OLMECS... PERIOD.

This climb is challenging, but not extremely difficult for people who are comfortable with hiking. 400 people make it up and down each day, and that's because of.an imposed limit. There are rock steps for the entire climb and cables to grip for much of the climb. The infamous "flying" steps often shown are attached to a structure that you pass by, and climbing on them is prohibited. Four of we senior citizens from flatland USA made it 3 months ago.

You crack me up. This is great stuff!

Looks like a weak civilization

Is it safe to drive a rental car here from Palenque to catch a boat to Yaxchilan or are there many road blocks and dangerous criminals?

Humans came to earth about 65 million years ago, they landed in the Yucatan.

I need to do this tour Awesome dude 🫵😤 see you soon Machu Picchu PERU God bless ✝️✝️✝️

A wonderful tour. Thank you for braving the elements--mosquito-borne diseases, a hornet's nest, snakes, extreme heat and humidity, and of course the precipitous terrain (partly created by the monuments themselves)--so that we can enjoy this magnificent site from the comfort of our homes. Speaking of, I wonder what these Mayan living spaces might have looked like back in the day, festooned with sculptures and other art when these powerful rulers lived in them. Also, I love how you have the manner of someone giving a tour of his hometown, like he's lived there all his life, when showing these exotic places almost forgotten by time. Thanks for bringing us along.

thank you for this

Parallel universe eclipses

Great stuff!

I am planing a trip to the area late in 2025 and this is now on my "must see" list. You fill the video with enough information that your presentation is one of the best. Please keep on your journey and keep the videos coming. Thank you for all your efforts.

Thank you for your video. I just visited Ek Balam with my family. I was amazed by the tomb of the jaguar king.

La Danta is the largest Maya pyramid and the largest pyramid in the world

Fascinating, I can hardly look away.

The liquid mercury aspect has always intrigued me when it was first discovered. The mausoleum of china’s first emperor, which I’m sure you have heard of, is suspected of having liquid mercury within underground chambers. Do you believe this is a coincidence, that two different civilizations separated by an entire ocean, had liquid mercury chambers within its pyramidal structures?

Awesome video!!!!

Love your page man.

No dude, the stucco is not original at Mitla. And you can tell that by looking at older pictures of the site. So I can't watch the rest of your video because that makes me wonder what else you got wrong. 😑

Recently discovered your channel! You bring so much knowledge and insights on these ancient cities! Keep up the good work, looking forward to more content!

Love the Bladerunner intro lol

5:07 I can't help but wonder if those hills in the distance may also be Pyramids that have yet to be excavated.

Have been there and Bonampak in 1992. We arrived, visited and slept in Yaxchilan in tents. Before dinner we washed at the river and I jumped from a boat in. The current took me and I could just grap the end of that boat when I came up. After lunch a French teacher asked the guide Manuel, who lived at that place and who's family cooked for us, if he might visit it again in the morning. Wolfgang and I asked if we could come with him and so, in earliest morning we went up there and in one minute we all lost each other, were alone and felt magical eternity (I never forgot that), The place was way less cleaned and more jungle. Thank you for bringing me back there. I wish all a happy 2025 even if times become more difficult.

1,300 not 13,000 years ago. "Its useful as a sundial" Its also useful as a back scratching post.

I like your hat

Thank you that was a great tour. Those pumice walls/faces as you climbed to the top of the pyramid were interesting and it seemed the same colour as the fire ant mounds. I guess it was an old ocean uplift or some such. Easy to excavate for the early people.

When he walked into the pyramid and said "I don't have a flashlight" I died 💀💀💀

Say the exact location! Do not try to hide it.

Why would u go unprepared??no light....😂

I can't think of a better way to honor the original inhabitants than incorporating a Zoo on this site.

Let me go exploring without a flashlight. Heavy duty planning.

Bless those baby cheeks. 🫠

I live in Sonora and i never imagined a pyramid of that style in a landscape that that looks familiar to me like on this one but of course it was built during a different time, great video.

Great Tour ! Thank you so much for sweating up all those steps! This is a not well known Maya site. You did a wonderful job taking us through it !! Grateful ❤

its pretty wild to assume that those fine polished stones were done by the Inca civilization

Dude I'm worried about you. Did you have your blood pressure taken before doing this?

The cheesy background music of this "documentary" lost me (sadly) in the first 60 seconds.

I’m so jealous of your amazing adventure but also grateful that you shared it. I’m too old now to do things like this but I’m extremely interested in the ancient Americans! I’m glad I stumbled on your video ❤

Can anyone make this visit? Or special permits or permission?

Excellent report! Subscribing. I was at Sayil in September 1995 and there was nobody there, looks much the same now. Watch out for those wasps! I got stung on the earlobe by one at Uxmal and it hurt for weeks. I look forward to checking out your other videos.

Thank you for a concise tour of beautiful ancient civilization !!!

Reminds me of TH-cam videos from the early 2010s,good stuff

Thank you for sharing. One of the best trips I ever took was visiting yaxchilan and bonampak. I bought the tour in Palenque. It was well worth it.

Excellent documentary tour. That closing 60 seconds was interesting.

I went to there in 1974 and the church was yellow then.

I was on a archeiological mexican tour by car in 1977 with a buddy , we were in the palenque area and wanted so much to see Yaxchuilan. however the car was low tio the ground and we were warned that it was almost not accessible by car much less our low to the ground car, we were very sad to have driven all the way from the NYC area to not be able to see this then even renowned site. so this excellent video gave us a good view even if we could never get to there ourselves, back then Palenque, the best preserved and fasinating of the sites, was very well isolated . we could imagine what Yaxchilan offered,. thanks so much for the excellent tour, though only partial, ragards, R

Let's fill the empty spaces with state-of-the-art replicas.…down to micrometre or something. Plus, everything should be stacked and made up with one big garden with chia pet-like planted moss

Who goes pyramid hunting without a flashlight???

Brah…. Really you don’t have a light? You travel way out there without a light… man what about a candle better yet doesn’t your camera have a light?

EXCELLENT ! Thank so much, I just visited a few days ago and I was so mesmerized, this is very educational.
