Talakalel. 118 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:51,630 Talakalel. 119 00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:53,370 Thank you. 120 00:10:53,510 --> 00:10:58,030 I look forward to working with you all and discovering my... 121 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:04,020 my ancestral homelands, and presenting the rich and powerful heritage of my 122 00:11:04,020 --> 00:11:07,760 people, the chosen people, in your museum. 123 00:11:08,260 --> 00:11:14,000 Many artifacts and symbols of our sophisticated culture are still hidden 124 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,180 within the temple of Quetzalcoatl. 125 00:11:17,340 --> 00:11:21,160 Dr. Rapaz, this includes our Quetzalcoatl. 126 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,500 Few pieces like it ever survived the Spanish conquest, and none have been 127 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:27,700 unearthed fully intact. 128 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,880 we may have the rare opportunity to recover the first Ehikakotskato in one 129 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,740 for the first time in six centuries. 130 00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:40,200 How can you be so sure? 131 00:11:40,940 --> 00:11:46,600 Well, most people say the temple was destroyed, and those who have searched 132 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:52,180 it come home empty -handed, if they've come home at all. And why is that? 133 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,300 Because a group of Quetzalcoatl cultists make human sacrifices. 134 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,700 But I thought that Quetzalcoatl was against the practice of human sacrifice. 135 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:04,560 True. 136 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,580 But this group, if the legends are true, of course, believe that sacrifices 137 00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:13,260 would get them closer to Quetzalcoatl. 138 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,440 That only the truest of true believers could commit such acts. 139 00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,700 So it will likely be a small temple, since it was a small cult. 140 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,000 It's most likely swallowed up by the jungle for six centuries. 141 00:12:28,010 --> 00:12:30,330 We could be venturing into nothing, though. 142 00:12:31,410 --> 00:12:35,930 Nothing, but... There's always a risk, but we mitigate that risk by having 143 00:12:35,930 --> 00:12:37,990 experts like Senor Talakilal to guide us. 144 00:12:38,990 --> 00:12:43,390 No one has seen or even touched a fully intact Iheka Katsukato. 145 00:12:44,090 --> 00:12:45,090 No one? 146 00:12:45,570 --> 00:12:50,510 No one.
