History's Greatest Disappearance | THE MAYA COLLAPSE

For centuries, the collapse of the Maya civilization has remained one of history's greatest mysteries. How could one of the world's most advanced civilizations—with towering pyramids, sophisticated astronomy, remarkable engineering, and thriving cities—see many of its great urban centers abandoned?

Or was the truth far more complex than historians once believed? Journey through the rainforests of Central America as we uncover the rise of the Maya, explore the lives of powerful kings, examine groundbreaking archaeological discoveries, and reveal how modern LiDAR technology transformed our understanding of this incredible civilization.
