Lecture: "Lost Cities, Tombs, Treasures, and Ethics"

Vanderbilt University professor of anthropology Arthur Demarest speaks on the topic, “Lost Cities, Tombs, Treasures, and Ethics: Solving the Ancient Mysteries and Battling the Modern Oppression of the Maya." Using images from his archaeological fieldwork, Demarest “will address time, prophecy, and the social universe of ancient Maya civilization,” the college says. His work has become a vehicle for combating economic and political oppression of modern-day Maya in Guatemala, the college says.
