Lost King of the Maya In an ancient Mayan arena, enemies of notorious King Yax K’uk Mo square off in a ball game that appears much like modern soccer.
But
in this fateful contest, winners live—and losers lose their
heads. From 200 to 900 A.D., Yax K’uk Mo’s dynasty of Blood
Lords presided over the Maya city of Copan, conducting
hallucinogenic vision quests, ritual warfare and human sacrifice.
Join
a team of archaeologists and historians who are piecing together
the fascinating rise and fall of this ancient city, its legendary
founder, Yax K’uk Mo and its amazingly advanced culture.
Maya
Lords of the Jungle The civilization of the Maya, which rose out
of Central America’s rain forests more than 2000 years ago, grew
to dizzying heights of achievement before declining precipitously
in the ninth century AD No one yet knows why Maya civilization
collapsed, but in Maya Lords of the Jungle, we witness the quest
for an answer as archaeologists investigate temples and monuments,
piece together the meaning of a complex hieroglyphic language, and
analyze Maya trade routes and agricultural techniques.
