The documentary follows archaeological investigations of early monuments such as Aguada Fénix, ancient settlements in the Puuc region, water reservoirs, ball courts, pyramids, murals, and early hieroglyphs. Step by step, a new picture emerges: The Maya did not develop suddenly, but over centuries through agriculture, communal rituals, social elites, monumental architecture, art, calendars, and writing. Excavations in Kiuic, Xocnaceh, and San Bartolo reveal how early key features of the later-famous Mayan culture were already present. When did the Maya become the Maya? This documentary traces their origins.
