Buried Truth of the Maya

"Buried Truth of the Maya" is a Documentary in which we watch the exploration of the ancient Maya civilization, focusing on new discoveries and archaeological digs that aim to uncover the mysteries surrounding their decline. The documentary promises to shed light on one of history's most fascinating cultures, but while the subject matter is rich with potential, the documentary struggles to deliver a compelling narrative.

I liked this documentary but I have also to admit that I expected more from it. The documentary offers intriguing insights into Maya history and uncovers some fascinating discoveries, such as hidden tombs and artifacts. The visuals are decent, with some impressive footage of excavations and ancient ruins. However, the film feels somewhat shallow in its exploration of the Maya's rise and fall, failing to provide a deeper understanding of their culture or the complexities behind their collapse. To sum up, I have to say that "Buried Truth of the Maya" is an interesting and informative documentary but it doesn't go far enough in delivering a captivating or thought-provoking exploration of the Maya civilization. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone mainly because there are better and even more interesting documentaries to watch.

... but the terrible edition makes it painful to watch...

It is one of those productions where the narrator keeps asking questions that are never answered. A bit of reality elements by over describing the people involved, a bit of unnecessary drama and no actual findings. The interesting elements of this film are maybe 15 minutes long. And and get ready to watch the same thing over and over. As if there was a commercial break and you need to be reminded of the previous part.

I do not think it is worth watching. I was skipping the repetitive parts and the unnecessary drama but still I feel like I just wasted my time and did not acquire any knowledge.

I would be so disappointed if I was one of the experts in this documentary, when I was showed how they edited it.

Are they making a Soap Opera or a documentary. The music made all of us watching laugh the whole time. The voiceover was like a parody of American Idol or something not related to this kind of topic. They just keep repeating the same "mysterious questions" that might get answered...and then of course it just ends.

There's about 5 minutes worth of interesting footage included, the rest is beyond filler. You know they had enough footage to pull from, that in the right hands, could have been edited to a proper documentary.

Just finished watching this documentary. I'm a real Maya and Aztecs buff and so I was pretty anxious to watch this. Though it was reasonably good, it gave no really new insights. Wat was absolutely disappointing was that the end was wide open. I was left with the feeling that I had to wait for episode two. Which never came...
