Problem
Screen Engineering an Empire: Maya AND Cracking the Maya Code (or Breaking the Maya Code*).
Questions to consider:
1. Did either of these documentaries help you better understand Maya culture?
2. What factors helped and/or hindered scholars most as they wrestled to decypher the Maya code?
3. Why do you think the work of Tatiana Proskouriakoff was initially dismissed? And the work of Yuri Valentinovich Knorosov as well?
4. What architectural feats impressed you most?
