Two archaeologists visit Chichen Itza - Ep 174

ENCORE: We recently had the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza in Yucatán, Mexico. It was an incredible experience, but, being archaeologists, we of course came away with more questions than were answered! In this episode we give a brief overview Mayan civilization, including Chichen Itza, and then talk about our experience on an incredibly touristy tour! The take away is, do a little research ahead of time (like listening to this podcast!) to help prepare yourself before visiting the site!

Lost City in Luxor, LiDAR in Tikal and Harriet Tubman's Father's Home - Ep 120

This week, on the archaeology show, we take a look at a couple new(ish) discoveries that have been in the news this week. First, an extremely well preserved city in Luxor Egypt has been discovered and dated to the reign of Amenhotep III. Next, LiDAR helps researchers discover a new monument in Tikal that appears to be influenced by the people of Teotihuacan, the future conquerers of Tikal. And finally, archaeologists in Maryland believe they have found the home of Ben Ross, Harriet Tubman's father.
