Digging for Answers

  

One Hour Series

The ancient Maya city of Palenque in Mexico is notorious for its alleged spaceship - a carving of king Pakal, in a scene that some believe resembles the controls of a spacecraft.
Is it a spaceship? Did aliens visit ancient worlds?  Is there real evidence?

Well...

Archeologists David and Marijke are experts in the ancient world. Comparing Pakal’s tombstone with the evidence and recorded myths brings a far more interesting conclusion - the “spaceship” is the tree of life opening its underground roots for the king, passing on in death. Pakal is not rocketing to the stars, he is falling into the underworld - and leaving behind a city on the edge of a startling and violent collapse.
