| NOTES: |
Speaking to us from centuries past, etchings in ancient stone reveal the secrets of the lost Mayan empire. However, it takes a special team of New Explorers to decipher the messages left more than 1,000 years ago. The program uncovers the revolutionary way that archaeologists, anthropologists, and epigraphers are working together to unravel the archaeological puzzle. At the excavation site at Copan in Central America, an artist-turned-scientist explains how she learned to "read" the pictures carved in the Mayan buildings. You will discover an exotic culture devoted to war and ritual, and investigate the Copan dynasty's sudden collapse. |
