Centinelas del silencio

Centinelas del silencio
An aerial visit across the archaeological sites in Mexico, including Teotihuacán, Monte Albán, Mitla, Tulum, Palenque, Chichén Itzá, and Uxmal. The narration highlights aspects of pre-Columbian cultures and focuses on their achievements in mathematics and astronomy, while also questioning how and why these societies seemed to disappear—leaving behind their structures as silent sentinels.
