  • nice, throw people into your drinking water lol

  • @abeitling There were "rubber" trees back then you know.

  • @BillmanXL the sap of the tree was rubber

  • ancient mayans played a hoop game with a "rubber" ball?????? really?

  • @abeitling They used a particulr tree sap to make the rubber balls by drying it out and they mixed in some mineral i think, they also made chewing gum from it too.

  • @MoeyDogNub It's a nose brah. Sorry to shit on your hopes.

  • ive been there and when u go by the big pyramid and u clap it sounds like the pyramid says the gods name hehe

  • @ellojello818 its the sound of the snake and bird.

  • I thought the winning team was sacrificed?

  • @ahkoifish, no one really knows legitimately, but it was usual the winner that were sacrificed.

  • @Zephyrrix Oh okay, thanks friend!

  • @ahkoifish Actually the captain of the winning team

  • @After3ffects Ahh, that sounds about right. Thanks!

  • @ahkoifish no just the captain

  • @nikofighter1 Thanks! You lot are really helpful.. Lol

  • @ahkoifish The captain of the Winning team was sacrificed (decapitated) by the loosing team's captain, and the looser team had to try again the next day. this is was honor not a punishment.

  • @mrandisheh Thanks! I new it was something like that.

  • chi chen itza lady!! 

  • The Maya had developed their writing and their calendar long before the dark ages in Europe...

  • @gunsrlove Supposedly they were taught by reptile aliens.

  • @Tr3ySoldier ..or supposedly they had developed a complex mathematical/ astronomical system while everybody in Europe were still fucking their sheep....

  • it was actually the ones that won the ball game were sacrifice it was an honor to them

  • @Ryan963 The Mayans had great humor it seems

  • itza good chichen :)

  • Just went there today! And it was the summer solstice today -.- meaning hottest day of the year.... >.>

  • @LiveJoyDivision

    I went there about a month ago now. Did you do that thing where if you clap it sort of echo's into and around it?

  • @randommax95 yes and we heard the hawk noise. Scary shit. :P

  • The bible doesn't even mention the Americas, so mentioning anything bible related here is IRRELEVANT

  • @spinner9582 The Bible is always irrelevant.

  • @spinner9582 Never thought of that, u rock.

  • Comment removed

  • Historians now believe it was the winning teams captain that was "sacrificed" at the end of the "ball game" not the losing team. It was considered a honor to join the gods in heaven.

  • That was the hottest day of my life there

  • @webba0000000069 -Read SuperGods by Morris M. Cottorel. Pay specific attention to the decoding of the Mask of Pacal. no human hands made those 200 pieces of jade stone. Also read Book of Enoch translated by R.H. Charles and find out who those 200 actually were.

  • @antiazazel the book of enoch was not an authentic book and the bible prooves that beyond a doubt...there were no UFO civilizations

  • The Spaniards killed the Mayans. Europeans killed millions in the Caribbean. Know your history!

  • @wirechair Good

  • @sewerrod

    yep

  • @wirechair on numerous of the walls we see pictures of white human beings with red hair being sacrificed by those who are darker skinned people...only dealing with facts numerous white skellotons have been found in north america dating as far back as 9000 years old...no your history!

  • @lucy9359

    hmm, ok didnt know that, so i can't comment on it. anyways i was just commenting on what i know about. i'm not saying the Mayans or Caribbean people were without sin, im just saying they didn't disappear off the face of the planet because aliens took them or they magically disappeared as some people believe. They were victims of mass genocide. Read "The Tears Of The Indians by Bartolomé de las Casas if you ever get the chance. He exposed what the Spaniards really did in the Caribbean.

    i agree, mankind has had some extremes. Indeed we all owe God, a debt we can't pay ourselves.

  • The winner of the game pok ta pok are the ones who would be sacrificed. NOT THE LOSERS! the mayans only sacrificed what they thought was the best for their gods.

  • @1:30, Ancient history's first recording of an all-night bender!!

  • @antiazazel VERY-GOOD!!! NOW THAN U KNOW THAT SATAN WORSHIP IS NOMORE THAN THE TRACKING OF THE PLANET SATURN RIGHT????? RIGHT!!!!!! RELIGION WAS WRITTEN FOR MAN BY MAN TO PUT UNDERSTANDING IN OUR EXISTENCE!!!! SINCE THE BEGINNING OF "TIME".... SO TO SPEAK!!! THATS Y ALL THE SO-CALLED "MAIN-RELIGIONS" PRETTY MUCH PREACH THE SAME MSG... AND KUM FRM THA SAMEPLACE!!! MIDDLE EAST!!!

  • "The land under the monuments had been privately-owned until March 29, 2010, when it was purchased by the state of Yucatan"-Wikipedia...That Land Belonged Belongs and Will belong To The Mexica People, Some Gringo Probably Owned it, Don't Try To Exploit Our Sacred monuments by such a Worthless Thing as Money!!!! Death to The False Gods!!!!

  • lol ther screwed if the person can swim and climb

  • Why is there a cock at 3:00?

  • @Ryan963 You see what you want to see lol, you made me laugh I had to reply very gay but funny.

  • @Ryan963 It's a nose.

  • @Ryan963 its a nose

  • @Ryan963 its suppose to be a nose LOL??

  • You cant trust the inerpretation of secular archeologists. The serpent is a definite reference to the ancient serpent from the Garden of Eden. not to mention the plumeth serpent perhaps before he was cursed by God. There is also the decoding of the Mask of Pacal found at palenque. Serpent god worship is exactly the same as satan-worhip as was done in ancient times. In predeluvian times 200 angels fell from grace and they built those ancient temples and were venerated as Gods by man.

  • @antiazazel

    Flying serpent=comet. Think about it. What other snake flies? Comets have tails and were thought to have been gods...hence why they are worshiped. Which is why the comet in 1519 was misinterpreted as the return of Quetzocatl (I know its the wrong civilization but they are all somewhat interrelated)

  • the caender ends at 1012 years then will be the world end!

  • @jonas2422 no they just ran out of space on the rock they were doing the calander on lol

  • why zoomin in at the dick at 3.05?

  • The same symbols and salutations can be seen at ancient sites all over the world, in India, Egypt, Tibet, South America. Astronomy was known to many ancient civilizations. There is speculation that these civilizations were visited and taught by those of a higher dimension and more advanced evolution. Knowledge is still being transmitted today, to those who can receive the communications as the planet prepares to ascend to the 4th density, or 5th dimension. More than history is involved here.

  • @carol161213 It would be so amazing if we knew more about all of our ancient peoples throughout history. They were probably smarter than us today.

  • why the fuck do they always let a stupid, clueless ass gringo to tell the rest of the world our history? why cant they let and indigenous person pronounce the names correctly, instead off this stupid reporter? -____-, seriously mational geographic ya lla cagan >:/

  • Chichen Itza's amazing, too bad when you go to the actual site its pretty much just an enormous flea market, with people everywhere trying to sell you cheap wooden carvings and shit, i was disappointed

  • that ball court is called a Pok A Tok Court

  • There is 1000 times more VALUE-WORTH in 1 single brick an any Mayan or Aztecan pyramid...........Than there ever be on the whole of the so call Statue of liberty shit.!

  • I always heard it was the winners who were sacrificed after that ball game.

  • omg this video saved my life because I have a talk about it and I know nothing of it

  • Awesome video! Such an interesting place to visit, full of history.

  • stupid gringos" lost temples" why are they lost? you guys are the lost ones ha ha

  • @filthyjew1  ha ha bite your tongue now puto......

  • its funny how whites kill 95% of the Native Americans and then talk about how much American they are more than the so called Mexicans....

  • i was there 3 days ago, prett cool

  • "Top heavy class of royals, over-taxed people, costly wars," sounds like the U.S. for the past decade.

  • Me Agrada La cultura Bastante La Cultura Maya

  • LOL! PAUSE AT 3:00 IS THAT A DICK?

  • @MoeyDogNub lol it's a face but I first thought it's a dick!

  • @ullamaliztli ulama is what the Aztec civilization named it. the Mayas called it Pok-Ta-Pok

  • The losers will be sacrificed ??? how dramatic.

    How does she knows.

    National geographic have a time machine ?

  • the winners got sacrificed ,,,not the losers

    people fall into water and die all the time

    why does it have to be so exciting

    

  • @ANCESTERSMEMORIES I had a feeling it was the winners that got sacrificed. Why give losers to the gods? Its like giving your left overs to some one "above" your level.

  • If these culture survive would have it's own arhitecture and religion, would have prosperity.What brought them destruction was human sacrifice culture.Because of human sacrifice, visigoths were able to justify title barbarians, sack the gold, force conversion.

  • its very weird to think that the myans had the ability to read the stars hundreds of years before the europeans. ALIENS!!!!!!!!!! XD

  • Actually the story will not be published. Also will not explain the technology their ancestors had possessed. In fact, it was Europeans who hid their history and destroy all traces of the vanished knowledge.

  • mayans were guided by demons . naa really they were. =)

  • ummmmm yumm yumm yummm i live chicken pizza

  • i was there :) in the top of el castillo

  • i was there :)

  • HoMe

  • THERE NOT GONNA DROP BODIES IN THERE DRINKING WATER.

  • @1980vince your stupid

  • @aztecsun12 and your abviously on drugs.

  • @1980vince This documental is wrong. Chichen Itzá has two major water bodies: The sacred Well and The Xtoloc well, The sacred well was used more like a ceremonial place, while the Xtoloc well was used for consuming purposes.

  • @1980vince but they did

  • @t10h190 you stinken sand nigger you dont know nothing about my ancestors.

  • @1980vince lol im irish

  • @1980vince they didnt think that the bodies stayed in there and rotted, i dont think

  • @1980vince you spelled they're wrong.

  • @1980vince Why not? Romans wasted all this time bathing and then they all used the same ass scrubber to wipe their asses at public toilets. No microscopes, no bacteriology. The narrator doesn't say if the sacrificed people were left to rot in the water. And they state it is a Spanish account which should cast some doubt in your mind if you know anything about the conquest. The Mayans had long since declined by the time the Spanish showed up. Their source of info certainly wasn't primary.

  • Yeah :D i went inside the pyramide :)

  • Reptile Aliens

  • jesus secret - watch video at jagball22

  • very interesting shit man

  • just got back from visiting mexico for the first time this week - loved it, will definatley go back, did chichen itza, but somehow preferred tulum!

  • What r the Aztecs and the mayans what kind of race? But I think I like the Aztecs more : )

  • @SIX6TYSEV7EN the aztecs and mayans where people smarts. they werent animals or something. and there is no certain type of race that they were. we could say that they were natives lets just keep it that way. and these werent aztecs or mayans or incas

  • @SIX6TYSEV7EN the aztecs and mayans where mesoamerican tribes, plus the had no race, how about you just read a book on pre colombia civilizations?

  • AZtec and Maya are different. Maya pride!

  • @mycambodianluv no AZTEC PRIDE

  • lol she cant even say yucatan or chichen itza correct!!! XD

  • pause at 3:02 you will see a cock :D

  • @potlog23 You little cock lover.

  • Comment removed

  • I'll admit the Mayans did many crazy things, but why would they deliberately throw sacrificial victims into their drinking water? Did anyone find a heap of corpses at the bottom of the well?

  • ROFL look a flame war!

  • HOW ARE YA'LL ?

  • THE OLMECS THE (BLACK RACE) BUILT ALL PYRAMIDS NOT THE MAYA OR AZTECS THEY WERE SAVAGES

  • @chink34 how about you look up the word LIE

  • @chink34 That comment is about as valid as Erich von Däniken's assertion that aliens from other planets built the Mesoamerican pyramids. The Olmec built earth mounds like the ones you see at Cahokia near St. Louis, Mo. The fact some think the so called 'Olmec Heads' look African is about all the evidence you have. I would argue Black Africans in Nubia were largely responsible for Egyptian Civilization, and have their place in history. But not here. You have other 'proof'?'
