Transcript

00:00We just got dropped off on this 2,000-year-old ancient temple.

00:04But we're so high up.

00:05We'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.

00:26But 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.

00:42That's fine with me.

00:42There's booby traps.

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?

00:51Oh, 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.

01:11That 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.

01:24This is so sketchy, Jimmy.

01:25I can'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.

01:37Now 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.

01:49The 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.

01:57Whoa.

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.

02:08Don't tell anybody.

02:10Okay.

02:10I totally won't show 200 million people.

02:13That'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.

03:06Over 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.

03:16But 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.

03:36No one really thought that was a llama.

03:37Can we talk about this for a while?

03:37You 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 lake.

03:42Yeah, I thought you were smart.

03:45And after I picked on Nolan,

03:46Nolan returned the favor to Tariq with the spider.

03:49Tariq, don't move.

03:49Stop, stop.

03:50Wait, wait, wait.

03:53Tariq'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

04:01used to exist over 2,000 years ago.

04:04This 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.

04:12The Mayans are crazy, man.

04:17Whoa.

04:18This is huge.

04:19Yeah.

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.

05:02How about this one?

05:03How about this one?

05:04You're telling me the king

05:06didn't build a hidden treasure room 2,600 years ago?

05:08Maybe, yes, but it's hidden.

05:10With 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 goodness.

05:19Yo, there's so many bats.

05:21They just flew right behind our heads.

05:22The Mayans, 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's a Mayan treasure there,

05:32it's under tons of...

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!

05:44For me, this is a real treasure.

05:47Oh!

05:49Oh, yeah.

05:50You gotta get out of here.

05:51You gotta get out of here.

05:52There's absolutely no treasure here.

05:53But there's still one more temple

05:55that might have treasure.

05:56And because it's already dark out...

05:57Boys, light your torches

05:59and let's go on an adventure.

06:01Our torches go out

06:02before we get to an ancient temple.

06:03I'm going to be very sad.

06:04Temple.

06:06Temple.

06:07This is so much cooler

06:08with just torches.

06:10Let's see what this bad boy looks like.

06:12I feel like an ancient adventure.

06:14But as it turns out...

06:15All right, it's a dead end.

06:16This didn't go well either.

06:17Everything's a dead end.

06:18Oh!

06:19Oh, my God!

06:20What was that?

06:21There's like a monkey up there.

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

06:27because I have a big surprise for 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.

06:37Because 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.

06:45All right, we gotta go.

06:47Let's go explore some more temples.

06:50And where we're going

06:51has some of the craziest ancient remains

06:53ever built by mankind.

06:55And to kick off this location,

06:57we're gonna visit this bad boy,

06:59which the Mayans used to call

07:00the gateway to the underworld.

07:02Back in the day,

07:03there used to be giant fangs here.

07:04What happened to them?

07:06They fell off.

07:07That seems logical.

07:08Let's go explore.

07:09Whoa.

07:10This is awesome.

07:11There's some very special features

07:13that I love,

07:13like that structure in the middle.

07:15Wow.

07:15I'm gonna guess this building

07:16was the temple.

07:17Was it for sacrifices?

07:19Yes, you guys.

07:19Yes!

07:20I guess I'm right!

07:21What a nerd.

07:22I lost his hat.

07:23But what our guide really wanted to show us

07:25was a cave which Mayans believed

07:27humans emerged from.

07:28The Maya believed that

07:29humanity came from a cave.

07:31Deep inside of there

07:32is what they call the Tree of Life.

07:34And they believed that

07:34all of us spawned from this

07:35very majestic, beautiful tree

07:37deep in this cave.

07:38It's so sacred that

07:39we're gonna do a ceremony

07:40to ask for permission

07:41to the spirits of the cave.

07:42If I was a betting man,

07:43I'd say the spirits

07:44are gonna reject Nolan.

07:46And as we entered the caves...

07:47Whoa.

07:48Okay.

07:49This definitely looks sacred.

07:51We were met with the ritual

07:52our guide spoke of.

07:53What is he doing now?

07:54He's purifying the entrance of the cave.

07:57And it's here

07:57where we would seek

07:58the approval of the gods.

08:00Naturally,

08:00I wasn't worried at all.

08:02But we're the gods

08:03really about to let Nolan

08:04enter this sacred place.

08:05I hope they accept me.

08:10I 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

08:24officially on our side,

08:25we started our journey

08:26for the Tree of Life.

08:27But the deeper into the cave

08:28we went,

08:29the hotter it got.

08:30Is it just me

08:30or is it only getting hotter

08:31in this cave?

08:32He's getting hotter

08:33and the air is gonna be

08:34more difficult to breathe.

08:35More difficult to breathe.

08:36Yeah.

08:36I ran.

08:37The deeper you go

08:38in the cave,

08:38the thinner the air gets.

08:39I don't know

08:40if you can see the sweat.

08:41This is really hot here.

08:42This cave just keeps on going.

08:44But at least there's no bats.

08:45Everything you guys

08:46are seeing now,

08:46the Mayans didn't want us to see.

08:48They literally tried

08:49sealing this off.

08:50Imagine being a Maya

08:502,000 years ago.

08:52See this beautiful cave

08:53and all of a sudden,

08:54see this beautiful room.

08:56Whoa.

08:57And the amazing tree.

08:58Oh.

08:59Am I the only one

08:59that thought the Tree of Life

09:00was an actual tree?

09:02Yes, this is it.

09:03This is a sacred saber

09:04that holds the sky.

09:05Are these pots around it

09:07the same pots the Mayans created?

09:08Yes, sir.

09:09So the tall ones,

09:10they put incense

09:11and they burn it

09:12to get the attention

09:13of the gods.

09:13This is very cool.

09:15If you were a Mayan

09:16thousands of years ago

09:17and actually believed

09:18that this is where

09:19humans came from,

09:19I understand why they

09:20thought this was so sacred.

09:22Of course, of course.

09:23But this cave

09:24is about to get

09:24really dangerous

09:25because where we're going next,

09:27we will literally need

09:28an oxygen tank to breathe.

09:30Why do I keep doing things

09:31in videos that could kill me?

09:32So after a few deep breaths

09:40to top off on oxygen,

09:42how 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

09:50onto something

09:51because at the literal

09:52first thing our guide

09:53wanted to show us,

09:54Oh, I'm dizzy.

09:56Are you good?

09:57No, I'm good.

09:58Whether you like it or not,

09:59you're going to get some oxygen.

10:00Breathe.

10:02Anyways, what were you saying?

10:03Well, there's some

10:04ceramic butt shards.

10:06Whoa.

10:07This is so cool.

10:08Can I take one home?

10:10Well, I do.

10:10We'll go to jail.

10:11I would go to jail?

10:12Yes, here.

10:12All right.

10:13I won't take one home.

10:15I can't believe

10:16they actually believe me.

10:17They're so cool.

10:19They're so cool.

10:20I found a boy

10:20that didn't scare them.

10:21Look at all the bats

10:23in this tunnel.

10:24Let's continue.

10:25Wait, I actually,

10:26unironically,

10:26I don't know,

10:27do bats bite humans?

10:28I found a hiding spot.

10:30Oh, there's a bat.

10:31Jimmy, get you a hit

10:32of this oxygen.

10:33So we're only getting deeper.

10:34Here, get you some.

10:35Air is getting thicker.

10:36But as we got closer

10:37to the end,

10:38we were confronted

10:39by the final boss

10:40of this secret tunnel.

10:41See those, uh,

10:43the stalactites?

10:44Oh, weesh.

10:45Jimmy, behind you

10:46is the biggest spider

10:46in the world.

10:47Oh, my God.

10:48What did the Mayans

10:49give the insects down here?

10:50Why do you think

10:51the world's largest spider

10:52is at the end

10:53of a secret tunnel

10:54in the most sacred

10:55place of the Mayans?

10:56It's protecting something.

10:57What do you think?

10:57I think so.

10:58So instead of fighting

11:00the final boss,

11:01we let the secret tunnel

11:03keep its secrets.

11:05Oh, my gosh.

11:07That was terrifying.

11:08I almost threw

11:09the oxygen tank

11:09right at your face.

11:10And after escaping

11:11with our lives,

11:12we were exhausted.

11:13So we headed

11:14to our new camp

11:14to turn in.

11:15Because not only

11:16were we going to need

11:17our energy

11:17for the seventh wonder

11:18of the world,

11:19but for day four,

11:20I wanted to know

11:21what the Mayans did

11:22for fun.

11:22Starting with...

11:23The first ever

11:24team-based game

11:25to use a ball.

11:25Over 3,000 years ago,

11:27the Mayans invented

11:28the game of pits,

11:29where you score

11:30by shooting a ball

11:31through a small hoop,

11:32kind of like basketball.

11:33Only you can't use

11:34your hands or your feet.

11:35But remember what we said

11:36all the way back

11:37in day two.

11:38The losing captain's

11:40head would get cut off.

11:41The head?

11:42Ah!

11:47Ah!

11:48This is hard.

11:48I'd say we're going

11:49to get the hang of it.

11:50And although we started

11:51to get a handle

11:51on the ball,

11:52it's safe to say

11:53we were still far

11:54from scoring.

11:55So I even brought

11:56in our camera guys

11:57to help out.

11:58But even then,

11:59failure after failure

12:00only brought us

12:01countless more failures.

12:03Wait, wait, wait.

12:05No!

12:07We might not ever score.

12:08But in ancient times,

12:09giving up meant

12:10literally losing your head.

12:12No one?

12:12You better stand up, bro.

12:13And so failure

12:14after failure

12:15continued until...

12:18Oh!

12:19Oh!

12:20Oh!

12:21Oh!

12:22Oh!

12:23Oh!

12:24Oh!

12:25Oh!

12:26And after

12:26a long day

12:27of this brutal sport,

12:28the surviving players

12:29might have celebrated

12:30by heading down

12:30a sinkhole

12:31for a relaxing dip

12:32in the natural pools.

12:33And while I'm not

12:34cutting any heads off,

12:35Nolan did lose

12:36at pits.

12:37Oh!

12:38Ah!

12:39Is the water cold?

12:40No, it's kind of refreshing.

12:41Oh, is it?

12:42Yeah.

12:44Get on it!

12:45Woo!

12:47This water feels amazing!

12:49It doesn't look like

12:50you think it feels

12:50a little bit.

12:51Oh, it's so cold!

12:52And although a swim

12:53in the cenote

12:53is refreshing, the craziest Mayan temple, a literal seventh wonder of the world, is still to come.

12:59But first, a classic Mayan dinner. So everything you're seeing here is what the Mayans used to

13:05eat over a thousand years ago. As you've heard throughout this video, they worship the corn god.

13:10And if you don't know, corn is a main ingredient in tortillas. Whoever's editing this, did the

13:15Mayans invent tacos, yes or no? To our final night, cheers. Enjoy the Mayan tacos. And to wrap

13:22of the night, we have a special Mayan dessert, the brand new Feastables peanut butter cups. Wait,

13:28brand new, but it's a Mayan dessert? Don't ask questions, it's dessert. Here you go. The king

13:32of marketing over here. Oh, look at how much peanut butter is in there. Isn't it sad that there are

13:35humans on this earth whose taste buds have not been blessed with the brand new Feastables peanut

13:40butter cups? So if you want an ethically sourced, amazing tasting snack, make sure you reach for

13:45Feastables. It's good. The only Mayan-approved snack on the planet. Before I go to sleep, I want to let

13:50you guys know that I'm giving away $500,000 to 10 random people that subscribe to the channel.

13:55No joke, my birthday is coming up, and to celebrate 10 random people that subscribe to the channel,

13:59we'll win $50,000 each. Thanks to Jack Links, the best beef jerky, for providing me with this

14:04awesome birthday present. And I'll see you guys at the seventh wonder of the world.

14:08And with the last remaining hours of our trip here, it's the moment you've all been waiting for.

14:13The seventh wonder of the world, the Temple of Kubo Kahn.

14:17Whoa, this is so cool. I can't believe we're actually here.

14:21Kukul Kahn is one of the seven wonders of the world, partially for its grand size, but weirdly

14:26enough, also for the way it sounds. The Mayans somehow constructed this in a way where if you

14:31clap in front of it, you hear what sounds like a laser coming back at you.

14:38All right, anyways, what we actually came here for.

14:41At the top of this pyramid is a temple so sacred to the locals that no one is allowed up there,

14:46which begs the question of what Mayan secrets lay in that ancient room.

14:50Out of respect for the culture and all the people who hold this very sacred, we are not

14:55going to touch the temple. Instead, we're going to fly this drone up to see what's in that

14:59secret room. You cool with this?

15:01Yeah, this cool.

15:02Godspeed.

15:04Oh my gosh, this looks so majestic.

15:07I'm dying to know. All right, let's see what's in this room.

15:12Wait.

15:12Arthur, the room's empty.

15:15Well, 500 years ago, the Spanish came here and they take a lot of the stuff inside.

15:22But before everything was sadly stolen, this is what historians believe the seventh wonder

15:26of the world looked like. I'm not going to lie, it's actually very beautiful.

15:31And while we didn't find any gold, I'm grateful that I could even visit these ancient monuments

15:35and share with you guys. Thank you so much.

15:38Guys, I love you, Mexico. It's been great. See you later.
