Synopsis

In the heart of the Mesoamerican jungle, vast Mayan cities once thrived, ruled by god-kings. But between 500 and 700 AD, total war erupted as the ambitious Serpent Kings of Calakmul challenged the might of Tikal. Alliances, betrayals, assassinations, and dark rituals plunged the civilization into chaos — a true Game of Thrones. Within a century, the greatest kingdoms collapsed, swallowed by the jungle. Today, thanks to technologies like LIDAR, archaeologists are finally uncovering the epic and tragic story of this vanished empire.
