OMG, I am sure a lot of people after watching this video just want more. I mean both of them are great but David Stuart has this quiet passionate luxurious way of transmitting the fabulous wonders of the Maya people. David explanations of Palenque are marvelous, i hope and i am sure many people too, would wish somebody somewhere, will do more videos of David Stuart´s precious descriptions of mayan archeology. He definately is a door opener to the mysteries of those amazing mayas. Thank u David.

I got into the Maya because of a book by George Stuart that I bought from my neighbor at a yard sale for 50 cents. Because of that I became fascinated by The Maya and this fascination has taken me all over Mexico and Guatemala to visit ruins and learn more. I hope to one day meet David Stuart and thank him for having a father that opened up a wonderful world to me.

The city of Palenque was known by more than one name. One of them was Tok Tan, meaning Cloud Centre. Perhaps it was named that way because the city was build on the edge of a mountain. Another name is Lakam Ha. This one is much more appropriate I think. Lakam Ha means Great Water. In and around Palenque are various springs and creeks that flow through the forest. The Classic Maya name for the Palenque 'empire' is called B'aak. B'aak means 'bone' or 'captive' in Classic Maya.

I am in Palenque right now. Come visit the ruins and spend a day in the rain forest. Then, afterward, you can stay in one of the many luxury resorts minutes away from the ruins. Amazing place and awesome people.
