[@jasonshumate6456]

What an Amazing Man, a Dream Assignment, preserving & sharing you ancestral sites & culture with the World.

[@esmeniafinely2563]

my country Belize might not be a big country. but we sure do have a beautiful country. proud to be from Belize.

[@MarkWilson-wu5uj]

Can you help me plan an archeological itenerary to optimize travel between sites? I start at belize city October 26th then then bus to Dungrigia then Ferry to Puerto Cortes maybe a nite in hotel, then to Copan Ruinas by bus a day on site and a day birding then back to Dungriga by 3rd day. I want to most efficiently hit the so far 4-5 major sites in Belize I see one offset east of Ambergris Caye probably the last I will visit then 2 days on caye or diving.

[@elenabout3282]

it is not big

[@mcvandebeek8050]

Mark Wilson really

[@bighz4035]

Are you part native black people came with the spaniards but most dont claim the Meso American side like we do in Mexico I'm mostly Indian my grandma was still full native.

[@mark1138]

So good! Thank you so much!

[@diannaskare7829]

This was a really good and informative presentation with awesome pictures . what a find for the history of humanity !

[@danieljohnson1924]

Absolutely fascinating lecture. Thank you for uploading.

[@mheerd]

Indeed a very interesting and entertaining lecture. I only saw a few of the Belize Maya ruins, but I need to return to the Maya world every 10 years.

[@Mokimanify]

This is my favorite Mayan site ... They say it would have had over 120,000 people at it's peak. If you go, don't forget the ATM cave.

[@BarryMoeCraig]

Went to ATM this summer. It was amazing. I had a great and very knowledgeable guide. If you are really into Mayan history, ATM is a must see.

[@bgbreakdown]

The tallest building in Belize is a Mayan temple! Love it!

[@richardscales9560]

Excellent speaker.

[@robertpoen5383]

Wonder what the Mayans would make of modern day tourism officials from Belize, Mexico and Guatemala competing to see who can evoke the most "wow factor" in their exhibits.

[@malcommooney8086]

they would hate that a homasexual presented it

[@culturamayaviva]

You can ask us, next time you visit maya land.

[@FabricofTime]

Like another commentor said, the Mayans are still there. You can literally just ask them. A lot of Mayans actually work on the sites themselves in conservation and, I'm sure, tourism.

[@chrisrhodes2]

That pyramid may be the coolest one I've ever seen from the Maya...how is it not famous?

[@williamozier918]

My tin foil hat says the Egyptio-Academic-Tourism complex suppress' info about the facts of pyramids in central Mexico.

[@davidlineberry622]

If you've never been to Mayan ruins your missing out big time.......✌😎

[@hawkecaviar8270]

i'm in AWE

[@robswright68]

nice presentation, but the archive of BVAR research reports at their website is awesome

[@Za7a7aZ]

Honduras has some surprises under the canape too.. with lidar it is easy to find ancient "hidden" cities....going there is an other story..read aventure. Anyways, often the tribes say that the structures were already there when they populated the area.. Sure it isn't the case with the mayas? Sure your education will be a douzy having Jaime Awe as your professor.

[@SheikhN-bible-syndrome]

Man I want to go to Belize

[@mrjprechtel2020]

Happy Birthday 2024 🎉 From st George utah

[@TheToltec]

Pretty awesome 😎💯

[@janokelley2422]

Thank you.that was fascinating. I wonder if they went into caves because their prayers and rituals had become anti-elite?

[@gumbypokey]

Now imagine what you could do with laser measurements and 3-D printing....

[@HeritageCraftsKnowledgeReposit]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏ancestral home.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@f5thwheel1]

this guy seems genuine, i like in the front part he says universities dont teach how to conserve a site very well.....that being said....about 48 minutes in, he sees a corn god and a turtle in incarnation......, I see a torus, I also see the double fish which upon extension becomes the double snake which is what goes up the egyptian staff that became the symbol for western medicine, and as we know those snakes symbolize 2 opposing polarity sine waves, such as that running up our spine creating our kundalini which is what feeds our own torus or life force, i see the upper soul, the ascended master or avatar falling and having the soul split into 2 polarities to be spit out of the mouths of the fish only to ascend upward and connect once again in this continous sprial of life....so yes, as you continue to become familiar with the symbols, you can decode the art

[@antoniobeardall6520]

From the time you bring in anything Egyptian to talk about Maya art you lose all credibility. Considering he has been doing this for decades, I would trust his judgment over yours. His sounds plausible, yours sounds like new age crystal hogwash.

[@siblinganon66]

Egyptian staff? And here I thought it was Greek. And on that topic, I am not even sure that the ancient Egyptians did connect snakes with healing. Power and guardianship, yes. Healing? I'd like to see a source for that please.

[@diegocervantes7946]

Antonio Beardall There actually is a connection between ancient meso-america and the egyptians. Maybe not the maya people directly, but remember who preceded the maya, the olmec civilization. The olmec people have statues that have the false beard and egyptian style headress that you would normally find a continent away in egypt. Here's some proof www.google.com/search?q=olmec+statues&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD-Nvl0Y_ZAhXjy4MKHZTADU4Q_AUIwwMoAQ&biw=1366&bih=662#imgrc=VcO5mov7EeZ3RM: www.bibliotecapleyades.net/thot/images/esp_th29.jpg www.richardcassaro.com/unexplained-mystical-structure-egyptian-ankh-cross-temple-built-by-the-aztecs

Belize=my dream of a perfect place on earth to live!! Wanna go so badly.

[@rommelnavarrette2831]

You really dont know belize. It sucks trust me. Lots of crime, poverty. Im belizean its a horrrible place to visit. Dont waste your time.

[@MrIrons-og3rg]

wow

[@illumencouk]

The Mayan deliberately burying their own carvings in mud to preserve them from weathering is hardly the norm, is it? Admittedly Gobekli Tepe was said to have been buried, but nobody is claiming that there's a connection in this 'practice' of back filling, either. I personally find the idea that we're not going to see anything original in this site, with every thing on show being a mock-up, unbelievable. A replica means we can no longer distinguish its authenticity from a modern fake! It's a ridiculous arrangement where the archeologists simply meet the Berlize tourist boards expectations.

[@juan-ksporty7348]

Belize belongs to the Mayans

[@blueovertoneeagle8158]

In Norse mythology Odin hung for 9 days from the ash tree Yggdrsl, the World's Tree that connects the 9 worlds...In the poem Grímnismál In stanza 35, Odin says that Yggdrasil "suffers agony more than men know", as a hart bites it from above, it decays on its sides, and Níðhöggr bites it from beneath....kinda sounds like the under world to me...quite a few other parallels

[@richardburns6305]

That is true. The west is the best in Belize. Just my opinion of course.

[@mrmcg9288]

+Richard Burns I am looking at buying property there, any advice or places/areas you would recomend I look at? I want undeveloped land as far away from everything as I can get.

[@DJCARBON2012]

I have 7.9 acres of clean to land located in the west of Belize, outside of San Ignacio town . Its next to the highway

[@Billthebaker420]

Skip the first half hour, he really only talks about himself. You won't miss anything...

[@franksinbeans1755]

They are so similar to pyramids.

[@angelnavidad9011]

yow

[@laughman7357]

Can anyone tell me where the f*** the Stormwind Stockade is?? This guy said there's riots there and he'll give me thirty silver if I bring him the ring leaders head. I've never played this game before and I'm so confused.

[@Nanahuatin]

Sacrafice wasn't part of the Cosmovision of Mexicas or Mayan. These are scared burials of royal lineage tribes

[@thomastanabe5562]

Yeah Nicole pruse I'm in love with mikayla jane dortch

[@phantomwalker8251]

we were not born of corn,farming & corn,was taught to us.the translation over time is flawed..

[@ethereal72]

The professor acts like he discovered the civilization started the civilization built the civilization rediscovered the civilization before he got his PhD which he mentioned several times
