Were Mayan blood sacrifice rituals more about social manipulation than religious belief? Do the first and second sections of this film relate as strongly as the abandonment of ritual and subsequent fall of the empire seem to? Was the stock footage shot in Chichen Itza but claimed to be in Tizal? This 12 minute documentary may or may not hold the key to these questions' gummy, rust-laden padlocks. If you enjoy learning what parts of a king's face got poked with needles, or how much dead people knew about math, then Mayans: Deception By Temple Ritual is for you!
