Benjamin K @RT27528678 Aug 7 Beyond the Ruins challenges everything you were taught and think you know about the ancient Maya. It’s a powerful transformation of a man’s fascination for culture and love for travel into a journey of self-discovery that shines a light on a people once thought to be lost to time. The documentary highlights the importance of cultural preservation and the need to sometimes adapt to the changing world around you. It's a great documentary that reinforces the idea that we can learn from the past and apply ancient philosophies to create a better future for the environment and for humanity.
