National Geographic Investigates: Ancient Maya

National Geographic Investigates: Ancient Maya follows archaeologists as they use satellite technology to piece together the civilization that mapped the heavens and built vast jungle cities like Palenque and Uxmal while Europe endured its Dark Ages. Modern experts help decode inscriptions the Maya left behind for future generations. This is a strong choice for students because it connects ancient achievement directly to the ancestry of millions of Mexican and Central American families today.
