The LONGEST INHABITED CITY in the ancient MAYA world | Exploring LAMANAI

David Miano and Cassie Thompson cross the border into Belize to find the ruins of the ancient city of Lamanai, which is nestled in the forest next to the New River Lagoon. This ancient city sports many fabulous pyramids, including the Temple of the Jaguar, Temple of the Masks, and the High Temple, from which you can get a beautiful and breathtaking view of the jungle and the water. Learn about travel in Belize. Professor Miano also explains some of the basics of Mayan hieroglyphics.

We hope you enjoy watching this #antiquitiestravelguide about #Lamanai as much as we enjoyed making it.
