E47 | Through your eyes | Mexico: Chiapas

Sophie and Pongo go back in time to learn about the Mayans in a great adventure through the tropical forest where the most beautiful ruins have been preserved. In Palenque, Sophie plunges into Mayan mythology with their descendants. They teach her the different uses of the forest: to feed, to heal or object of worship. Yaxchilan is a pre-Columbian city-state. This is the key to understanding the religious and political role of the Jaguar dynasty, the former rulers in the 7th century A.D.
