Who Killed the Maya This video series was very interesting to watch because I really had no real knowledge of this culture or what they were about.

the ancient Maya culture as a super-cruel‚ psycho-sadistic civilization. This movie illustrates the life of tribesmen who live in a fear to sacrifice their lives. They always have to keep themselves prepared to escape from the enemies and save their family‚ their villages from destruction. This movie was very adventurous and successful historical based movie; however‚ its depictions of original cultures generated controversy. I think‚ this movie was an inaccurate representation of the Maya culture.
