Part 3 in a 6 part series. The discovery of the Bonampak murals in 1949 shocked archaeologists and shattered the Mayan myth once and for all, revealing a culture that glorified warfare, torture, human sacrifice and blood-letting in fulfillment of heavenly duties. Further archeological evidence led to the revelation that the Mayans risked their lives playing a mysterious and deadly ball game. Features Julio Tot, tour guide and James Woodley, student.
All shows in this series were filmed and produced entirely by Lawrenceville School students as part of the interdisciplinary course 'History Through a Lens' under the guidance of history master Michael Hanewald and filmmaker and art master Gil Domb.
