Episode: Vanished Mayan State and the Cycle of Civilization - Dr. Marcello Canuto & Dr. Marc Zender, Tulane University
Description: Dr. Marc Zender and Dr. Marcello Canuto are researchers at Tulane University's Middle American Research Institute who specialize in the history of the Mayan peoples. We talk about the similarities between the bronze-age collapse and the emptying-out of the Mayan homelands, discovery of more than 1,000 settlements long-hidden beneath the teeming canopy around Guatemala’s El Mirador, the difficult work of accurately reconstructing ancient history, and the sticky appeal of ancient aliens narratives.
