Fall of the Maya Kings (2022x8)

Data de estreia: Mai 08, 2022

One of history’s great puzzles is how the Maya established such a remarkable civilisation in a tropical rainforest over two thousand years – and then vanished. The fall of the Maya civilisation in southern Mexico is a dramatic and horrifying tale of power, god-kings, climate change, battle, despair, and increasing sacrifice. The astonishing story of the collapse of the ancient Maya kings may be revealed – by the ancient Maya themselves – thanks to new science and discoveries.
