Naachtun: The Forgotten Mayan City
More on the movie «Naachtun: The Forgotten Mayan City»
For 2,000 years, the Maya built kingdoms and developed a civilization of incomparable wealth. Then they mysteriously disappeared. Buried deep in the primeval forest in the far north of Guatemala, Naachtun, discovered in 1922, had not been excavated since. Today, an international, multidisciplinary team of scientists, led by CNRS researchers Philippe Nondédéo and Dominique Michelet, is attempting to unlock the secret of its longevity, which surpassed that of other Mayan kingdoms. Why did Naachtun survive for almost 200 years after its powerful neighbors collapsed in the 8th century?
