Mysteries of Mesoamerica & the Mayan King Pakal / Luke Caverns

Who were the mysterious Olmecs and how did they move their massive 50 ton stone heads? Did the Olmecs possess ancient technology that allowed them to precision craft jade mirrors and jewelry? What were the events that led to the discovery of the great Mayan King Pakal's tomb? Why are there so many mysteries surrounding this ruler? Was he considered a "giant" in his day? And why are the photos of his strange tomb door and his skull so hard to come by? I discuss these topics and many more with researcher, explorer and anthropologist Luke Caverns in the episode.
