There are just six weeks left until the celestial odometer that is the Mayan calendar clicks over to the next b'akt'un, but in the meantime, scientists have been trying to solve the mystery behind the collapse of the Mayan civilization. Today, a team of anthropologists and climate scientists report a very strong correlation between the civilization's rise and fall and drought conditions. This has significant relevance for our own civilization's future - the most accurate climate models today predict that global temperatures will be much higher than previously expected, meaning more extreme heat waves & severe droughts, among other consequences.

The Real Mayan Apocalypse

Many cultures believe that human life began in the forest, and for that reason, a deep connection to the plants and animals is always treasured by those who live amongst the trees. Hidden from view and hard to access, these ruins are providing us with a deeper understanding of the Mayan culture. At the same time, direct descendants of the Mayans still live off the land. Even in this day and age, the people of the forest continue to practice their timeworn customs and primitive yet sensible farming methods.

Un-Belizable! We're off on a Central American Mayan excursion on this episode of Travel Thru History! Belize City, is a popular tropical hotspot on the coast of the country of Belize. Belize is considered the heartland of the Maya civilization and you’ll love learning about some their bizarre customs. We’ll visit Lamanai, the impressive archaeological site of a large ancient Maya city and learn about Belize's colonial roots at the Belize City History Museum. Then, we dive deep into the most amazing spot on the Caribbean Sea - The Great Blue Hole. You’ll be amazed by the sheer depth, size and seemingly random placement of such an oddity. It’s filled and surrounded by a scuba divers’ dream, several species of fish and an amazing barrier reef.

A team of researchers have found evidence that the Mayans had managed to build a sophisticated water purification system in Tikal — over 2,000 years ago. According to the lead researcher, Kenneth Tankersley of the University of Cincinnati, the purification system was so advanced that it would still be effective today.
