As an added note, I saw "Apocalypto" and learned that the time period  
depicted was after the Zapotec substantially changed the older Mayan culture,  just 
as the Spanish arrived to the Yucatan. Not being an expert in this period  or 
culture, others have told me the gory scenes closely depict descriptions  
written by Spanish chroniclers of the time. This is the first movie on this  
culture in that time period that I have seen since some really bad attempts back  
in the 1950s. I was also heartened not to have to see the Spanish impact on  
those people.
