In the tropical forests of Central America, vast stone pyramids slowly crumble beneath the trees.
In this episode, we look at that great romantic mystery: the fall of the Classic Maya Civilization. Find out how this great civilization grew up among environmental conditions that no other civilization has ever contended with, learn about the fatal flaws that lay beneath its surface, and what happened after its final, cataclysmic collapse.

I live in the State of Yucatan, Mexico and many of my neighbors are Mayan. They still speak the language (a version of it) and,for them, Spanish is a 2nd language. They carry their traditions as best as they can. They are welcoming, generous, and kind folks. Hopefully they will be able to share and continue their story thru their children and grandchildren.

It broke my heart when Delando said it distressed and dismayed the mayans to see the books burn so very sad.

I lost my mom two days ago and I am home alone trying to find peace in my thoughts, and though this story is not good for the soul, your soft narrative voice, calms me. Thank you, sir.

You publishing these documentaries for public observance is a serious gift to humanity.
Anyone wanting to know more about our collective histories and perhaps take a chance at understanding how we got to where we are now, having access to this collection of documentaries thoroughly describing the rise and fall of the world's greatest civilizations is an invaluable resource for such an endeavour.

The Mayan script is so beautiful and...well, playful is the only word I can come up with for it. They seem to have delighted in coming up with different ways of spelling or writing the same word, sometimes using their glyphs as pictograms, sometimes as ideograms, sometimes as letters, all combined into an artful whole. It's absolutely fascinating.
A fact I love about it is that the linguists working on deciphering the text have also started teaching what they've learned to the modern Mayan speakers, and those they teach are running classes teaching others how to read and write in their own script. After so many centuries of repression, the Maya are able to read their own history in their own words again.

Such a shame to lose all of the Mayan literature, can you imagine the stories of the past Mayans, the politics, the royalty, the commoner, the strikes, the upheavals and everything in between. Would have loved to know that story.

This series is worthy of the National Geographic and what used to be The History Channel.

I've been playing Civilization V the past couple weeks and this is exactly the kind of history-food I need. Your visual compilation must've taken forever, thank you for sharing your craft.

Well the wheel is seen as a measure of how advanced a civilization was, but we need to understand that the wheel is not always that helpful. In these rainforests where the terrain is very irregulat and filled with tree roots and vines, the wheel woukd not have helped much. Plus, the fact that there were no horses or large animals to pull carts, it just didn't make much sense to use them. Technologies are a reflection of the needs of a civilization based on their surroundings and the challenges they pose. But technology is not always linear and comparable.

I had to pause a moment there when I learned he burned their books that hurts.

I cannot praise your work enough! All the funds the BBC has and they could not touch your work, seriously, it is only a matter of time before your work is noticed. You should have a million subs! The video is great, I could hardly look at the part about the book burning. Thanx so much!

It is hard for me to find any words for THIS utterly high quality! This is so professional and informative. Absolutely great!

If I meet a history teacher teaching these eras, im definitely recommending your videos for classes. These videos are so much better than the dry history documentaries they have in classes

"True Magician Jaguar" and "Smoke Serpent" are great names. Can't forget about "Lady Shark Fin" and "Double Bird" either! I like their style.

Finally. A quiet, non-screaming, non-inundated with a hounding smarmy narrator, PLUS cool, very informative . . . podcast?
Perhaps once it as a podcast but now it's a documentary, through and through (and you should be super proud of it!)

I think this is the best historic podcast I've ever listened to! The way they the story makes me feel like I'm actually living that!

Thankfully mayan descendants are still around us, there are many towns in the Yucatán peninsula where some people still speak only maya, and many more are bilingual, speaking both spanish and maya is very comon, at least in Yucatán.

I’m grateful to have been alive during a time when free content like this is at my fingertips. The amount of work that clearly went into creating this flawless series is very much appreciated. Finally, I am learning a ton. You go far below the surface.
