- Edzna is a fabulous archaeological site off the beaten path of tourism that every lover of ancient Maya civilization should visit. This magnificent forgotten city sits in northern Campeche at a crossroads that once brought in people from all over Mexico. David Miano and Cassie Thompson are your guides to this fantastic site, and they will also show you a wonderful lost city nearby, known as Santa Rosa Xtampak, which even fewer people visit, to their great loss.
We hope you enjoy watching this #antiquitiestravelguide about #Edzna and Xtampak as much as we enjoyed making it.

is anyone else as impressed as me with this channel. i consider world of antiquity to be the head of science regarding ancient structures. his videos make me feel like i'm actually there and sometimes living in the ancient times. of course there are other great scientist online with excellent videos but no one is organized as well as this channel and has the solid performance and consistency with every video. WOA gets all the perfect camera angels, highlights the main interest but also highlights the small interesting things that complete the whole picture. what i truly love about his videos is that he speaks with all facts and when one of the facts sounds a little far out, he somehow knows it and explains it in more detail or leaves a link for us.
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate these travel series you do, the combination of the first-person perspective (including accommodations, food, maps, etc) and all the great information and history and editing, makes for a wonderful experience, while allowing me to see places I probably never will have the opportunity to visit in my lifetime. I know I've made a few joke/creep comments on these before, but please be assured that I am enjoying them primarily for all the reasons you intended. The subscribers who don't pay attention to these are really missing out on something special.
Thanks, Jed!
This is a wonderful video. I was familiar with your "Myths" series, but this one popped up on my feed and I was impressed with the information, photography and over-all presentation. You and Cassie really brought these sights to life.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it.
I'm so sad I was completely oblivious to sites like this one when we were down in the Yucatan last fall. It was unbelievable seeing Chichen Itza and Tulum, but holy crap I would've loved seeing a site like this with zero tourists or souvenir peddlers!!
I wish I could go to Xtampack, bring a Six Pack, in my backpack and relax my-back.
It looks so decorative! That jaw doorway looks so ornate
Michoacana is also a popular ice cream parlor name in the Houston, TX area, and you can buy Michoacana brand ice cream in a lot of grocery stores. Didn't expect for it to pop up in a World of Antiquity video, though. 😋 That was a fun surprise.
Hehehe, I also learned the hard way to not trust your GPS when navigating the Yucatan hinterland. Suggested shortcuts often end up taking longer. Usually best to go the longer route, it often takes less time. ☺️
The motor sounds when ur lill car traverses the map is absolutely ecstatic. Video rocks but that has me rollin in floor
Wow! Now I want to go on a road trip!
Really well explained, thx
Thank you.
Another gem
Great video. Many fascinating facts and I enjoyed the light friendly style.
These are awesome. Love watching
Loving your work! Been binging your channel.
How many people have told you there's something very Mathew Broderick about your voice? 🤭
Great presentation!
Thanks!
Man, absolutely fantastic series. Every video is more informative than the other. Me and my gf are thinking of doing the same trip, and now Edzna will def be in the schedule. Greetings from Brazil!
Awesome, I am glad you both are enjoying it!
We!!÷
You are awesome
That was great!
The quality of this video is outstanding! Thank you! You should have more subscribers.
Thank you, Julie. I am glad to hear you liked it!
This looks promising.
a site i recommend that has been not excavated is tumilco a few miles south of tuxpam
Awesome. Here in Campeche. Headed there now.
Fantastic!
Wonder if miss pickles is related to tommy pickles from the Rugrats 😂
That was cool i do need to ask i see you 2 can clime or walk up the structure. Can you go in them or some of them thanks for this vid
No this inside is off limits.
man im shocked to see such quality content and editing and yet so little views with so little subs.
you need to take time to market your self more.
at 14:22 or so, you are walking past a terrace with a very rough floor. is that a deliberate shaping of the stone floor? would it be best described as a 'deterrent' to anyone in bare feet. might it then be considered defensive?
I am enjoying your series on the Mayan sites. Can you recommend an online source of info regarding the Mayan Architectural Styles?

@@szpakmateusz8500 Wow!
@@szpakmateusz8500 His lectures are available on Vimeo at Fierce Kitty. He says out loud what I've been thinking about the Bronze Age short supply of tin motivating ancient cultures out to sea for resources. He's not afraid to suggest contact. I like it. vimeo.com/82456477?fbclid=IwAR2KiZXpFRFub60C1NzR_Tc4_I5GiOxyKdzE_17_94Hm2uLU5OtEixVRQ10
Is there any Maya sites in the Yucatan associate with the Winter Solstice in the way that Chichen Itza is with the Equinoxes? I am in Merida thought it might make a good reason for a day trip. Great Video by the way.
Not that I am aware of, but there are astronomical observation buildings.
I year later, but I think Dzibitzaltun have it.
Hi Professor: Perusing through the archeological annals on line I did not find much on the Maya and their Maritime History; evidence of a boat culture exploring the Gulf of Mexico or Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, is there archeological evidence of a Maritime Mayan Culture?
That's something I am not super familiar with. I haven't heard much about it, perhaps because there has been little found.
Wow! So, are you guys just traveling the world?
That's the plan - although we are grounded right now.
@@WorldofAntiquity I hope you're able to continue with your plans.
Nice joke, "I just wanna see what their legs were like" because stairs were absolutely everywhere! No wonder they loved that ball game where they used hip and feet movements, like soccer and hackey sack do today.
For that reason I will better explore other Mayan ruins that are not Chichen itzá Tulum teotihuacan or other and instead exploring during the Monday to Friday days mayapan uxmal edzna calakmul and others.
The question I’m having is that which archeological sites are more peaceful and less crowded?
Who is Cassie?
{:-:-:}
Is Cassie a doctor too?
A doctor of cool.
@@WorldofAntiquity haha your awesome 👌. She does come off as very cool.
The rock & roll music you chose for this video ruined the whole experience. 🤨
Would have really enjoyed your video if not for the horrible music...
I LOVE the music. 🙂
@@WorldofAntiquity well, that’s what makes the world go round...
