To give a quick rundown, the Chontal Maya who were seafaring and claimed direct descendancy from the Olmec, were communicating and trading with the Calusa culture which is the Southern 1/2 of Florida. That is in the history books, South FL is where we first see maize(corn) appear and also where the shell mounds began being built around the dawn of the Woodland Period.

Something of interest. Palenque. In the area above the tomb, there is a work showing Pacal and his son facing each other. His son shows definite signs of being of mixed race. Its very clear. Pacal was said to be over 7 feet tall and his son towers over him close to 10 feet. It is also written in the tomb that his son was born after the likeness of the "first mother".
Pacals son also is shown with 6 toes and fingers. His size and extra toes/finger is consistent with skeletal and historical records of large men elsewhere. He matches the size and description of the historical Goliath. I am not saying that this son Chan Bahlum is related to the giants elsewhere mind you or am I saying anything about space men so please.
Most of the above info about Pacal and his son were gleaned form "A Forest of Kings" written by Maya researcher Linda Schele and David Freidel. They believe that Pacal represents a combined linage of two tribes or lines. The first Mothers line going all the way back into the historical darkness of a great catastrophe that struck the earth and from which her descendants escaped.

Sorry guys, the whole "Maya Blue" thing is bunk.
There were at least two "mines" for the clay. Studies have already used chemical analysis to to source them. The National Geographic Society helped foot the bill. Over 167 samples were taken and matched to their respective mines.
I saw the show and thought it was sensationalist, so I dug a little bit. Sorry, but the clay CAN be accounted for.

The site is also open to the public, I have no idea why the "government" didn't allow him access. Anyone that pays for parking can hike on in along several trails.

Not in this season but who knows about the future. Hopefully the show will be popular and History Channel will produce a second season.

The Maya influenced aboriginal Native North Americans HEAVILY in the South East.
