Summary

This exclusive retreat blends archaeological discovery with spiritual immersion, offering you a rare chance to experience the profound wisdom and mysteries of the Maya.
Why Guatemala?Guatemala is a cradle of ancient civilization and a haven for spiritual seekers. From the mirror-like waters of Lake Atitlán, ringed by volcanoes, to the jungle-clad temples of Tikal, this magical country offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect deeply with both Earth and Spirit. The legacy of the Mayans, with their cosmic wisdom and sacred rituals, continues to resonate in the land, providing a profound backdrop for transformation and renewal.
Guatemala + Atlantis
Guatemala holds a profound connection to the mystical legacy of Atlantis through the enduring wisdom of the ancient Mayans. Many believe that the Mayans inherited their advanced knowledge of astronomy, sacred geometry, and spiritual practices from Atlantean teachings passed down through the ages. Lake Atitlán, revered as the “Navel of the World,” is often seen as a spiritual portal linked to Atlantis, its volcanic waters echoing the energy of this lost civilization. As you journey through Guatemala’s sacred sites, you’ll feel the threads of this ancient lineage awakening within you, inviting a deeper connection to the cosmic mysteries that unite past, present, and future.

| 0:00.0 | Oh my God, this is a special edition of Earth Ancients. |
| 0:25.5 | We haven't had, my God, in many months, we haven't had a special edition. |
| 0:29.1 | We've got to start pushing these out a little more frequently. |
| 0:33.0 | And the reason we have special editions, they aren't the typical interview topic for archaeological ruins, lost civilizations, everything that we typically cover on Earth ancients. |
| 0:48.0 | The special editions coming from the archives, that's something else. |
| 0:53.0 | That's remembering people who have passed on, |
| 0:56.1 | capturing a specific target topic and other past material. Today, we are talking about |
| 1:03.9 | the Atlantis-Maya connection as it pertains to Guatemala. Now, I have been to Guatemala once when I was very |
| 1:13.3 | young, like I'm in my 20s, and I kind of ran through the place. And I knew from the people that |
| 1:20.8 | I met there that it was very special. And it had a special feel to it. But of all the locations, |
| 1:26.4 | and I'm talking about all of Mexico, |
| 1:29.2 | all of the Yucatan, which is really kind of my forte, the Yucatan Peninsula, because I've been there |

| 1:52.9 | are the calendrical specialists. |
| 1:55.4 | These are mathematicians from a sacred science, from a sacred mathematics, from a cosmology, we really don't |
| 2:03.8 | understand. We don't understand most of the information that we think we know about the Maya. |
| 2:11.6 | They're an ancient culture that develop their own science, their own math, their own engineering, |
| 2:17.3 | and we are arrogant to think |
| 2:21.2 | that we understand and know them. And it's a challenge for me. I have a great respect for the |
| 2:27.0 | archaeological community, but they have to maintain a certain level of so-called expertise. And as our friend Ed Barnhart likes to tell us, |
