Voices In The Stones Catching The Sun

For years, the mysterious stone carvings of the Mayans remained impenetrable, preserving their secrets from archaeologists working to uncover the truth about the culture that once dominated Central America. VOICES IN THE STONES travels to Copan, Honduras to meet Dr. Linda Schele, who finally broke the code of these ancient etchings. An artist turned scientist, Dr. Schele reveals how she learned to "read" these ancient pictures. See how her team of archaeologists, anthropologists and epigraphers are working together to decipher the thousand-year-old messages. Next, CATCHING THE SUN journeys deep into a gold mine in South Dakota, where the most precious commodity isn't the coveted metal, but knowledge. For 30 years, an experiment has been underway that may well lead to a breakthrough in particle science and revolutionize our understanding of the most fundamental elements of matter. Join physicists Ray Davis and Ken Lande as they reveal what they hope to discover deep beneath the Dakota soil.
