    this is my country and for those person s saying Belize is not a country, you are wrong. Belize is a country, gained it's Independence from the British in 1981 and also one of the reasons why Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America. NOT SPANISH, ENGLiSH. Guatemala has always been fighting to get this country for it's resources.

    This I love because those who travel and have interests make talking that much more interesting. Talking about these different subjects means that the mind is open to questions and expanding on information. When someone is passionate about something it shows and it draws others in.
    I wonder if in those days there was a better reign over kingdoms because there were more smaller communities living under their own laws and rules.

    Lived in Belize for nine months as a volunteer teacher. Lead a class on a field trip to Caracol. Personally visited at least six major Mayan sites. There are many interesting facts about Mayan culture and their buildings. This film neglected them all and made the ruins appear to be a boring pile of rocks. Filmmaker seems to want to get her face on camera and report on her impressions of things instead of doing homework on the culture.

    Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him.
    “And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did open their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came. And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard; and it said unto them: Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name-hear ye him."
