Summary

Did you know the Mayans used saunas for healing purposes?

In the past decade or two, there has been an upsurge of interest in Maya history. This was partly fueled by the mythical Maya prediction of the end of the world in 2012, which for a short period of time put this civilization under the media spotlight.

But there is much more to their culture than the common misconception about their calendar. You see, this is one of the most important and most influential civilizations of the whole Mesoamerican region. The Mayans did not only make achievements in the field of astronomy; they also made revolutionary accomplishments in agriculture, engineering, and communications.

Great introduction to the Maya

A good starting point to learn about the Maya. The narrator is a bit odd though. He is easy to listen to, until you hear the breath he takes before he starts every sentence that you then can't unhear. It sounds like it has been edited but cuts in half way through the breath...bizarre! Enjoyed listening overall though.
