The ancient Maya were a highly organized civilization of hundreds of small city-states that developed in what is now Mexico and Central America. One of the earliest civilizations to settle in the Americas, the Maya built great cities dominated by huge stone pyramids that were designed to inspire awe among the people. In this program, students will follow archeologists into the ancient tomb of Lord Pacal, King of Palenque and learn the critical role of the king as both the leader of the city-state and a religious icon believed to be descended from the gods.
