This is better information than I've received in any of my tours in the Yucatan peninsula! So awesome! 😎 That's so cool that he mapped Palenque!!

The maya and the aztecs didnt build the pyramids nor did the egyptians, it was ancient aliens. Pakal did have a spaceship

I heard the elongated skull was to make them more aggressive in battle. Much of history is only educated guesses.

coolest book ever
“A more elegant math system” 🤓 sure, it’s cute how the dots and lines come together, but we do that in modern math as well after 10. 12 is the combination of 10 + 2. Mayan math is reminiscent of Roman numerals, where it literally requires math to read the numbers. Sure there’s 10 different symbols to learn in modern math, but once you know those you can combine them to form any other number without much effort. What would a large number even look like in Mayan?
Soooo the elites of Mayan society wanted to look like ears of corn😂. And all the other societies around the world that also bound their heads ALSO wanted to look like the corn that they didn't have? Occams razor should be used to shred your doctorate.
Try again son…
The Maya has the more massive piramide till today is true, we are the most bulders of piramids in the world, we till now seems are with the most math of all and much more – In one thing the Maya will not compite in piramides is the engineering of the Egypt till today: say the weight of stones puted up to where they are its even a chalenge for today.
The question is: If the Egypcians did not have the math how do they come with the PI, PHY, C just to say a few?
I think that to do the Gisa they need the zero (0).
Under 5’ 2” is typical for Oaxacans too, they’re not Maya!
Man, I love history! Thank you, dr. Barnhart.
He's the real tomb raider and Indiana Jones with bragging rights
