The Maya Worshiped Turkeys
The Maya worshiped turkeys, Thanksgiving and Black Friday had a bizarre history, and weird news about ancient history: all this and more on this latest edition of Edge of Wonder with Rob Counts.
Strange turkey facts and Black Friday shopping data kick off this Thanksgiving special. Then hear a Thanksgiving ghost story that’s more than 120 years old, what scientists are saying about alien civilizations using artificial intelligence (AI), and new discoveries about ancient civilizations on Earth.
Most interesting of all, Rob did a deep dive on the Maya people. The Maya revered turkeys so much, they may have worshiped them. But the details are even more shocking, indicating that the Maya culture was much more advanced than we’re led to believe.
