Ancient Aliens

The Maya civilisation flourished for over two millennia, developing sophisticated cities and cultural achievements. Recent research suggests there may be evidence hinting that the Maya encountered visitors from beyond Earth.

The Lost City of the Maya is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls under the genre of an episode‑type documentary, offering a focused look at one particular subject rather than a series‑long narrative. In this episode the creators outline how the Maya civilisation flourished for more than two thousand years. The programme highlights the remarkable longevity of the culture, tracing its development and achievements across many centuries. A further point the episode raises is the existence of possible evidence that the Maya may have come into contact with extraterrestrial visitors. The material presented suggests that some artefacts or records could be interpreted as indicating an interaction beyond Earthly origins. By combining the story of the Maya’s extended history with the speculative notion of alien contact, the episode provides viewers with a concise overview of both the established archaeological record and the more controversial theories that have emerged in recent discussions.
