Cities of the Underworld 2: Maya Underground

Wed August 13th at 3:00pm

Belize was the nerve centre of the ancient Mayan civilisation. Hundreds of ruins dot the landscape and reveal clues to bloody rituals, advanced architecture and a belief in an unforgiving underworld of Mayan gods.

 

Host Don Wildman ducks beneath the jungles of Belize to uncover burial tombs, sacrificial altars, ritualistic caves and the literal entrances to the Mayan underworld.
