Mayan Innovations & Inventions | History of Early Civilisations | BBC Teach

Petro, Diaco, Donnel and Hedia form the panel of steely potential investors with cacao beans to present to Maya inventors, if they can impress the panel with their products. The products are real Mayan innovations and inventions, including jewellery, a “world first” in agricultural irrigation, a load-carrying tumpline, and the complex Maya calendar. Contrasts are made with British civilisation at the time. This clip is from the BBC series History of Early Civilisations - Maya. Through parodies of reality TV shows, this series introduces different aspects of the Maya civilisation. Suitable for teaching History at KS2 and KS3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2nd/3rd Level in Scotland.
