"Mystery of the Mayan Medallion"

The secrets of an ancient world await at the Museum of the Great Plains as you step back in time to the world of Palenque, Mexico, where the Mayan prospered for thousands of years.

In this immersive exhibit, visitors will be transported to Palenque, where an archaeological team has mysteriously disappeared from a dig site while investigating rumors of a priceless jade medallion buried in the ruins.  Parents and children can follow the clues the team left behind to locate the precious medallion.  But, visitors are urged not to forget to heed the warning signs to avoid the same fate.

This exhibit uses the mystery and intrigue of the Mayan empire to explore math, science and history in a unique and interesting way sure to capture the attention of all who visit.

There is a rumor that the Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012.  Might this be true? 

The Mystery of the Mayan Medallion was developed by The Arkansas Discovery Network and funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.
