The Magnificent Maya
Hidden deep beneath centuries of jungle overgrowth until the mid 1800s, the secret splendor of the magnificent Maya remains an enigma to researchers and scholars. Capable of complex civilization, art, astronomy, math and science dating back to 300 BC, the reasons for their rise and demise are still unclear, despite the fact that there are more than 4 million Maya alive today. What do we really know--and why don't we know more?

The Mystery of Quetzalocatl: The Christ of Ancient Mesoamerica?
The central figure in the pantheon of Mesoamerican gods, Quetzalcoatl remains much of a mystery. Considered the creator god, and the messiah of humanity, the Feathered Serpent God was also believed to be a man who actually lived as the son of a Toltec warlord, and yet unlike the traditional Mesoamerican race, Quetzalcoatl was described as blue-eyed, fair skinned, blonde, and bearded. Who was Quetzalcoatl the man, the myth, the messiah?
