Lost Worlds Is An IMAX Film Focused on the Environment
Harrison Ford narrates Lost Worlds, which begins with a visit to the Mayan City of Tikal in Guatemala, which is the home of the black jaguar. Tikal is a lowland city in the small country which is known for its volcanoes. It was abandoned before the Spanish arrived. When Hernan Cortez landed in Mexico and Central America, the Mayans left the lowland areas and fled to the mountains. The Spanish priests who sailed to the New World with Cortez declared that the Mayan religion was a work of the devil and all but a few books or codices were burned. Only three of them survived in European cities. As a result, it took several centuries to decipher them. Thanks to the work of American and Russian (yes, Russian) scholars, we now have accurate information about the Mayans. One of the leading American scholars was a child who spent his summers in the Maya area digging with his parents. He was awarded a McCarthur genius award.
Lost Worlds also visits the endemic life of the Tepuis-an...
not about the mayans
The video wanders. Also, it fails to live up to its description. It barely mentions the Mayans. I found the video hard to watch.
Good content ruined by poor film to video transfer
The content of the presentation was good but unfortunately it was difficult to overlook the poor visual and audio quality. The colors were flat and the picture, at times, appeared to be blowing in the wind as if my projection screen were outside on a windy day.
