Lords of the Maya (1997x9)

: 04, 1997

As Christianity became the dominant force in Europe, a religious movement was shaping the ancient Mayan civilisation of Central America. It was based upon the arrival of a messianic "fire child" into Mayan territory in AD 378. This film reveals evidence from an excavation in Honduras that suggests the Mayans were responsible for a cult of blood sacrifice.
