10. Review of Apocalypto as Mayan History (MSNBC News)
    "There’s plenty to argue about in Mel Gibson's 'Apocalypto' – and we’re not just talking about the actor/director’s bad behavior and controversial views. Anthropologists and modern-day Mayans are arguing about how much truth there is in Gibson’s gripping, violent tale of an ancient civilization on the brink."
    
    Elin Danien, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology disagreed with Mel Gibson's view of the Maya as depicted in the movie. " 'His view that the Maya were corrupt from within and were saved by the Spaniards is nonsense,' she said. 'The Spaniards destroyed everything they encountered. Yes, it's true that the cities of the Peten, of what we call the Classic Maya period, were abandoned in the 10th century. But there were cities in the Yucatan, there were cities on the Pacific coast of Guatemala that were going full blast when the Spaniards arrived.' " 12-06
