Great to see your new post! Very much enjoyed your new video and presentation and look forward to more. Your content is always very well presented with unique information and insights! Thank you! 👍
The city planification of El Rey reminds me too much Teotihuacán... i mean the buildings in the corner of a long road that ends in the large pyramid in San Miguelito. Like the pyramid of the moon in the Avenue of the dead. Perhaps the mayans had Teotihuacan influences even in Postclassic times?
I have been reading a lot about urban planning in Olmec and early Maya and pre-classic sites, and it seems that there was a formula for long streets with certain specific temples in certain places, and it seems that this got preserved and distorted in different ways in later Maya sites and Teotihuacan. I see what you are saying and it’s an interesting idea I hadn’t considered. But as far as I know, I don’t think there is any continuity between the long layout of Teotihuacan/other early sites and later post-classic Maya sites. I can’t think of any sites from the intermediary period which were built in that long way. Even if some parts of these layouts were preserved, it seemed they became distorted and square or wide over time. But I don’t know every site, so maybe there are some. Hmmm… Something to consider, for sure. Maybe we would know more, if it wasn't for that dastardly golf course. My impression that they did this to aboid flooding, because the center of the island is the tallest part, and the site is built around the highest point of the island (which is a hill only a few meters tall).
Look forward to your content every time I see a new episode come out. Appreciate your knowledge of the area and cultural history. Please keep us posted on your journey, looks so exciting what could be next. 🍻
I’ll be honest, to me a resort is my personal idea of hell. I have a long list of places I want to go, and I love to travel with a specific purpose, and I rarely stop to relax and unwind when I travel. I didn’t even have time to swim at that beach in this video because I was on a tight schedule for filming. I was there for five minutes to film that shot and left. But I don’t blame other people for wanting to go to a resort and just forget about everything. If they like that, that’s fine. Have fun! The thing that bothers me is that I have learned that there are people who spent a week in Cancun, and who would have gone on a day trip to visit a pyramid if they knew they could, but who were lacking the relevant information to do so. I think plenty of the tourists staying at Cancun resorts would be glad to take a little trip to a pyramid but simply don’t know what is out there, and this video is made especially for them. I share this knowledge so that we can all learn and grow, even on vacation.
Great stuff!
hell yeah fixed audio

Thank you! I have some very special sites coming up in my next few videos. I hope they don’t take too long to edit.
I can't imagine going somewhere and staying in a resort, never leaving resort, and then complain you didn't see any ruins on top of it
