Lost World of the Maya (Full Episode) | National Geographic

Published 2020-12-30
The Maya - their soaring pyramids, monumental cities and mythical mastery of astronomy and mathematics have captured our imaginations and spurred generations of explorers into the jungles of Central America on a quest to understand them. Lost World of the Maya surveys their dramatic rise to prominence in the 'pre-classic era' of the Maya as well as new evidence of the collapse of their civilization in the 800-900's AD.

  • @WorldsFairNYC
    The good ethics of Nat Geo giving these docs away for free shows why they’ve been around almost 150 years. Kudos
  • @beataplaya
    Most people don't understand the minds of history-loving people. Thank you Nat Geo, for today I can find answers to my childhood inquiries many people dismiss as inconsequential.
  • @tombystander
    The ancient world is so fascinating. To imagine the cultures and practices we have missed, forgotten, never learned about.
  • @84jamesp
    Imagine how many hidden cities we have worldwide underground and under the ocean waters. Absolutely fascinating
  • national geographic and history channel never fail me since childhood. please keep on spreading knowledge. thank you.
  • @user-bm9yw4nl1w
    So well produced and researched, respect too all the members involved.. Great documentary. We need more content like this from National Geographic.

    Only in the last couple of years have I realized how massive the Maya civilization really was. The likely possibility that there are hundreds of yet to be discovered sites burried inside the vast jungles is astonishing.
  • @vesper2020
    This is what makes you wish you could time travel, go back and see what all this used to look like 🥰
  • What I found fascinating is we are also part of the same history. 800 years down the line, people will look for our cultures. These everyday living life, are history, and so were for mayas.

    I was born in Guatemala City and grew up in a modern subdivision called Utatlan (Mayan for “Place of old reeds”) in the outskirts of the city. When I was about ten my best friend and I would walk half a mile to where they were building another subdivision called KAMINALJUYU ("Place of the Ancestors") where they were finding Mayan Mounds, but sadly doing nothing to preserve them. While we Played we would find pieces of pottery and broken clay pieces of figurines mostly in the ditches around the burial mounds. (So vivid in my mind now, after 56 years). This Pre-Columbian site of the Maya civilization was largely swallowed up by real estate development and today only a few mounds, artifacts and pyramids are preserved at a small Archaeological park/museum near where I played as a 10 year old kid.

    Archaeologists: Marks of torches, they must have had rituals
    Mayans: Can't see is dark pls fire
  • There were a lot of things people today do not know and understand. I love this documentary. This is what I am always looking for.
  • THANK YOU National Geographic for continuing to post full episodes for us to enjoy during the pandemic lockdown!

    "The location is a closely guarded secret" ... shows map with coordinates
  • I went there and it was incredible… Mountains of dirt/trees everywhere that were actually buildings or pyramids that haven’t been uncovered yet
  • @user-qz3oi9qc2j
    This is fascinating learning about our anscestors! I was able to visit Yucatán Mexico where there are Mayan descendants. Wonderful humble people
