From grad school to groundbreaking discovery! 🌿🔍 Trekking through Belize's dense jungle in 1994, we finally spotted our first ancient Maya house after days of machete work. Not the massive ruins we dreamed of (yet), but every archaeological journey starts somewhere! #MayanArchaeology #FieldworkFinds

This myth started with a tour guide's joke in the 70s (he admitted it recently).😱
While prisoners might have faced sacrifice after ritual games against kings, the "winners die" story is pure fiction.

The Hidden Power of Moai Statues 🗿✨
Moai statues weren't portraits but vessels for ancestral spirits. The final, crucial step? Adding shell and obsidian eyes that "activated" the statues, imbuing them with ancestral power that radiated outward to sustain and protect the entire village.
