Filmed on location at numerous sacred sites throughout the Maya
regions, The Mystery of the Maya is the
first giant-screen motion picture to explore the culture, science and
history of the Maya. Told through a modern-day archaeologist and
a young Mayan descendant who cooperate to unravel the secrets of
the past and filmed in IMAX, this production blends dramatic
recreations with actual archaeological excavation, rare archival
material and animation sequences.
Capturing the vastness and grandeur of Maya civilization as only giant-screen motion picture technology can, The Mystery of the Maya takes audiences on a breath-taking trip through a millennium of Mayan history. The Canadian Museum of Civilization presented the world premiere on April 13, 1995.
"It is one of the most spectacular
and informative films
I have ever seen on the Maya."
George E. Stuart, Ph.D, National Geographic Magazine, Washington, D.C.
