a guide to the future of archeology. The life and works of the Mayans corroborate to the celebration of life on earth and what enjoyment they show.

      Not an anomaly. Looks like an asian beard. The very same Moctezuma is described as having a small beard, definitely not as thick as the europeans, but prove that indians had facial hair; not much, but others were hairless. Pubic hair was also very scarce, or completely absent. You have to see the beard in some chinese men, with long, strait, but sparse beard nonetheless. That is a characteristic found in mongoloid peoples in asia.

    Our dear Archeologists and anthropologist, early civilization was built not by warlords but by peace loving people of extreme wisdom. Warlords came after it was built and flourished. Came when the civilized order was disrupted, giving rise to disordered and brutality. All ended like that, brutality after civilized.
    Disruption? Catastrophe of biblical proportion of extraterrestrial origin. Example? Comets fly by earth littered debris burying animals people and cities. Open up opportunities to survival the fittest, war lords.
    Guess why all archeological finding are covered under debris? and further by vegetations grown on comet debris?
    Warring civilization has only one ending. Example? The Mayan civilization.
