00:00We just got dropped off on this 2,000-year-old ancient temple.
00:04Oh, 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 for 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.
01:11No, 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.
01:23This 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?
01:44It 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.
01:57Wow.
01:57This was made over 1,000 years ago.
01:59Yes.
01:59Which 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,
02:26and people have even died to jaguars here.
02:29Well, we survived Snake Island.
02:31Wait, no, we're in...
02:32Is that a monkey?
02:34Sir?
02:35Sir?
02:36Sir?
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.
03:36No one really thought that was a llama.
03:37Can we talk about this for real?
03:37And 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 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.
03:50Wait, wait, wait.
03:50Wait, 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 used to exist
04:02over 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.
04:392,000 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 Glock 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
05:06didn'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, good job.
05:19There'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.
05:34Bat 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,
05:45this is a real treasure.
05:47Oh!
05:48Oh!
05:48Oh!
05:48Oh!
05:49We got to get out of here.
05:50We got to 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.
06:05Temple.
06:05Temple.
06:07Temple.
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!
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.
06:46We 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 going to 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.
07:06That 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 going to guess this building
07:16was the temple.
07:17Was it for sacrifices?
07:19Yes, you guessed it.
07:19Yes!
07:20I guess I'm right.
07:21What a nerd.
07:22I lost his hat.
07:23What 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
07:35from this very majestic,
07:37beautiful tree deep in this cave.
07:38It's so sacred
07:39that we're going to 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 going to 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, I wasn't worried at all.
08:02But were the gods
08:03really about to let
08:04Nolan enter this sacred place?
08:05I hope they accept me.
08:12I think it's good.
08:13Oh.
08:14What is 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 we went,
08:29the hotter it got.
08:30Is it just me
08:30or is it only getting hotter
08:31in this cave?
08:32It's getting hotter
08:33and the air is going to be
08:34more difficult to breathe.
08:35More difficult to breathe, yeah.
08:36It's so hot right here.
08:37The deeper you go in the cave,
08:38the 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.
08:44But at least there's no bats.
08:45Everything you guys are seeing now,
08:46the Mayans didn't want us to see.
08:48They literally tried sealing 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 the sacred seba
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 of 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 humans 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 really 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?
09:35It is so...
09:36So, 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.
09:58I'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 pot shards.
10:06Wow.
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, sir.
10:12All right.
10:13I won't take one home.
10:14Dude, I can't believe
10:16they actually believe me.
10:17They're so cool.
10:19They're so cool.
10:20Time to point that and 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 stalactites?
10:45To me, behind you
10:46is the biggest spider
10:46in the world.
10:47Oh, my gosh.
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 place
10:55of the Mayans?
10:56It's protecting something.
10:57What do you think?
10:57I think so.
10:59So instead of fighting
11:00the final boss,
11:02we 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 out 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.
11:26Over 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?
11:46Oh, this is hard.
11:48I'd say we're going to
11:49get the hang of it.
11:50And although we started
11:51to get a handle on the ball,
11:52it's safe to say
11:53we were still far from scoring.
11:54Oh!
11:55So I even brought in
11:56our camera guys
11:57to help out.
11:58But even then,
11:59failure after failure
12:00only brought us
12:01countless more failures.
12:02We might not ever score.
12:08But in ancient times,
12:09giving up meant
12:10literally losing your head.
12:12Nolan, you better
12:13stand up, bro.
12:13And so failure
12:14after failure
12:15continued until...
12:17And after a 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 at pits.
12:37Is the water cold?
12:40You know, it's kind of
12:40refreshing.
12:41Oh, is it?
12:41This water feels amazing.
12:49It doesn't look like
12:50you think it feels
12:50different.
12:51Oh, it's so cold.
12:52And although a swim
12:53in the cenote
12:53is refreshing,
12:54the craziest Mayan temple,
12:56a literal seventh wonder
12:57of the world
12:58is still to come.
12:59But first,
13:00a classic Mayan dinner.
13:03So everything you're
13:04seeing here
13:04is what the Mayans
13:05used to eat
13:05over a thousand years ago.
13:07As you've heard
13:07throughout this video,
13:08they worship the corn god.
13:10And if you don't know,
13:11corn is a main
13:11ingredient in tortillas.
13:13Whoever's editing this,
13:14did the Mayans
13:15invent tacos?
13:16Yes or no?
13:17To our final night,
13:18cheers.
13:19Enjoy the Mayan tacos.
13:21And to wrap up the night,
13:23we have a special
13:24Mayan dessert,
13:25the brand new
13:25Feastables peanut butter cups.
13:27Wait, brand new,
13:28but it's a Mayan dessert?
13:29Don't ask questions.
13:30It's dessert.
13:31Here you go.
13:31The king of marketing
13:32over here.
13:33Oh, look at how much
13:33peanut butter is in there.
13:34Isn't it sad
13:35that there are humans

13:57and to celebrate
13:5710 random people
13:58that subscribe to the channel

14:01Thanks to Jack Links,
14:02the best beef jerky,
14:03for providing me
14:04with this awesome birthday present.
14:05And I'll see you guys
14:06at the seventh wonder
14:07of the world.
14:07And with the last remaining
14:09hours of our trip here,
14:10it's the moment
14:11you've all been waiting for.
14:13The seventh wonder
14:14of the world,
14:16the Temple of Kukul Khan.
14:17Whoa, this is so cool.
14:19I can't believe
14:20we're actually here.
14:21Kukul Khan is one
14:22of the seven wonders
14:23of the world,
14:24partially for its grand size,
14:25but weirdly enough,
14:26also for the way it sounds.
14:28The Mayans somehow
14:29constructed this in a way
14:30where if you clap
14:31in front of it,
14:32you hear what sounds like
14:34a laser coming back at you.
14:38All right, anyways,
14:39what we actually came here for.
14:41At the top of this pyramid
14:42is a temple so sacred
14:44to the locals
14:44that no one
14:45is allowed up there,
14:46which begs the question
14:48of what Mayan secrets
14:49lay in that ancient room.
14:51Out of respect
14:51for the culture
14:52and all the people
14:53who hold this very sacred,
14:54we are not going to
14:55touch the temple.
14:56Instead, we're going to
14:57fly this drone up
14:58to see what's
14:59in that secret room.
15:00You cool with this?
15:01Yeah, this cool.
15:02Godspeed.
15:05Oh my gosh,
15:06this looks so majestic.
15:08I'm dying to know.
15:09All right,
15:09let's see what's
15:10in this room.
15:12Wait.
15:13Arthur,
15:14the room's empty.
15:15Well,
15:16500 years ago,
15:18the Spanish came here
15:19and they take
15:20a lot of the
15:20stops inside.
15:22But before everything
15:22was sadly stolen,
15:24this is what historians
15:25believe the seventh wonder
15:26of the world
15:27looked like.
15:28I'm not going to lie,
15:29it's actually
15:30very beautiful.
15:31And while we didn't
15:31find any gold,
15:32I'm grateful that
15:33I could even visit
15:34these ancient monuments
15:35and share with you guys.
15:36Thank you so much.
15:38Guys,
15:38I love you,
15:39Mexico.
15:39It's been great.
15:40See you later.
15:41Bye-bye.
15:46Bye-bye.
15:48Bye-bye.
15:49Bye-bye.
15:49Bye-bye.
15:50Bye-bye.
