Na Maya/The Maya

Travel back to Maya civilisation as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.

Deep in the rainforests of Central America, in countries like Mexico, Guatemala and Belize lived a tribe called the Maya. They created a sophisticated alphabet, had manuscripts called codices and clever ways to count; even inventing the zero.

The Maya had a complete writing system - picture symbols called hieroglyphs. Today, our History Hunters are on a mission to create a Mayan-style coded message that will tell their friends how to find their cubby house.

The Maya were also famous for their pottery. They didn't have modern technology and relied on basic tools and the History Hunters have to use similar methods to create their own pots.

In the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne make Maya music from vegetables and turn beans into a treat we still love today.

Extracted

Extracted features 12 untrained competitors attempting to survive extremely grueling conditions, perilous terrain, and the threat of fearsome predators in the unforgiving Canadian wilderness. Meanwhile, some miles away, their family members are locked down at a secluded headquarters watching them navigate their dangerous surroundings alone via a 24/7 live feed. The fate of each untrained contestant in the wilderness lies in the hands of their family members back in HQ. Each amateur survivalist's family has the power to decide whether their loved one has what it takes to brave the elements and fight to be the last one standing, or whether the family will push the ominous "Extract" button and remove their loved one and their whole family from the competition. Extracted begs the question: how far will their loved ones let them go for a chance for their family to win $250,000?  

Tensions mount and strategic alliances are forged, as the opposing families negotiate and compete to send essential lifelines and resources to their competitors in the wild, to help them endure the harsh conditions they are faced with. Pressure reaches a fever pitch as each family is faced with the critical decision – will they push their loved one to the brink or push the Button?
