YORE LIFE AS A CLASSICAL ERA MAYAN! - Part 1

Описание: Welcome to the first episode of a new series dealing with the Mayan civilization!

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE IF YOU ENJOY THE CONTENT!

In this video you are "Jaguar Fang" a stone carver from the city state of Tikal. You and your brothers have been invited to Palenque to carve the occasion of the young King Pakal to his new bride.

In this series you will experience in first person what life was like in the Mayan classical era. In this first episode you will experience a mayan hunt ceremony and the hunt itself, before setting out to the city state of Palenque. A journey that will take you and your brothers from the Mayan Lowlands and your city of Tikal, deep into the Mayan highlands to the city state of Palenque!

Also for those who have watched Apocalypto...while I enjoyed parts of the movie they conflate history quite a bit...for example the Mayans managed to deforest and remove themselves from their city states long before the Spaniards came. However, the Spaniards DID bring disease and DID wipe out 99% of Mayan texts via burning them...
