Mayan revelations - (not) the end of the world | documentary history

Investigative Journalist, Elisabeth Thieriot, embarks on an epic journey and uncovers previously unseen Mayan artifacts- the actual first stones that created Mayan Calendar model- and the knowledge never before shared outside of the Mayan Nation.
During her filming in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala, Mayan abuelos dispel the myths about “the December 21st, 2012 end of the world” conspiracy theories surrounding Aztec and Mayan Calendars. Specifically, the mystery and fears surrounding the end of “B’aqtun”, also known as the measurement of time that the Mayans identified as a final 3,300-year cycle. Thieriot went on to investigate why Mayans studied Cosmos as a means of guidance for daily life and social stability. That is where most revelations occurred that differ from the beliefs we held about time, space and the role we can play, when equipped with their knowledge.
