The Mayans lived in the southeastern region of Mesoamerica, primarily in what is now modern-day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. The heartland of the Maya civilization was the Yucatán Peninsula, which includes present-day areas of Mexico such as the Mexican states of Yucatán, Quintana Roo, and Campeche. The ancient Maya civilization thrived from around 2000 BC to about 1500 AD, with its peak during the Classic Period from about 250 AD to 900 AD. The Maya civilization was known for its advanced architecture, mathematics, astronomy, hieroglyphic writing, and complex city-states.
“Docu” made for US Americans with little to no knowledge about geography. Mayan’s lived on the Yukatan peninsula, today Mexico. And the Aztec were in fact the chocolate crazed (origin of the word chocolate = Xocolatl) - when the Spaniards came to todays Mexico and brought chocolate and so many other fruits and vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, paprika, etc.) to the old world. Only in 1876 the chocolate tree was introduced successfully into Africa, that is 380 years after it was first discovered in the Americas by the Spaniards.
Mayans. We also know very little about grammar. But I was also like /screeching brakes/ NOPE, with the "Why are they showing a Greek or Roman statue?" This is why I'm giving the side-eye to kids looking stuff up on TH-cam as a form of education.
😂😂 This is so crazy!! There are millions of Mayas in Mexico & Central America. The Egyptian pyramids are different structure than the Mayan pyramids. I've been to the Mayan Pyramids & met The Mayan People in Central America.
Concidering this video says that the mayans are African, I don't think I can trust anything said in this upload 😂 even my 8 year old niece knows the mayans aren't from Africa
In response to your last sentence: Does your 8 year old niece know about the Ibibios? or Ekpo? The thing is, knowledge has nothing to do with common sense. But we always see a lack of information as a show of low IQ. I have never heard about the Mayans. Never. This is my first time. But I am smart as shit. I only pay attention to what I find useful to my own life's journey. And don't be confused by my response, you can defend the irrelevance of my response to your comment, but I am simply responding to the vibe your last sentence gave me. With love 💕❤
I honestly thought this was a joke video at first. The Mayans didn't live in Africa. They were a Central American culture. And caco beans came from the Amazon Rainforest in South America. A quick google search shows they were first domesticated around 5,300 years ago before being introduced in Central America by the Olmecs around 4,000 years ago. The Maya did use it but they had nothing to do with it being grown in Africa. It was much later that the Spanyards took it to Africa where much of the crop is grown today.
If you listen carefully he only mentions the Mayans after he says those conditions are only met at area around the equator. Common sense extends this area to both Africa and South America
I just found out the Mayans used to dwell in equatorial Africa, a region where my ancestourz were born 'n raise'd. I've been knowing the Mayans were Mexican dwellers amid ancient years which renders me to tell they were African immigrants to Mexico. Slaves were as well African immigrants to the East Coast.
The MAYANS DIDNT LIVE IN AFRICA!!! Geeez, come on... They lived in Central America, predominantly the Yucatan peninsula, they were descendants of the Olmec people (most likely) and share mitochondrial DNA with other Native American populations including the DNA of the Inupiat people of Alaska thus proving they were decendants of Native Americans who emigrated across the Bering Sea land-bridge along with all other Native American populations. Sure, the Maya cultivated and traded cacao, but they didn't do ANYTHING in Africa. The Mayan people were EXTINCT long before the first Cacao tree was planted in Africa. The Portuguese planted the first Cacao trees on the island of San Thome (off French Gabon) around the year 1822. The Maya civilization began as long ago as 1000BC, flourished from 250AD-600AD, and had almost totally collapsed by 900 AD.... So... about A THOUSAND YEARS in between the two.
Excuse me? The Mayans lived in Africa? And these African Mayans - who seem to have teleported there from South America - discovered the secrets of the cacao tree? Those ancient Mayans also look suspiciously like modern-day Ghanaians. And then, at around 2.23 into the video, the African Ghanaians turn into Costa Ricans. Thankfully, the rest of the video appears to be relatively accurate. But really, getting the geography and history so completely wrong is nothing but laziness.
Hello beautiful👋🏻 how are you doing? how does it feel to be the most prettiest lady around here? Love your smile by the way I just wanted to say hi hope you’re having an amazing day🙌🏻🙌🏻😊
Seeing this as a Ghanaian brings a lot of childhood memories with my late grandad who passed on some years back. I used to visit the cocoa farm with him in the village on the weekend on 5 miles walking distance
Chocolate’s origins are in Latin America, not Africa. Cacao came to Africa from Brazil in 1822. Mayans lived several countries in Central America, Guatemala was home to many Mayans throughout the years. Two different geographical locations. Hopefully you can update your video to be correct.
@Factora_eng Mayans in Africa? Never heard that before. How did they cross to South America? And why? It makes no sense. Why did the Mayans have straight hair and were lighter skin? If Australian aborigines still have wooly hair, how did the hair of mayans straighten? It makes no sense. Why and how they cross such a huge ocean? You don't go yo the beach and say "we have so much land and resources here, let's sail across the sea", an ocean in fact. And not be anxious that there is any land on the other side. I'm confused.

This is from the same source you posted ------ The cacao tree is native to the Amazon rainforest. It was first domesticated at least 5,300 years ago, in equatorial South America from the Santa Ana-La Florida (SALF) site in what is present-day southeast Ecuador (Zamora-Chinchipe Province) by the Mayo-Chinchipe culture, before being introduced in Mesoamerica. More than 4,000 years ago, it was consumed by pre-Hispanic cultures along the Yucatán, including the Maya, and as far back as Olmeca civilization in spiritual ceremonies. It also grows in the foothills of the Andes in the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America, in Colombia and Venezuela. Wild cacao still grows there.
2:15 First, an innocent cocoa bean bag is made out as an example to the employees who don't meet their daily quota, its succulent beans spill into the collection tray
0:18 should have said that it's "virtually" available everywhere on the planet. Some cacao producing countries dont have access to the finished product (chocolate)
What’s sad is the ppl cutting the pods and seeds, have never even tasted the product. So, it’s not widely available throughout the earth. Hundreds of thousands have never even tasted a Hershey bar.
I grew up in a cacao farm. At night sitting outside under the stars, my family would drink hot chocolate we make during the day and its absolutely delicious. Another thing i really love is the taste of the cacao fruit. It's soft and fruity, with delicate flavour of sweet and sour, like the taste of flowers and berries. Cant compare it to anything but it's so good!
Well no. The Americas feed the world since Cacao originated in South America and Mesoamerica. We are the reason why you have a Chocolate industry in the frist olace, say "Thank you, South and Central America"
Its been 3 months i havent eaten a single chocolate, icecream, cake or anything that contains chocolate. I have also stopped eating bakery products. The changes in my body is magical. It helped me in weightloss, clear skin, and other acidity related problems
I had breathing issues when I would go to sleep. And they gave me a machine, To help me. breathe. That didn't work A little piece of chocolate. hour and a 1/2. before bedtime I slept all night with no breathing issues
Do you really think the Mayans were in Africa? Chocolate comes from the Americas. There was no chocolate in Ancient Greece, Egypt, or Europe. Wtf am I watching?
I am from Indonesia. There is plenty kakau plantations in my region. We are allowed to eat the white pulp as much as we want as long as we don't bring the kakau seeds home. They taste sweet and sour. Actually the kakau seed is so much bitter and inedible. When I was younger I didn't even know chocolate is made from this bitter and inedible kakau seed😂😂😂
Nice story. That’s why cocoa beans have to be fermented to bring out the taste. The bacteria and yeast produce lactic acid and acetic acid that buffer the alkaloids in the beans

Very informative to all viewers.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Except the parts they just totally got wrong, like the whole history of cacao. And having no idea that the Mayans were in South America.

I thought the Myans were from South America? NOT Africa.
Humans are amazing with their capabilities
Except white people............
I'm always jealous of the machines that seem to work. What's that like lol
Imagine 300 yes ago how they must have created chocolate
Funny how cocoa taste terrible but chocolate is my absolute fav.
Cocoa doesn't taste terrible, it's just extremely bitter, you need to process or use it correctly
Tastes better than coffee.
Wait, Mayans in africa? 😮😮😮

Misinformation!!! this creator is very lazy, which leads me to believe all of his other videos are filled with incorrect information. There were in fact no Mayans in Africa.
OFC YOUR HERE CASE
The history of chocolate, and its creation from the beans of the cacao tree, can be traced to the ancient Maya, and even earlier to the ancient Olmecs of southern Mexico.
👍
@@Factora_eng BUT you stated AFRICA...that is incorrect. For a channel about facts you sure dropped the ball on that one. 😂

Yes Mexico NOT Africa.
Oh didn't know about chocolate butter 😮 , thanks for new information 😊
