Deep within the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala and extending into the
limestone shelf of the Yucatan peninsula lie the fabled pyramids,
temples and palaces of the Maya. While Europe still slumbered in the
Dark Ages, these innovative people had charted the heavens, evolved
the only true writing system native to the Americas and had made
tremendous strides in mathematics and calendrics. Without metal tools,
beasts of burden or even the wheel, they were able to construct
monumental cities. Filmed at numerous sacred sites throughout Central
America, Mystery of the Maya explores the culture, science and history
of this fascinating people.
