00:00We just got dropped off on this 2,000-year-old ancient temple.
00:04While we're so high up, we're surrounded by jungle.
00:06See you later!
00:08Let's go see what we can find.
00:10In this video, we're going to be exploring dozens of ancient temples,
00:13all of which hide ancient Mayan secrets from the world deep underground.
00:18Everything you guys are seeing now, the Mayans didn't want us to see.
00:21Nobody gets to go where we're going,
00:23including exploring one of the seven wonders of the world.
00:27But we only have 100 hours to make discoveries.
00:29Dude, I'm discovering these stairs are huge.
00:31Yeah, I want to find an escalator.
00:33Let's go discover the secrets of the Mayans.
00:35This is the door to the inside of this massive Mayan temple.
00:39Oh, that's a deep tunnel.
00:40Dibs are going first.
00:41That's fine with me, there's boobies out.
00:43This temple is over 2,000 years old.
00:47This is insane.
00:48We're inside an ancient temple right now.
00:50Where are we going? Oh my gosh.
00:52Oh, wow.
00:53The first thing you see in this temple is this giant statue,
00:57which is supposedly the corn god inside of a jaguar's mouth.
01:00This is so beautiful.
01:01My gosh.
01:02I'm going to tell you what I think this means,
01:04and you tell me what it means, okay?
01:05This is a hand.
01:07This is a parade.
01:08That's a toilet.
01:11Wrong.
01:11No, that is not his toilet.
01:14That is his earring.
01:15Yeah, Jimmy.
01:16Oh.
01:16So here's the thing.
01:17This place is actually a pyramid built on top of a pyramid.
01:20So the deeper we go in, the older things get.
01:23Be careful, boys.
01:23So sketchy, Jimmy.
01:24Can't believe the government's letting us do this.
01:26It really is crazy.
01:27Not even archaeologists are allowed to go back here.
01:30How deep underground are we?
01:31And after navigating this ginormous ancient temple,
01:34we finally made it to the inn.
01:36Now that we're at the inn, you said you had a surprise.
01:39Yes, this has been found in the last few decades.
01:42Oh.
01:43Whoa, what?
01:44This is a funerary mask.
01:45This is the face of one of the kings of the snake kingdom.
01:48The Mayans used masks like this one
01:51to shield those that have passed away from dangers
01:53on their journey to the underworld.
01:56Can I hold it?
01:56Yes.
01:57This was made over a thousand years ago.
01:59Yes.
02:00Which means my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents
02:03weren't even alive.
02:04Why is this not in a museum?
02:05Why is a YouTuber holding this?
02:06Get this away from me.
02:07Take it.
02:08Take it.
02:09Don't tell anybody.
02:10Okay.
02:10I totally won't show 200 million people.
02:12That's it for this temple,
02:14but we are in the middle of a giant city
02:16with multiple other ancient temples.
02:19And later in this video,
02:20even visiting the seventh wonder of the world.
02:23Let's find some treasure.
02:24This jungle is full of monkeys, snakes,
02:27and people have even died to jaguars here.
02:29Well, we survived Snake Island.
02:31Wait, no, we're...
02:31Is that a monkey?
02:33Sir?
02:35Sir?
02:36Sir?
02:36Well, guys, this is where we're going to be camping tonight.
02:45Oh, look at these hammocks.
02:46We still have over a dozen temples to explore.
02:48I need you guys to get some good sleep
02:49because this video is just getting started.
02:51Good morning, boys.
02:56Morning.
02:57First things first,
02:58we need to explore the rest of this massive abandoned city.
03:01And looking at it now,
03:02it's hard to imagine what it might have looked like.
03:04And so I'll just show you.
03:05Over 100,000 people used to live in this city.
03:09That's what that used to look like.
03:10This is what they think these roads look like.
03:13There were temples everywhere.
03:14It was flourishing.
03:15But on the inside,
03:17you'd witness magnificent artwork like this.
03:20Oh, my God.
03:20Big area.
03:21Whoa.
03:22This is incredible.
03:23One of my favorite part of these videos
03:24is when we take old paintings and bring them to life.
03:27So, this is our best estimation of what they represent.
03:29Bro, this is so cool.
03:30This is a rare glimpse
03:31into what the life of a Mayan looked like 2,500 years ago.
03:35This is amazing.
03:36Nolan really thought that was a llama.
03:37Can we talk about this for a second?
03:37Nolan, you thought that was a llama?
03:38Because, look, I thought that was the eye,
03:40that was the mouth,
03:41and I thought that was the leg.
03:42Yeah, I thought you were smart.
03:44And after I picked on Nolan,
03:46Nolan returned the favor to Tariq with the spider.
03:49Tariq, don't move.
03:49Stop, stop.
03:50Tariq's going to quit.
03:54My friends have a strange way of having fun,
03:57but the Mayan way was arguably stranger.
03:59We're standing where a ball court used to exist
04:02over 2,000 years ago.
04:03This was the first ever team sport to use a ball.
04:06As far as we know.
04:07Also, the captain of the losing team's head got cut off.
04:10Yes.
04:15The Mayans are crazy, man.
04:17Whoa.
04:17This is huge.
04:18Yeah.
04:19So beautiful.
04:20Why don't we build temples like this today?
04:22Around 2,000 years ago,
04:24this is where the king and his queen lived.
04:26But 2,500 years ago,
04:28this is what it looked like.
04:30Massive crowds of people would gather here
04:32and even wait for hours
04:33just for a chance to see the king.
04:37And here it is today.
04:38Let's go check it out.
04:39Okay.
04:402,000 years ago,
04:41the king would probably stand here
04:43and watch sports from his palace.
04:45Kind of cool.
04:46Oh, my gosh.
04:47It's kind of like a labyrinth.
04:48Yes, because if you want to protect your king...
04:51You make it confusing.
04:52You make it confusing.
04:53Ernesto, be honest with you.
04:54Has anyone ever pressed this block in
04:56to see if it reveals hidden treasure?
04:58I will not do it.
05:01How about this one?
05:03How about this one?
05:04You're telling me the king
05:05didn't build a hidden treasure room 2,600 years ago?
05:08Maybe, yes.
05:09But it's hidden.
05:11With the hopes of finding the king's treasure,
05:13we venture to a cave deep in the jungle
05:15where the treasure may lie.
05:16Hey, Jimmy did not say anything about bats, bro.
05:18Oh, my God.
05:19Joe, there's so many bats.
05:21It is right behind our heads.
05:22The Mayas, they used to think
05:23that this is the mouth of the monster of the earth.
05:26Look above us right now.
05:27We're surrounded by bats.
05:28Thousands of bats swerving us.
05:30Dude, it's a bat tornado.
05:31If there is a Mayan treasure there,
05:32it's on their tons of...
05:33Bat poop.
05:34Bat poop.
05:35I feel like I've already found my treasure.
05:36This is beautiful.
05:37We're going to leave.
05:37There's a lot of bats.
05:38I would prefer if you go faster.
05:40Oh, I got food on!
05:41Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:42Oh!
05:43Oh!
05:43Oh!
05:44Oh!
05:44Oh!
05:44For me, this is a real treasure.
05:47Oh!
05:47Oh!
05:47Oh!
05:48Oh!
05:48Oh!
05:49Oh!
05:49Oh!
05:49Oh!
05:50Oh!
05:50Oh!
05:51Oh!
05:51Oh!
05:52Oh!
05:52Oh!
05:53Oh!
05:53Oh!
05:54Oh!
05:54Oh!
05:55Oh!
05:55Oh!
05:56Oh!
05:56Oh!
05:57Oh!
05:57Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:58Oh!
05:59Oh!
05:59Oh!
06:00Oh!
06:01Oh!
06:01Oh!
06:02Oh!
06:03Ancient temple, I'm going to be very sad.
06:04Temple!
06:05Temple!
06:06Temple!
06:07This is so much cooler with just torches.
06:10Let's see what this bad boy looks like.
06:12I feel like an ancient adventurer.
06:14But as it turns out, all right, it's a dead end.
06:16This didn't go well, either.
06:17Everything's a dead end.
06:18Oh!
06:19Oh!
06:19Oh!
06:20Oh my god, what was that?
06:21There's, like, a monkey of this.
06:22Is that a monkey or a jaguar?
06:24Why is this video becoming scary all of a sudden?
06:26Make sure you sleep well tonight, because I have a big surprise
06:28for you in the morning.
06:29Let me guess.
06:30You guys thought the dozens of ancient temples
06:32in this city was the entire video.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Yeah, I think so.
06:35Send the helicopter back, because to explore even further,
06:39we were going to need a lift.
06:40I'm climbing these stairs like a dog.
06:42We're almost there.
06:44There's our ride.
06:46We gotta go.
06:47Let's go explore some more temples.
06:50And where we're going has some of the craziest ancient remains
06:53ever built by mankind.
06:55And to kick off this location, we're
06:57going to visit this bad boy, which the Mayans used
07:00to call the gateway to the underworld.
07:02Back in the day, there used to be giant fangs here.
07:04What happened to them?
07:06They fell off.
07:07Seems logical.
07:08Let's go explore.
07:09Whoa.
07:10This is awesome.
07:11There's some very special features that I love,
07:13like that structure in the beetle.
07:15Wow.
07:15I'm going to guess this building was the temple.
07:17Was it for sacrifices?
07:19Yes.
07:19You guessed it.
07:20Yes.
07:20I got something right.
07:21What a nerd.
07:22Throw lost his hat.
07:23Well, what our guide really wanted to show us
07:25was a cave which Mayans believed humans emerged from.
07:28The Maya believed that humanity came from a cave.
07:31Deep inside of there is what they call the tree of life.
07:34And they believe that all of us spawned
07:35from this very majestic, beautiful tree deep in this cave.
07:38It's so sacred that we're going to do a ceremony
07:40to ask for permission to the spirits of the cave.
07:42If I was a betting man, I'd say the spirits
07:44are going to reject Nolan.
07:46As we entered the caves.
07:47Whoa.
07:48OK.
07:49This definitely looks sacred.
07:51We were met with the ritual our guide spoke of.
07:53What is he doing now?
07:55He's purifying the entrance of the cave.
07:57And it's here where we would seek the approval of the gods.
08:00Naturally, I wasn't worried at all.
08:02But were the gods really about to let Nolan
08:04enter this sacred place?
08:05I hope they accept me.
08:12I think it's good.
08:13Oh.
08:14What's he doing?
08:17Is he good?
08:20Come on.
08:21The spirits didn't reject him.
08:22Thank goodness.
08:23So with the gods officially on our side, we started our journey for the tree of life.
08:27But the deeper into the cave we went, the hotter it got.
08:30Is it just me or is it only getting hotter in this cave?
08:32It's getting hotter and the air is going to be more difficult to breathe.
08:35More difficult to breathe, yeah.
08:36It's so hot right now.
08:37The deeper you go in the cave, the thinner the air gets.
08:39I don't know if you can see the sweat.
08:41It's really hot here.
08:42This cave just keeps on going, but at least there's no bats.
08:45Everything you guys are seeing now, the Mayans didn't want us to see.
08:48They literally tried sealing this off.
08:49Imagine being a Maya 2,000 years ago.
08:51See this beautiful cave, and all of a sudden, see this beautiful room.
08:55Whoa.
08:56And the amazing tree.
08:57Oh.
08:58Am I the only one that thought the tree of life was an actual tree?
09:01Yes, this is it.
09:02This is the sacred saber that holds the sky.
09:04Are these pots around it the same pots the Mayans created?
09:07Yes, sir.
09:08So the tall ones, they put incense, and they burn it to get the attention of the gods.
09:13This is very cool.
09:15If you were a Mayan thousands of years ago, and actually believed that this is where humans
09:19came from, I understand why they thought this was so sacred.
09:22Of course, of course.
09:23But this cave is about to get really dangerous, because where we're going next, we will literally
09:28need an oxygen tank to breathe.
09:30Why do I keep doing things in videos that could kill me?
09:32It is so stressful.
09:36Yeah!
09:39So after a few deep breaths to top off on oxygen, how deep are we going?
09:43About two football fields.
09:44Yo, I'm going to stay up here.
09:46You're always backing out on it.
09:47He said there was no oxygen.
09:48I don't want to hear it.
09:49And Nolan may have been onto something, because at the literal first thing our guide wanted
09:53to show us...
09:54Oh.
09:55Whoa.
09:56I'm dizzy.
09:57Are you good?
09:58I'm good.
09:59I'm good.
10:00Whether you like it or not, you're going to get some oxygen.
10:01Breathe.
10:02Anyways, what were you saying?
10:03Well, there's some ceramic pot shards.
10:06Whoa.
10:07This is so cool.
10:08Can I take one home?
10:09Well, I do want to go to jail.
10:11I would go to jail?
10:12Yes, here.
10:13All right.
10:14I won't take one home.
10:15Dude, I can't believe they actually believe me.
10:17They're so cold.
10:18They're so cold.
10:19They're so cold.
10:20Time to boil that and scare them.
10:22Look at all the bats in this tunnel.
10:24Let's continue.
10:25Wait, I actually, unironically, I don't know, do bats bite humans?
10:28I found a hiding spot.
10:29Oh, there's a bat.
10:30Jimmy, get you a hit of this oxygen.
10:32Because we're only getting deeper.
10:34Here, get you some.
10:35The air is getting thicker.
10:36But as we got closer to the end, we were confronted by the final boss of this secret tunnel.
10:41See those stalactites?
10:43Oh!
10:44Wee!
10:45Jimmy, behind you is the biggest spider in the world.
10:46Oh, my God!
10:48What did the Mayans give the insects down here?
10:50Why do you think the world's largest spider is at the end of a secret tunnel in the most sacred
10:55place of the Mayans?
10:56It's protecting something.
10:57What do you think?
10:58I think so.
10:59So instead of fighting the final boss, we let the secret tunnel keep its secrets.
11:04Oh, my gosh!
11:07That was terrifying.
11:08I almost threw the oxygen tank right at your face.
11:10And after escaping with our lives, we were exhausted.
11:13So we headed to our new camp to turn in.
11:15Because not only were we going to need our energy for the seventh wonder of the world,
11:19but for day four, I wanted to know what the Mayans did for fun.
11:22Starting with...
11:23The first ever team-based game to use a ball.
11:26Over 3,000 years ago, the Mayans invented the game of pits.
11:29Where you score by shooting a ball through a small hoop.
11:32Kind of like basketball.
11:33Only you can't use your hands or your feet.
11:35But remember what we said all the way back in day two.
11:38The losing captain's head would get cut off.
11:41The head?
11:47This is hard.
11:48I say we're going to get the hang of it.
11:49And although we started to get a handle on the ball, it's safe to say we were still far from scoring.
11:54So I even brought in our camera guys to help out.
11:57But even then, failure after failure only brought us countless more failures.
12:01We've had countless more failures.
