A set of inscribed panels carved by the ancient Maya people of Central America inspired Dr Neil Brodie of Cambridge University, an expert on the looting of archaeological treasures, and Mayanist Simone Clifford-Jaegar, to mount an expedition to the jungles of Guatemala. Their mission - to find the lost city from which the stone panels came. Archaeologists have been searching for the mysterious place known as Site Q since the 1960s without success. Quest For The Lost City travels down the Usumacinta River, a site well-travelled by experts; and then deep into the jungle where the explorers find a recently discovered ‘lost city’. Here, the mystery of Site Q takes a surprising and revelatory new turn thanks to a sporting hero named ‘Red Turkey’, a map showing two stones in the jungle clearing, and a Museum Director in Maine...

  • I always try to imagine what the photographers have to go through to get these shots. They went up the pyramid first, carrying a camera, to get the shots of the others climbing up. They get out of the 4X4 and stand off to one side to show the vehicles driving through the mud. And, mixed in with all the action are some lovely shots of the flora and fauna of the jungle around them. And they remain anonymous, never seen on screen. Only their spectacular work speaking for their skill.

  • I'm not surprised. I often wondered, as I flew from Mexico City to Tegucigalpa Honduras, why they weren't searching among all the different colored greenery growing in the forests, affected by the limestone buildings. It was obvious to me they were buildings beneath the trees and woods. When they developed that foto machine to detect it, I figured it was about time. Finally they can concentrate on more archeological finds. On one of my excursion in Copan, I met an elder gentleman who was so happy to share his knowledge on the mayan priests. Seeing that I was an eager student, he stayed with me for hours explaining the metaphysics and theory of the Mayan priests. Unfortunately, the museum was later burned down. I've never read any of those theories in any research papers on Mayan priests. Sad.

Well, that number comes from the Mexican government, the INAH, the Mexican federal government bureau established in 1939 to guarantee the research, preservation, protection, and promotion of the prehistoric, archaeological, anthropological, historical, and paleontological heritage of Mexico... and you can rest asure, they know about it, but the issue is the budget, there's never enough money to fulfill research, preservation, protection and promotion of more than 10 000 archeological sites, and that's just in Chiapas State, and unlike other countries, thankfully, Mexico is very jealous when it comes to authorizing foreign institutions to explore and study the Mexican heritage.

Discovery doesn't happen within the time it takes to film a documentary. So for those who will pursue careers in archaeology or even geology, it's a good experience to see that the outcome isn't normally like this.

    • One of the greatest archaeological riddles of our time is the quite unknown story of the parallel ruins left by two seemingly unrelated ancient civilizations: the ancient MAYA INDIANS on one side of the Pacific Ocean and the ancient BALINESE on the other. The mysterious and unexplained similarities in their architecture, iconography, and religion are so striking and profound that the Mayans and Balinese seem to have been twin civilizations-as if children of the same parent. Yet, incredibly, this mystery is not only being ignored by American scholars, it’s being suppressed.

Oh and there are others in Belize and Honduras too, all across Central America, and there are stalls along the sides of the road that sell miniatures of glyphs like the ones these fellers are getting so excited about. Not quite as unexplored as it seems to be, but leave it for a couple of years and the jungle reclaims it again.

Then we see what could possibly be outtakes in major productions: from the difficulties loading the mules to mundane comments to the footage of one of them getting hit on the face by a branch in a scene that could have been taken from a comedy video.

  • The narrator said, hundreds of miles of jungle. I was under the impression that most of the jungle had been decimated. If anything, the jungle their is new growth, since if it was filled with cities, chunks of it had to be chopped down by various Mayan tribes themselves. Apparently, for thousands of years, we have engaged in degrees of deforestation. We need satellite maps to show "new growth" forests (under 200 years) to get an historical sense of the extent of deforestation in ancient times. Then we can compare it to what has been happening since modern times.

    • GaslitWorld... Michael Crichton (the author of Jurassic Park, the Andromeda Strain..) actually viewed such satellite maps, of the African continent, in 1978-79, while writing his novel "Congo" ... the variance of surface reflectivity of sunlight between different types of jungle - old growth, secondary, late secondary, tertiary.. was available by Landsat THEN... the reason nobody has found the cities is due to the fact that nobody has LOOKED.... also see the part that if you look at maps showing the locations of Maya Cities, you will find another theme... a high point, from which beacon fires can be seen from the next city... you think JRR Tolkien used that method for communication between cities in Lord of the Rings, by chance?!?!

I decoded the pyramid and know its one true purpose. ... our other star/sun left us to take up a cycle around Jupiter. Ever since the planets cycles around the single Sun have been managed by "others" They have to as the horizontal band of one star drives global Tsunamis..thus we have Atlantis installed. The cycles make certain areas unlivable during certain times of the year and for a 1000 years or so. sus my channel. Atlantis the final straw. Plenty of other vids.

  • It’s kind of crazy you can still buy and sell the ancient panels that were obviously taken from the area in the 1970’s lol. The provenance obviously definitely doesn’t date back even a century and at some point they became smuggled out. It’s understandable this happened in the past, but the fact these artifacts are still being sold with all we know about where they came from is weird to me. Looted art should be able to be reclaimed even if it’s been resold, because buyers should have done their due diligence and realized it’s stolen and one day could be returned.

    • There's a very simple, but huge, difference...who gets the stuff, and how they got it. A looter steals only things of value, takes no information, destroys what they don't want or can't sell, and the finds (usually) end up in private collections. An archaeologist takes care in their excavations, records *all* the finds and data for the dig, and the artifacts end up where the public can see them and others can study what was recovered. Bottom line...in many cases the sites *are* going to be disturbed...sooner or later. The question comes down to whether or not 'we' want it to be by a scientists, or a thief.

    • Looters and Archeologists are like night and day. Looters take artifacts from archeological sites without regard for where they were discovered or the circumstances or interesting facts that could very well be vital to understanding the history of the artifact. A golden crown swiped from a big site without it background information more or less becomes a decorating implement for someone's house. However, if you attach to that same crown background information including where it was excavated, its history, and any other important background information it becomes a vital piece of cultural history to be placed in a museum. I understand the temptation to loot for many of the locals living in poverty...however, chances are besides erasing history, they're more than likely not getting much return for their efforts dealing with some of the more unsavory blackmarket types.
