FILM SYNOPSIS:

The Maya Civilization has baffled historians for centuries with its unprecedented prowess in Math, Astronomy, and Engineering.

All that was left of the Maya seemed to only be the ruins of giant pyramids, but the most recent discoveries from archaeological excavations reveal much more: lost citadels in the Guatemalan jungle found around Tikal, a sacred cenote at Chichen Itza, and underground network of tunnels discovered at Teotihuacan.

"Tikal, is a city whose name means "water hole" in the Yucatecan Mayan language. It is one of the most sumptuous Mayan city-states, with its pyramid-shaped temples built in a few years and its legendary kings, most of whose tombs have been discovered. Located in the heart of the Petén jungle in Guatemala, Tikal dominated the Mayan civilization for centuries. It will evoke memories in fans of the first Star Wars, as it was the location of the rebel base." (Blog Infotourisme).
