    Promising, but not delivering

    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...

    Unprofessional

    Science is based on professionalism. I find it unprofessional that Jaskolski refers to technology as "crazy" and calls Kenny Broad a mad scientist. If they think their research is worthwhile, which I find extremely incomplete to taken seriously by viewers, the first to call upon to respect the matter are they. You do not see whether their theories pan out or not, would be too good to be true if they really would have found something new. Are they making a Soap Opera or a documentary? There's about 10 minutes' worth of interesting footage included the rest is beyond repetition filler with no new insights or discoveries. I was disappointed.

    At least it's not completely waste of time...

    "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.

    No truth was found here

    Would be too good to be true if they really would've found something new. Such an effort to bring some suspense to their search but a bit of a fail. And the commentary from the so call professionals are worse than from a soap opera. Was really expecting some new discoveries but was left disappointed. They say that the smaller pyramid is not accessible to general public but didn't mention that also the el castillo is not accessible to public to climb up.

    Not really a documentary.

    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.
