(Brotherhood Expedition: Maya)

We're going into the future, but we're going into the past.

It's time travel.

(To uncover the secrets...)

(of the treasure box,)

(The Maya exploring party was given missions.)

(Eating,)

(drinking,)

(and sleeping in Maya)

Oh, my knee.

(Throughout their journey to collect the keys,)

(the Maya exploring party fully experienced the Mayan civilization.)

(The ninth key...)

(is the Science of Maya.)

(To Chichen Itza, the place Dr. Cha has been waiting to visit!)

(Before we go,)

(let's all eat chicken soup together.)

(Seung Won's suggestion...)

(turns into a chicken soup feast with 50 staff members.)

(The Maya exploring party prepares diligently.)

(But...)

(The water is not working.)

(There are so many ingredients they need to prepare.)

(Will they be successful in cooking chicken soup for all?)

(List of ingredient preparations for chicken soup)

(Wash the vegetables a lot.)

(Mince 1kg of garlic.)

(Prepare 25 chickens.)

Can someone...

fix the water...

(Shaking his head)

(There seems to be a problem.)

No, I mean the water pressure.

(No, I mean the water pressure.)

Who's going to fix the water pressure?

(Now there is a problem with the water pressure?)

This is a problem.

(The water does seem weak.)

- The tap outside is strong. - It's strong?

- The hose outside... - Really?

- Yes. - I should wash it there, then.

- You'll wash them there? - Yes. I will.

I'll prepare a bucket for you.

Thank you.

(Seung Won grabs some things...)

(and moves outside.)

Where is it?

(Looking like he owns the place)

Where is the water?

Here.

(Water pouring out)

This is much better.

Bring me a container for the excess chicken bits.

- Oh, a container... Okay. - Yes. A trash can.

(The way they communicate is fascinating.)

(A quick chicken delivery)

- Let me know if you need anything. - Okay.

- Thank you. - Sure.

(Now that Sung Kyun is gone,)

(and he has some peace and quiet,)

(how long will it take Chef Cha to prepare one chicken?)

(Just 1 minute per chicken)

I've never seen so much chicken in my entire life.

(But there's a lot of chicken left.)

(For a chicken soup meal for the whole staff)

- Is it okay? - Yes.

There's so much chicken.

(Chef Cha has never prepared so many chickens in his life.)

(Meanwhile, Ju Yeon has taken a seat at the outdoor table...)

(and is about to start peeling garlic.)

(Tumbling)

(Coming through.)

(It's hard to concentrate.)

(Sighing)

(The garlic is also hard to peel.)

(Changing his posture to peel garlic)

(Garlic, you punk.)

- This is insane. - What?

This garlic is insane.

(This garlic is insane.)

I'll join you soon.

(Feeling lonely)

(The reason Sung Kyun can't join the garlic peeling)

I'll join you after I wash these.

- Okay. Take your time. - Okay.

(He has to wash all of these.)

(Plus 1 more)

(Nicely placing 2 bowls)

(The vegetable he's preparing...)

(is lettuce?)

- I just need to wash these, right? - Of course.

I'm going to season it.

(Chicken soup's partner,)

(Geotjeori)

That must be delicious.

(Chef Cha will season it for us.)

(Washing it ahead of time to save time the next morning)

(But...)

There's no water coming out. We can't do anything at that sink.

(Then where are you going?)

(To the bathroom)

(Totally full)

(The Yangpyeong farmer washes the lettuce quickly.)

(Sweating bullets while washing lettuce)

(Eventually, Ju Yeon takes a seat on the floor...)

(for some intense garlic peeling.)

(The Maya exploring party is working hard to make...)

(chicken soup for everyone on their last day in Maya.)

How many chickens are there?

(It looks like a lot, but he's only half done.)

(Shooting water)

(Suddenly putting on a water show)

(They are each working hard in their own positions.)

What time is it? It's 10:20pm?

(Washing chicken with eyes half-closed...)

(in the middle of the night in Mexico)

(Why did I suggest a team meal?)

(Something has appeared.)

What is that?

What is that?

(What is that?)

Darn it.

(Darn it.)

We've come to a troublesome house. Oh, goodness.

(Even the cameraman was surprised by the unexpected event.)

(What's going on?)

Where is it coming from?

(A sprinkler suddenly appeared at 10:30pm.)

Why are there so many issues? Gosh.

(His bottom got wet.)

(He's not sleepy anymore.)

(Glancing over)

(This house is just as mysterious as Maya.)

(All we wanted was to have some chicken soup together.)

- All together. - That would be great.

(Shaking his head)

(Meanwhile, the raw chickens are enjoying a nice shower.)

(While Seung Won boils up with frustration,)

(the chickens are getting nice and moist.)

Sung Kyun. What are you up to?

- Are you peeling garlic? - He's washing something.

Oh, okay.

(Ju Yeon is only focused on garlic.)

Gosh. This house has many issues.

I thought something was off, and it's the same thing again.

(Returning to the kitchen because of an unexpected problem)

(Grabbing a bucket...)

(and going outside?)

(He puts the bucket over his head...)

(and charges forward.)

(He's not a thief.)

(A rare sight)

(Ju Yeon's point of view)

(In the middle of all of this, he organizes his spot.)

Oh, goodness.

(Words of frustration shoot out like water from a sprinkler.)

(Barely rescuing a chicken...)

(and throwing it in the bucket for now)

(While Seung Won cleans up while getting showered,)

(Sung Kyun finishes washing the lettuce.)

(Returning to the kitchen...)

(with lettuce in his arms.)

(Looking for the right time to talk)

There are two buckets of these.

(Trying to get Seung Won to approve of his work)

Let's see. We need more.

(Your work has been sent back.)

(Leaving sadly)

(Going to the bathroom again)

(He never expected to wash this much lettuce.)

(A sad and busy-looking bottom)

(This is the sound of lettuce being washed.)

(It is said that Sung Kyun continued to wash lettuce for a while.)

(The chicken he rescued earlier)

(Rewashing the chicken that was attacked by the sprinkler)

(Behind Seung Won, who is happy and humming again...)

(is the lettuce phantom from the underworld.)

(Waiting for approval)

(I must escape the lettuce nightmare.)

(What will he say this time?)

- It's nice. - Really?

- That's good. - Really?

(He can't help but laugh.)

(All he has to do now is put it in the fridge in a container.)

It's over.

(Done with lettuce nightmare)

Ju Yeon. I'm here.

(There is no time to rest. Onto the next nightmare.)

The garlic is so tough today.

- There is so much skin. - The insides...

I think this is the most garlic we've had to peel.

Korean people eat so much garlic.

- If you put it in water first... - Yes?

The skin comes off if you just do this.

(I see you were very bored, Ju Yeon.)

That makes sense.

I'm getting the feel for it, though.

There's a crazy amount of garlic today.

- They're even small in size. - They are very small.

Yes. They are small.

(Fighting the final boss on the last night of their trip)

- They're very hard to peel, right? - Yes.

How much minced garlic? How much do we need to peel?

This much.

(Looking over)

This isn't nearly enough.

(Watching the Maya exploring party struggle to prepare the meal...)

We...

We felt you were working too hard to cook a meal for all of us...

- Yes? - Especially the garlic.

It seemed it would take you quite a long time,

so we peeled some.

- Oh, really? - Gosh.

Really? How much did you peel?

This much?

(A bowl of minced garlic)

Peel more. Hurry.

(The work was sent back.)

- Should we peel a bit more? - We don't have any more garlic.

- There's no more garlic? - Yes.

- There is a lot over here. - Right.

Peel that.

- We'll try. - Give them two-thirds of that.

- Okay. - Have them peel it.

(Garlic trading ceremony)

(Oh, my)

- We peeled a lot, right? - Yes.

- We'll peel this too, okay? - Yes.

Yes. Thank you.

(Take care of our garlic.)

- They're buttering us up. - Yes.

Now that they've given us garlic...

(He's feeling happier.)

- It's working, right? - Yes.

Okay. Just make sure it doesn't fly away.

- Oh, nice. - Like this?

- Yes. A little at a time. - A little at a time.

(Working hard)

- There's no blender, right? - There is.

- What? - There is.

(We have a blender?)

- There's a blender? - Yes.

- Where? - Can we use it?

(Looking around)

(They got so used to the Molcajete that they forgot about blenders.)

- Can we use it? - Yes. Of course.

- Where's the blender? - Over there.

- We have one? - Over there.

- What? - There was a blender.

(Quickly bringing it over)

There you go.

(Plugging it in)

(The beautiful sound of modern technology)

This is perfect.

(Blending)

Gosh. We had forgotten about modern technology.

We were using a mortar instead.

(Experiencing a whole range of various tools)

Going from the past to the present. Thank you.

(Looking forward to the grand chicken soup meal)

Let's finish the rest in the morning.

(The night in Merida deepens.)

(The passionate night passes,)

(and the last morning of their Maya exploration comes.)

(Current time, 6:00am)

(Quiet)

(There is no one to be seen in their lodging.)

(The staff are not here.)

(The Maya exploring party isn't here either.)

(In this quiet place,)

(the Maya exploring party worked late into the night.)

(They are still passed out.)

(Sung Kyun and Ju Yeon sleep in the same posture.)

(Where is Seung Won?)

(Door squeaking)

(He is awake.)

(He's already washed his face and applied hair dye.)

(Seung Won takes care of himself.)

(Heading straight to the kitchen even before the dye is dry)

(Moist)

(Looking around)

(What will Chef Cha do in the kitchen first thing in the morning?)

(The bucket is over here.)

(What is he looking for?)

(A small pot?)

(Putting chickens in the small pot)

(Checking firepower...)

(with a small batch before cooking 50 servings)

(Will it cook well?)

(First, he'll rinse the dye out.)

(Cooking for 5 minutes)

(Cooking for 10 minutes)

(Cooking for 15 minutes)

(Cooking for 20 minutes)

(It started to boil after 20 minutes.)

(Checking the pot after getting all washed up)

(Steam rising)

(Seeing the soup boil well makes Seung Won whistle.)

(The test is now over!)

(It's finally time...)

(to use the bucket.)

(The chickens he carefully prepared late into the night)

(10 chickens)

(And 10 more chickens)

(And 5 more chickens)

(In total, 25 chickens!)

(Heave-ho)

(He places it on the stove...)

(and adds drinking water.)

(A staff member arrives.)

Hello, Director.

(He's up already?)

I'll make it delicious. Just wait for a while.

I'll make it delicious.

(The camera team rushes in following the smell.)

(Filming it hurriedly)

- Excuse me, Director. - Yes.

Let me add this.

Go in. Done.

(See you soon.)

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- You're up. Yes. - Good morning.

What's this?

It will boil up soon.

(Amazed)

Ju Yeon, did you sleep well?

- Yes, I had such a good sleep. - Hey.

- Did you sleep well? - Your eyes are shining.

- Did you sleep well? - Yes.

What should I do?

There's nothing to do now.

That just needs to boil.

(After 30 minutes,)

(he goes to check it.)

Goodness.

(Is there a problem?)

I thought it would start boiling soon,

but it's not boiling.

Why isn't this boiling?

(Quite a long time has passed, but it's still the same.)

When I tried it with three chickens,

it started boiling in just 20 minutes.

Gosh. Why isn't it working?

(He's stewing over it.)

(Let me see.)

It would be nice if it boiled up just once.

(It's tantalizing him by looking close to boiling but doesn't.)

Is something wrong?

(What caught Sung Kyun's eyes...)

(was firewood.)

Let's start a fire.

(If the fire is not strong, I can start a strong fire!)

(Seung Won's savior gets to work!)

(Whenever Seung Won was in crisis,)

(he started the fire easily...)

(with stunning ideas, such as using oil and paper.)

The fire's burning up now.

(The man of fire)

(Can the man of fire solve the issue today as well?)

This...

At first, the fire...

Can you pass me the firewood?

(Sung Kyun, a prepared man)

(He has a reliable assistant today.)

(Securing the space)

(He piles up the firewood for the fire to start well.)

- Cooking oil. - Did you pour cooking oil on it?

(Ignite it and put it between the firewood.)

Paper towel. This is paper too.

(He successfully starts a fire.)

- The fire looks strong. - Yes.

Whatever it is, it's hard to start the fire,

but once you start it,

- That's right. - it blazes up well,

no matter what you put in.

(But...)

(there's only smoke.)

- It's not extinguished, is it? - What? No.

(Sweating)

Why is it not...

(Even though he adds firewood zealously...)

I think the wood is damp.

(The wood is damp?)

(Yes, it's because of me.)

It's a mess in various ways.

Right? It's a mess in various ways.

(Because of the "various" thing that sprinkled moistly,)

(the firewood is damp.)

I think the wood is damp.

(Because he set fire to wet wood,)

(he just cries nonstop.)

This isn't working well.

This...

(It's not catching on fire well.)

(My eyes hurt.)

It must've become damp. The day before yesterday...

- It absorbed water. - Yes, it must've absorbed water.

(Teary-eyed)

(Rushing)

This is trouble.

(A moment of crisis occurs.)

(Fire, the most important component, is weak!)

(If this continues, we won't be able to boil it.)

(If this continues, we won't be able to boil it.)

(Walking away)

(I remembered.)

(He decides something and heads to the kitchen!)

(He seems to be looking for something.)

(Looking around)

(Here it is!)

(What is Chef Cha looking for?)

(A pot?)

(2 pots?)

(He pours water into the pots?)

(What is he going to do with the small pots?)

(When the water boils,)

(he transfers it!)

(He seems to want to increase the temperature...)

(by pouring boiling water in it.)

(He boils and pours endlessly.)

(After repeating it for a long time, steam really rises!)

Are you boiling water here and adding it there?

- I think it will boil soon. - I see.

I think it will boil soon.

- That one? - Yes.

(It feels like it will start boiling soon.)

(Extra boiling water is delivered)

I have a good feeling about this.

Hold on.

Do they have that?

(He came all the way to the front yard to look for something.)

(What is Chef Cha desperately looking for?)

(Firewood?)

(Chef Cha's living tip: Put a heavy object on the pot...)

(to cook quickly, the same way a pressure cooker cooks.)

(Nodding)

I'll set up the timer for now.

Since it's the 39th minute now...

- Okay. - Okay.

- Look at it boil. - Yes.

It's rising, right?

- It sounds like a pressure cooker. - Right?

(Mimicking a pressure cooker)

(A pressure cooker?)

(You're listening to two actors imitate a pressure cooker.)

(Imitating a pressure cooker)

(Mimicking a pressure cooker releasing gas)

(Laughing)

- Stop it. - Okay.

(Spinning the basin out of nowhere)

I suddenly feel good.

(Humming)

(As he hummed,)

(he imitated a pressure cooker for a long time.)

That's what it sounds like.

(Satisfied)

Look.

(The chicken soup pot is steaming.)

Let's take it out. I think we can take it out now.

(Did it cook well?)

I'll open it.

All right. In 1, 2, 3. Okay.

(Boiling brilliantly)

(It's very steamy...)

(because it was boiled so well.)

Look. Come here.

This is how it should be. Look.

- This is amazing. It's boiling. - Is it boiling?

Let's take it out. I think we can take it out now.

(Shall we take them out then?)

Okay.

(Take out the well-cooked chicken.)

They're cooked really well.

Can I eat one with salt now?

You can do that.

That would be nice.

It's okay. I'll hold myself back.

- Good job. - I held myself back.

If you ate it with salt, I was going to bury you in salt.

I'll have the perfectly cooked dish.

Actually, it tastes good as it is.

That's right. With that broth.

It's a mountain of chickens.

(Mountain of chickens)

- On a mountain of chickens - It's done.

(We climb)

- Go now. - Chicken

- Wait, I... - Yes.

- Now... - We need to tear them, right?

We need to do it together. I'll teach you how.

For this...

(Now that the chickens are well-cooked...)

Look. It's like this now.

Tear them into pieces this big.

Just this size.

- Like this. - Yes.

So it is crushed.

Don't crush it too much, though.

(Tearing)

(The younger members endure the heat and separate meat from bones.)

Put the bones back in here.

- It's hot. Be careful. - Okay.

- There's a lot, right? - Yes.

I thought there would be little.

- This is... - There's a lot.

plenty.

Amazing. It's good.

(As they endure the heat and separate meat from bones...)

We're done.

(Piled up)

That's enough. Just this much.

(The bones separated from meat...)

(go back into the broth.)

- You put them back in. - That's right.

To brew them completely.

All right. That's done.

(Making garnish with meat)

(He adds the green onion that he prepared yesterday.)

- Gosh. - Garlic.

(And...)

(chili powder?)

- Should I mix it? - Yes. Mix it.

(He adds chili powder and mixes it?)

(Usually, for chicken soup...)

(you tear the chicken and add it to the broth.)

(But Chef Cha's chicken soup is different.)

(He adds chili powder, so it's refreshing and spicy.)

(North Korean-style chicken soup)

(He adds spice...)

(and mixes it.)

(When Seung Won mixes it,)

(Ju Yeon mixes it too.)

(Decalcomania)

That's right.

(Chef Cha makes chicken garnish...)

(that'll add spice to the chicken soup.)

That's amazing.

It turned out well. It turned out really well.

(It looks good already.)

That's good. Put it here now.

- Can you wash this for me? - Okay.

- No, just wipe it. - The water?

Yes, with a paper towel. I need it for the geotjeori.

(Geotjeori is a must when you eat chicken soup.)

Half of this.

(Lettuce geotjeori is perfect with chicken soup.)

Ju Yeon. Like this.

- Yes. Tear it? - Yes. We must.

(He adds the sauce immediately.)

(A spoonful of minced garlic)

(Plenty of chili powder)

(Add anchovy sauce, concentrated plum, and sesame oil.)

(Then add sugar...)

(and ground sesame and salt.)

(Lastly, add cooking wine.)

- Watch how I mix this. - Okay.

- From the bottom up. - Okay.

- Gently? Okay. - Gently.

- So it won't break? - Like this. Yes, so it won't break.

Gosh, this really whets my appetite.

(The geotjeori retains its texture.)

(The pupils...)

(watch intently.)

(If you watched me closely...)

- Try it now. - Yes.

(They do it carefully, just as they were taught.)

- Gently. - Yes.

(They mix the geotjeori with care.)

We have to give color to it. Watch this.

(He tastes it.)

(Chili powder, anchovy sauce, and sugar)

(I don't need measurements.)

Try it, Sung Kyun.

Let me taste it.

(Will it be okay even without measurements?)

(Savoring)

We add sesame oil, and we're done.

(Ju Yeon takes a big bite too.)

(His smile tells it all.)

- Should we have a bowl of rice? - Should we?

(It reminds you of white rice.)

- We can each have a bowl. - Right.

We can move this and use the leftover.

- A washbasin bibimbap. - Yes.

(He looks at Seung Won.)

(Eating)

(He tries another piece.)

It's making me salivate.

(It's making me salivate.)

- Don't mix it anymore. Leave it. - Okay.

- Also... - It's spicy and good.

- Shall we have another piece? - Yes.

(Now that's... Gosh)

Now that's... Gosh.

(He pretends like he wasn't eating.)

Stop eating.

(He got caught.)

(They finish the geotjeori that they couldn't resist.)

(Everything is ready.)

- Let's move it. - Okay.

(The younger members made a fire.)

- Let's put it here. - Okay.

- Just a bit more. - Here?

- Good. Okay. - Is it good?

(Goodness)

- That's good. - It's nice.

(Chicken soup boiled for a long time)

(Sweet and spicy geotjeori)

(And garnish too)

You can come now. Tell them to come and eat.

(The staff members start to gather.)

- Give me your plate. - Yes.

(Warm soup)

It's hot. Wait a second.

Make sure to add salt, Director.

Okay. Enjoy the food.

I'll get some more.

(Chef Cha's food service is crowded because of the hungry staff.)

Thank you.

- We can do this. - Give me a lot of meat.

Okay. Don't worry.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Some of that. - Okay.

(Service is complete.)

- Can we eat now? - Yes.

Let's have a lot.

(The Maya exploring party is ready to eat now.)

(They take chicken soup...)

(and geotjeori.)

Okay.

(Shall we eat now?)

- Let's eat now. - Yes.

(They put a lot of effort in the meal since last night.)

Sit down. Let's eat now.

- Good work. - Good work.

- Try it. - Yes.

Gosh, I'm hungry.

- Enjoy the food. - Enjoy the food.

- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.

(The staff members start eating.)

It's good.

(Thank you for the food.)

(They're enjoying a proper meal.)

(It's really good.)

(Everyone is happy.)

I'm tearing up.

Try it. Make sure to add salt and pepper.

- Here. - That makes it better.

(Plenty)

I'm going to have a lot of rice.

(I'm going to have a lot of rice too.)

- Thank you for the food. - Try it, Ju Yeon.

- You're going to love it. Try it. - Gosh.

- Gosh. - This is a good restaurant.

It's a good restaurant.

It's so good. It's really refreshing.

Can you start a restaurant with this?

- Start a restaurant with this. - Stop it.

So I can eat this there.

(Feeling proud)

The broth is like samgyetang.

It's really rich.

(It was boiled for a long time for the white and rich soup.)

It's a recuperating meal.

Right?

The meat is so tender.

(Even the chicken is tender.)

(It's like tonic for the Maya exploring party.)

(Exclaiming)

(Savoring)

(Savoring)

(Exclaiming)

Try it with the kimchi.

(They try the geotjeori this time.)

Try it.

(He tries it again,)

(and it still makes him smile.)

- It's not bad, is it? - It's good.

- In a meal like this... - It's the perfect combination.

(Sung Kyun has a piece too.)

It's good.

(The perfect combination makes him keep reaching for it.)

This is amazing, right?

(Chicken soup with geotjeori is just perfect.)

(He keeps looking around while eating.)

(Is everyone enjoying it?)

- Have some more. - Okay.

- It tastes amazing. - Really?

- It's really good. - Director.

(Then have some more.)

There's a lot of meat.

(They go refill their recuperating meal.)

Have some more. There's a lot left.

(His third bowl)

Third bowl. That's good.

Yes. Thank you, Director.

(He's glad everyone likes it.)

(Seung Won also goes for a refill.)

(I'll get a refill too.)

Okay, that's right. A lot of meat.

We have so much meat.

I'll do it for you. Put it there.

- Ju Yeon. Here's some meat. - Yes.

(A lot of meat for Ju Yeon)

- You got more? - Yes.

I'm going to have more meat.

Get some more.

- Yes. I'll be back. - Okay.

(One bowl is not enough.)

(Meal time is busier than usual.)

A lot of meat is left.

- Yes, the meat. - You should have more meat.

More meat.

- Ju Yeon, you must be hot. - Yes. I'm sweating a lot.

I sweated a lot,

- so I put more salt in, - Right.

and it tastes better.

(He finished his rice.)

This is the most I've eaten here.

(He scrapes the bottom of this bowl and finishes 2 bowls.)

That was a perfect meal.

- Right. - That was so good.

I ate like crazy.

(Laughing)

We finished another meal.

(The perfect meal to commemorate their last day)

That really energized me.

It feels good to feed people.

(Before they go on their last expedition,)

(they pack their luggage that stayed with them for 9 nights and 10 days.)

(1 bag for clothes)

(2 bags for clothes)

(Though it's his last day, he makes his bed.)

(Where beautiful youths have stayed, there is a beautiful place.)

(The chili Alberto gave him, Treasure box)

(Their luggage got heavier.)

Goodness. This is a lot of stuff.

Let's get going.

(They head to the ancient Mayan city.)

(Brotherhood Expedition: Maya)

(The Last Key: Science of Maya)

(Dr. Cha wanted to go there so badly.)

(The last destination of their Maya expedition)

(Chichen Itza, the pinnacle of Mayan civilization)

Then, let's walk with heavy feet.

Let's walk with heavy feet.

(Everyone's talking like Seung Won now.)

Let's go.

(To Chichen Itza!)

(Excited)

(Glancing)

Your eyes are so big, and I don't like them.

(What?)

Your eyes are so big, and I don't like them.

I looked in the mirror,

and my eyes were sunken...

from fatigue.

While looking in the mirror, you sometimes...

- Scold myself. - That's right.

Objectively speaking, what you said isn't really true.

"Objectively speaking?"

So, I don't look in the mirror.

(Extreme)

I just feel my face.

Don't you glimpse at it, though?

- I do. - You glimpse.

Looking straight at myself is...

(He can't look straight at his own face.)

My goodness.

(I love it.)

(Sung Kyun always makes Ju Yeon laugh.)

(He learned about Sung Kyun's charm over the last 9 days.)

What do you plan on eating when you get back?

(Pork belly? Gukbap? Kimchi stew?)

Taco?

Oh, taco?

(While reminiscing their time in Mexico)

- Taco. - Taco.

- Now, I... - I want naengmyeon.

- Right, naengmyeon. - Naengmyeon.

- We kept talking about it. - Yes, naengmyeon.

I want naengmyeon so badly.

Ju Yeon, you said you wanted to have seolleongtang, right?

- Seolleongtang? - I want something else now.

- It changed? - Yes.

- I want jjajangmyeon. - Jjajangmyeon?

Jjajangmyeon is nice.

- Ganjjajang. - That's nice.

I really want to eat it.

Jjajangmyeon is nice.

I want to have a really good meal as soon as I get back.

(On their 9th day of exploration, they want to have various foods.)

Something really good.

- I thought about it. - Yes.

I honestly didn't think you guys would adjust to this place.

- Really? - Us?

Because I...

have done something similar before.

- Yes. - But you guys haven't.

But Sung Kyun and Ju Yeon,

you two were so consistent.

How could Ju Yeon be so consistent mentally?

How could Ju Yeon look the same so consistently?

Things like that.

How can he maintain his looks in extreme conditions?

(He looks good all the time in the eyes of his fan)

I really respect that.

- Thank you. - Seriously.

Thank you.

Actually... I'm not just saying this.

We have to get everything filmed in a short period of time.

We have to film our everyday lives.

And when we go to the historical sites,

we have to film the information too.

And it's honestly a really difficult task.

As for us, you led us very well...

and gave us a lot of good food.

- That was big. - Yes.

(There used to be just silence between us.)

(It's a funny team.)

(The three guys were an unexpected combination.)

(Unfamiliar situations and environments)

(It's not beside me.)

(Ju Yeon, be careful!)

(Sung Kyun, be careful!)

(They got sick because of the tough schedule.)

(But they listened to each other.)

(I'll do it. I'm not tired.)

(They helped each other out when necessary.)

(They had fun.)

(Stiff)

(Now, they start laughing just by looking at each other.)

(They were glad to be together...)

(for 9 nights and 10 days.)

You guys did really well. So, I'm very...

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Yes, thank you.

- That's enough compliment. - Okay.

- Let's come back to ourselves. - Okay.

- It's getting on my nerves. - Yes.

If I talk like this for more than a minute,

it hurts my tongue.

(The Maya exploring party has gotten much closer.)

(They're almost at their last destination already.)

We're almost at Chichen Itza.

- "Hotel Chichen Itza." - Yes.

(This tells them that they're almost there.)

At Chichen Itza,

there's something incomparable to the pyramids we went to.

(It's quite different?)

- There's something there. - Yes.

They have not only pyramids...

but also a lot of buildings.

That's right.

It's the center of Mayan astronomy.

Chichen Itza is going to be the peak of our exploration.

I'm looking forward to it.

(He's already excited to see Chichen Itza.)

We're going to Chichen Itza.

(They're excited about going to Chichen Itza.)

(They see a sign near the entrance.)

- There are signs everywhere... - Yes.

guiding our way.

- And it's really exciting. - Yes.

I wonder...

(Dopamine overload)

what it's like.

I want to be there quickly.

This is Chichen Itza.

(This is Chichen Itza.)

Itza not in Korea.

What's the matter?

(That was ridiculous.)

When you get back, you won't be reminded of this at all.

(With excitement,)

(they arrive at Chichen Itza.)

My goodness.

(They arrive at their last spot while groaning.)

(Amazed)

(Yes!)

We're finally here.

- We're finally here. - We're finally here.

- Chichen Itza. - Chichen Itza.

We're finally here.

It's one of the most famous pyramids in Maya.

(It's even on the poster.)

(We're going to see this pyramid.)

I want to get in quickly.

Let's go in.

What would it be like?

I only saw it in a picture this small.

(Seung Won only saw Chichen Itza in a small photo.)

- Ju Yeon, you saw the photo, right? - Yes.

I saw it in a video too.

(They're finally going to see Chichen Itza in person.)

I'm going to be the most impressed.

I haven't seen any of those.

That's possible.

You're such a destroyer of moving moments.

Gosh, I think I'm starting to see it.

(Surprised)

- It's that big? - I see it.

(Even a glimpse makes them exclaim.)

Even from seeing just a part of it,

you can feel how magnificent it is.

They covered it, so you couldn't see it right away.

So you can see it all at once.

This is it.

This is exactly it.

This is it.

Pyramid of Chichen Itza.

(Pyramid of Chichen Itza)

(A part of the 7 Wonders of the World)

(The heart of Maya)

(The center of Mayan science)

(Chichen Itza)

(Chichen Itza: Largest Mayan city that prospered from 600 to 1200.)

(It's one of the most famous ancient Mayan cities.)

(In addition to the pyramid, which is the most famous,)

(various Mayan artifacts can be seen.)

(At the heart of the mystery of Mayan astronomy,)

(the last theme will be explored.)

(The last key: Science of Maya)

(The youngest takes a photo first.)

We're actually seeing this.

(They finally witness the Pyramid of Chichen Itza.)

Gosh. It's even bigger...

than I'd thought.

I thought it'd be two-thirds of this size.

This is really...

(The pyramid is much bigger than Dr. Cha had thought.)

From the architecture,

their confidence...

is just...

(He's speechless.)

Seriously.

All you can do is look up to it.

- You have to look up to it. - Yes.

You have to raise your eyes and look up at it.

It's probably here.

This way.

(The Maya exploring party walks toward somewhere.)

That's right.

Ju Yeon, look at that.

(Goodness)

This is it.

What was the name of it?

(At the front face...)

(of the Pyramid of Chichen Itza,)

(there's a snake's head.)

(This snake is...)

Right. It's Kukulkan.

(Kukulkan, the snake deity with feathers)

(Of the many Mayan deities,)

(he was the most powerful deity worshiped in Chichen Itza.)

(Similar to the Dangun myth of Korea,)

(he created humans out of corn.)

(Yes, he's a creator.)

(This was made to serve Kukulkan.)

- This is Kukulkan. - Right, Kukulkan.

- It's this big. - Yes.

It's that big.

(The Maya geek stares at the pyramid.)

- It's... - There are 91 stairs.

There are 91 here and 91 there.

(How does he know the number of stairs?)

(Since Dr. Cha is too excited to explain,)

(we have an explanation ready.)

That's right. Thirty-six.

(The number of stairs on the Kukulkan Pyramid)

(91 stairs)

You know, 4 times 9 is 36.

There are 364 stairs.

(91 stairs times 4 sides, 364 stairs in total)

The last altar.

You add that and it's 365.

(365 stairs)

(365 stairs equals 1 year.)

(The number of stairs equals the number of days in a year.)

They made this and...

That's why it's called a huge calendar.

(The pyramid itself is a huge calendar.)

I'm actually seeing this here.

- Isn't it amazing? - It is amazing.

It's amazing.

This is our first time seeing such big ones.

- Yes. - Right? Such big Kukulkan.

It's so fascinating.

(From afar, it doesn't look that big.)

(But close up, it's as big as a person.)

(Seung Won whose love for Maya rose up...)

(after seeing the gigantic Kukulkan...)

During the spring and autumn equinoxes,

when the lengths of day and night become the same,

shadows will be cast...

like this and like that.

They calculated that too and...

(Spring and autumn equinoxes and shadows like this?)

So, the shadows are cast...

- on the edge... - Over there.

- There, beside the stairs. - Yes.

That's where the shadows are cast.

When day and night have the same length?

Yes, when that time comes.

(Just twice a year,)

(day and night have the same length.)

(Spring equinox, Autumn equinox)

(During the equinoxes, in Chichen Itza,)

(something fascinating happens.)

On top of the snake's head...

and beside the stairs,

- a feather-like shadow forms... - Yes.

And it looks like the snake is coming down.

(The shape of a descending snake is formed.)

(This snake...)

The snake with wings, Kukulkan.

(is the deity of creation, Kukulkan.)

Behind its body, it forms sharp-looking shadows.

(Chichen Itza has become a site that represents Maya.)

That...

Those people from the ancient times...

- Using nature... - They calculated it.

This utilizes the entirety of Mayan astronomy.

This is marvelous.

(Kukulkan Pyramid)

(The snake shadow isn't it.)

This Kukulkan...

comes down and heads to the cenote.

- To this direction? - Yes, to the cenote.

(The Mayans believed that Kukulkan that appeared in the equinoxes...)

(came down from the pyramid...)

(and went to the cenote, the sacred spring.)

Kukulkan would go in there.

And that's why the cenote glows blue.

(That's why they believed it had the magical blue color.)

It's not just the one from the front stairs.

- All four stairs on each side... - Yes.

head to cenotes.

Like this, to each direction.

With the pyramid in the middle,

(Kukulkan Pyramid is placed...)

the cenotes are located straight from the pyramid.

(where the four cenotes cross.)

How did they plan and calculate that?

- It's a mystery. - Yes.

Nowadays, you can make a blueprint using a computer,

but back then, they didn't even have something like that.

Imagine how magical it must've felt.

There is a bird...

called quetzal...

- that the Mayans considered sacred. - Yes.

- Yes. - Really?

(A bird all of a sudden?)

(Quetzal: A bird in the family of Trogonidae...)

(which the Mayans considered sacred.)

(It's the national bird of Guatemala.)

(Quetzal's feathers)

(It was such a precious bird that they used its feathers...)

(to make Mayan crowns.)

It is suggested that the building was built in such a way...

that if you clapped here,

it would sound like the chirp of that bird.

So if you clap loudly, it sounds like a bird chirping.

- Really? - Is that so?

Try clapping loudly.

- Shall we try? - Let's try.

- Gosh. - What?

- Oh, my. - It really does.

- What sound is this? - What is this?

- It sounds like a bird. - A bird?

(The chirping of a bird echoes back.)

(The Maya geek is moved.)

This is so fascinating.

(Goodness)

(Checking his mood)

That beat sounds very familiar.

- Korea... - It is my land

(The land of Joseon is...)

- It's jajinmori beat. - I see.

This was my first time finding out about this.

- Oh, my. - I didn't know this.

(Dr. Cha found out about the quetzal clap for the first time.)

- How did they plan and build it... - This is so fascinating.

to make it sound like this?

They assume that the sound isn't simply made.

They probably structured it scientifically,

so that the sound could go up the stairs.

Then it means they fully understood...

the resonance of sound and so on.

- How did they do it in advance? - How did they plan this?

That's why this is 1 of the 7 Wonders of the World.

On one hand, it's ridiculous, right?

- Isn't it? It's ridiculous. - It's a bit scary.

- It's scary, right? - Yes.

Look at it with the sky. How magical would it have looked?

- Yes. - And majestic.

- It looks so high even now. - Yes.

They designed all of this.

How are the sides of the stones aligned so nicely?

Did they have a grinder?

They worked on each stone manually.

How did they make this...

during that time? That's what people say.

(They move to the next spot.)

Look. You need to see it from this side. This is...

(A sandstorm happens to blow at that moment.)

This is... Yes, Ju Yeon's expression is perfect.

It's scary.

It's a bit scary.

(They discovered amazing Mayan science...)

- This is so fascinating. This is... - It's so magical.

It's cool.

(deep in the jungle)

(What's another mystery in Chichen Itza?)

Oh, this is what I was talking about.

- This is tzompantli, right? It is. - Yes, it is.

(Tzompantli?)

This is called the altar of skulls.

- It's a tzompantli. Yes. - It has skull carvings.

- Tzompan? - Tzompantli.

- Tzompantli. - Yes.

(Beside the Kukulkan Pyramid,)

(there is an altar.)

(At a glance, it looks like an ordinary altar.)

(But the sides of the altar are full of skulls.)

(Tzompantli means "the altar of skulls.")

(It depicts the skulls of those who became human sacrifices.)

- They offered human sacrifices. - Yes.

- Right? - Yes.

They pierced the heads of the sacrifices...

with long sticks and put them up here.

- Did they display them? - Yes.

So it was full of blood below them.

After they were sacrificed,

they would skewer their heads on wood.

(They displayed skulls at the altar.)

- They skewered it. - They skewered it?

Just like skewering meat.

They skewered them on their temples horizontally like this.

They did have their rituals,

but it was also threatening to others...

and intimidated them. That's what that altar was for.

(An altar that contains Chichen Itza's creepy history)

(It's creepy even in daylight.)

- It's grotesque, isn't it? - Yes.

It's scary.

They used humans as sacrifices.

It was very hot, and rain was very scarce.

The only thing they could do was pray at the sky.

So this was the most desperate and extreme thing they could do.

Making human sacrifices.

(Human sacrifices)

Because of this, the Spanish priest was...

He was shocked.

(Diego de Landa: Spanish priest who first recorded Mayan civilization)

To him, they looked like the children of evil spirits.

So, he burned all of the documents they had.

(He ordered them to burn all of the Mayan documents.)

(Because of that, a lot of Mayan documents were lost.)

(Ironically, "Report of the Affairs of Yucatan,")

(which the priest wrote,)

(became the only comprehensive historical material of Maya.)

So this is tzompantli.

(The altar of skulls, tzompantli)

When this altar was discovered,

they found teeth and pieces of skull.

Human teeth and bones.

(Some parts of Maya did not sacrifice humans.)

(But it is presumed that human sacrifices were common...)

(in Chichen Itza.)

- Gosh. - Goodness.

- It feels a bit creepy here. - Yes, it's creepy.

- It even has skull carvings. - Right.

There still may be bones underground.

It's so terrible. It's scary.

(They move to another spot before Sung Kyun cries.)

Irrational things are happening.

- Oh, this is a pok-ta-pok stadium. - Is it pok-ta-pok?

- Pok-ta-pok stadium. Over there. - What we saw yesterday.

It's much higher than what we saw.

- That's right. This is... - The goal post.

- Gosh. - They must've done it.

- Gosh. - It's incredible.

(An overwhelming scale)

Gosh. It's much bigger...

than what we saw yesterday.

(Compared to all the other stadiums...)

(they came across during their expedition,)

(Tonina on the 4th day, Uxmal on the 8th day)

(the stadium in Chichen Itza is much bigger.)

They hit the ball with their bottoms to send it all the way up there.

How did they score it up there?

The original stadium is well-preserved here.

- Yes. - That's right.

- In all of Mesoamerica, - That's right.

- this is known to be... - Yes, the most well-preserved...

- the most well-preserved stadium. - in Mesoamerica.

(The most well-preserved pok-ta-pok stadium)

(Dr. Cha's Mayan Civilization Story)

(Chichen Itza, the mystery of the pok-ta-pok stadium)

The pok-ta-pok stadium in Chichen Itza...

is the biggest in Maya.

Its width is 30m,

and its length is 96m.

Its scale is comparable to that of a soccer field.

Then how did the Mayans watch the pok-ta-pok game?

There's a temple to the south of the pok-ta-pok stadium.

It is presumed that it was for the king or nobles.

(It is presumed to be for the king or nobles.)

Of course, there were seats for the commoners too.

The mystery of Chichen Itza's pok-ta-pok stadium...

starts here.

They didn't have any jumbotrons or loudspeakers back then,

but the Mayans communicated easily on this big field.

It was built so that when someone spoke from one side,

the sound would be carried to the other side.

When the king shouted,

the sound was delivered to the commoners on the other side.

This shows that the ancient Mayans understood sound waves...

when they built the stadium.

And their architectural skill is still left as a mystery.

(Amazed)

So that means...

they understood how sound worked.

How did they...

(While everyone is feeling the afterglow...)

"You over there, sit down!"

Then someone from this side will hear that and say,

"Me?"

"Yes, you!"

(Laughing)

(Acting passionately in the pok-ta-pok stadium)

Let's go quickly.

- That sounded strange. - Sorry?

You were supposed to be a Mayan, but...

"Hey, sit down."

(A Mayan from Gyeongsang Province)

(It just sounded like Sung Kyun.)

The drawings are all engraved.

This is the one. He's beheaded.

He was beheaded, and the blood became snakes.

- The blood looks like snakes. - That's how they portrayed it.

When they cut off his neck, snakes surged from his neck.

(Engraved on the wall of the pok-ta-pok stadium...)

The drawings are all engraved.

(are various murals of Maya.)

(When you look at the wall of the stadium closely,)

(two Mayans are facing each other.)

- This is the head. - It's there.

- He's holding it like this. - He's grabbing it like this.

He beheaded him, and snakes surged from his neck.

Yes. When the blood surged...

(Presumed to be the ritual done before and after the match)

If they went as far as to engrave it on the wall...

Whatever it was, it was a sacrifice to the deity.

When I watched them play the pok-ta-pok match yesterday,

I thought it could really serve as a ritual.

- That's right. Isn't it so? - It was so...

I wondered if this had actually happened in this world.

It's so magical.

How magical and majestic must they have found this?

(They capture the biggest city of Maya with their eyes.)

I don't even feel hot.

I don't even feel hot. It's so...

Things I've only seen in documents are unfolding in front of my eyes.

I'm not even sweating.

(Wind blowing)

Am I not sweating because it's windy?

- That's right. It's cool. - All right.

I'm not sweating either.

Your nose is shining from sweat.

(Wiping)

(On the last day of the expedition,)

(they play well among themselves.)

Like this. Pok-ta-pok.

(They move to the next spot.)

- Don't you think... - Look at that.

(Dr. Cha spots something.)

(Amazed)

The pillars are seriously...

There are so many pillars.

(There are a lot of pillars?)

(What surprised the Maya exploring party...)

There are so many pillars.

(are countless pillars.)

The mood has completely...

- It's totally different. - It's totally different.

(Pillars continuing...)

(infinitely)

(Placed behind the Kukulkan Pyramid)

(Where hundreds of pillars are gathered)

(The Temple of the Warriors)

(Past the Kukulkan Pyramid,)

(the pillars fill up the forest of Chichen Itza.)

- The pillars are seriously... - There are so many pillars.

(Speaking the same thing at the same time)

What do the pillars mean?

(Curious)

If there are so many pillars,

there must be something heavy on top to support them with.

Are they all temples?

- That's right. - They're all temples?

They're making various assumptions.

- Buildings were all built... - Of course, all of them.

for certain reasons.

There's no way they were built for no reason.

This is a huge mystery.

(Why did the Mayans set up hundreds of pillars?)

- Every single detail. - I think this is a mystery.

(To solve the mystery of the Temple of the Warriors)

Why did they put up so many pillars?

- Seriously. - Right.

I want to know it so bad that it's driving me crazy.

Scholars must be so curious...

- Of course. - that they can't sleep.

They study it and so on.

People living back then wouldn't have known either.

- They couldn't travel... - That's right.

long distances...

- in one day like we do now. - That's right.

Gosh. There are so many here.

(Amazed)

(Past the path surrounded by pillars)

There are pillars all over.

There were so many of them all over the place.

(It's full of pillars again)

(All of those are pillars.)

- There are so many of them. - Yes.

- They all have patterns. - Yes, they all have patterns.

(The Temple of the Warriors, clue 1)

(Drawings engraved on the pillars)

Normally, when pillars are set up, they put something...

- on top of them. - That's right.

It's a bit different here.

There are rectangular stones on top of them.

(The Temple of the Warriors, clue 2)

(Rectangular stones on top of the pillars)

Even for modern architecture, there are rectangular plates...

- on top of cylindrical pillars. - In the middle.

They place rectangular plates, then put something on top of them.

Maybe there was a heavy, huge city...

on top of them.

- On top... - They must have a meaning to them.

They are rectangular...

- to put something on top of them. - Yes.

(Dr. Cha's Mayan Civilization Story)

(The mystery of 1,000 pillars)

Why did the Mayans put up so many pillars?

Looking at its marvelous scale makes you become more curious.

(There are so many of them that they're called "1,000 pillars.")

We can get a hint from its name, "Temple of the Warriors."

When you look closely at the drawings engraved on the pillars,

they look like armed warriors.

(It looks similar to an armed warrior.)

Judging by how the biggest pok-ta-pok stadium in Maya...

is in Chichen Itza, where human sacrifices were common,

people presume that the warriors...

who were sacrificed were engraved on the pillars.

That means the numerous pillars are proofs of human sacrifices.

You must also take note of the rectangular stones on the pillars.

It is presumed that there was a huge structure...

on top of the pillars.

It's also presumed that sacrifices, such as a human heart,

were placed on the statue on top of the temple.

To summarize, the Temple of the Warriors...

is an important temple that shows both Chichen Itza's religion...

and sacrifice customs.

- There are some over there too. - They're everywhere.

There are lots here.

Gosh, how did they transport all the rocks?

I don't think human intelligence could've been enough for this.

If you don't want to have a headache over this, think about it this way.

Gigantic deities moved them like this.

It's a conspiracy theory.

- Giants made them. - Or...

- Or aliens. - But...

But that's not the case, and that's why it's a mystery.

(All of these are mere assumptions.)

- Nothing has been confirmed yet. - Yes.

(The Maya exploring party continues walking past the pillars.)

(He can't help but whistle.)

(Maya geek is uplifted because he's in Chichen Itza,)

(the place on his bucket list.)

Still, there are shades...

- here and there. Right? - Yes.

(Beside the Kukulkan Pyramid...)

(and beside tzompantli were shades cast by trees.)

Uxmal we went to yesterday.

- That place was... - There was absolutely no shade.

There was nowhere to hide.

(Yesterday at Uxmal)

(They started by exclaiming,)

(but as they walked under the sun...)

(and walked even more,)

(they experienced the heat at its fullest.)

(It's different today.)

(Feeling pleasant under the shades of trees)

It's nice here too.

This is why a lot of people come here.

- Don't you think so, Ju Yeon? - Yes.

- Yes, because there's a lot to see. - There's a lot to see.

There are also forests here and there.

(The combination of the Chichen Itza ruins and nature is marvelous.)

Walking down this path,

the faces of the Mayan descendants that we met...

keep popping up in my head.

- Why? - I'm just imagining the people...

who would've walked down this path like us.

And I keep thinking of the people we've met throughout our journey.

Walking...

(The Mayan descendants take pride in their roots...)

(and carry on the tradition.)

It felt strange.

I felt dizzy.

- On the road? - Yes.

- It's because of the heat. - The heat?

(Cold)

I think the heat got to me.

(Back to reality)

(They move to their last site.)

(What will they see next?)

Look over there.

- Gosh. - It looks like a mosque.

A little. Don't you think? It's like a mosque.

It looks like an observatory.

Yes, you're right.

I'm guessing they observed the stars here,

- Yes, you're right. - right?

Is that right?

Oh, it goes around like this.

It's different...

looking at it up-close.

(El Caracol)

(Unlike the straight designs that were seen so far...)

It's completely different.

From the side, it looked like a mosque.

(What kind of science will Maya's observatory hold?)

- So you can see all around. - Yes.

(It's cylindrical in order to observe the stars everywhere.)

What are the two things that represent Maya again?

- Corn. - And?

- The calendar. - The calendar. Those two things.

That's right.

(He answers without hesitation after being in Maya for 9 days.)

- Our last drawing. - Yes.

The Tzolkin and the Haab. These people...

figured out that there were 365 days in a year.

It's so fascinating.

How did they plan this in advance?

How did they do it so far in the past?

They used a stick to observe every day like this.

- They watched the moon pass by. - Yes.

They just kept watching the sky and used the stick...

to see when the moon would come back...

to the same spot and repeat.

(How the ancient Mayans observed the moon)

How did the ancient Mayans create their calendar?

The only things that were needed were a stick...

(The only material needed was a stick.)

and persistence.

(And the persistence to observe every day)

The Mayans observed the moon from the same spot every day.

They calculated how long it took for the moon to return...

to the same position with the same shape.

(It takes about 30 days.)

The Mayans observed the moon every day.

Many people joined in order to increase the accuracy.

(The accuracy was improved...)

(with the increased number of observers.)

All the Mayans gathered together to observe for hundreds of years.

The observed number of days were slightly different.

Someone observed it to be 30.5 days.

Another person observed it to be 28.8 days.

(28.8 days, 30.5 days, 31.2 days, 27.8 days)

The Mayans observed the moon for hundreds of years...

and calculated the average lunar month.

The Mayan lunar month that was obtained as a result...

(Maya: 29.53020 days, Modern day: 29.53059 days)

differs by only 34 seconds compared to today's lunar month.

They did it with just a stick for hundreds of years.

That's amazing.

(Gosh)

Thanks to their foolishness, we get to...

- "Foolishness?" - I meant...

(He hurt the Maya geek's feelings.)

I meant that their act of endurance could be seen as foolish.

Yes, they're amazing fools.

(A great discovery by great fools)

I see Chaac over there too.

- You're right. In the middle. - Yes.

(There is a Chaac sculpture near the top.)

It doesn't look like a random pattern anymore, does it?

- You can tell it's Chaac, right? - Yes, Chaac.

- Or Kukulkan. - Yes.

You've become experts now.

(Ancient civilizations?)

(I can just recognize stuff when I hear it.)

(Sung Kyun and Ju Yeon didn't know much about the Mayan civilization.)

(But after following Seung Won around,)

(Following)

(they have changed.)

(There's a metate.)

(They see things differently...)

(and smell things they couldn't before.)

(The Mayan calendar, Tzolkin)

(Tzolkin)

(They explored Maya on a deep level for 9 days.)

(Metate?)

- I can see it now. - Yes.

(They have fallen into the charms of Maya in 9 days.)

I am a Maya expert now.

They say the boughs that bear most hang lowest.

(Laden)

(Good harvest)

(He especially has a lot of fruit.)

It's so pretty.

This place is so pretty. Seriously.

It's so nice and pretty.

Let's buy magnets. For fridges.

(The charm of exploring is in buying magnets.)

No, I don't want to.

I hate buying souvenirs at places like this.

Should we each buy one to put on our desks as a memento?

- This... This one's cool. - That one?

(What should I buy?)

I think this one stands out a bit more.

(He is the most focused.)

I want this one.

(Checking)

(Confirming)

I want this one.

(He chooses one faster than anyone else.)

The Kukulkan Pyramid. Okay.

- I'll go with this one. - As a souvenir?

We chose this. Nice.

(They picked out their souvenirs according to their tastes.)

(Gosh)

(Precious)

- I feel happy. - Yes.

I really wanted to come here. Seriously.

(They go to get their last key!)

(The last driver of the exploration is Sung Kyun.)

I'm worn out.

We're drained.

- You got tanned. - Yes.

(They finally set off to obtain their last key.)

There are a lot of other Mayan historical sites...

that we didn't get the chance to see, right?

- Of course. There are thousands. - Thousands.

(Maya, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras)

Thousands of cities made up the Mayan civilization.

(Thousands of cities)

(Thousands?)

We only saw 4. There are 8,000 more.

- There are 8,000, and we saw 4. - Yes.

(Maya, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras)

(A large city set amid the jungle, Tonina)

(The center of maritime trade, Tulum)

(The city of deities, Uxmal)

(The biggest Mayan city, Chichen Itza)

You can't help but look up to it.

The people from the past...

probably thought their civilization would last forever.

That's probably why they built everything.

It was such a big...

- civilization. - Yes

I wonder how it fell all of a sudden.

There are a lot of theories.

(The splendid Mayan civilization mysteriously collapsed.)

(What secret is behind...)

(the fall of Maya?)

(Dr. Cha's Mayan Collapse Story)

Maya was a civilization that prospered...

for a long period of time, from 3,000 BC to the 17th century.

The Mayans used their superior knowledge...

of astronomy and science...

to grow their splendid civilization.

How did this civilization end up collapsing?

Some interesting theories exist regarding this matter.

First, the most important object in the Mayan civilization,

which you should know very well by now is...

That's right. It was corn.

Ironically, there is a theory that the Mayan civilization fell...

because of the very crop that was important...

in the origin of the civilization, corn.

It is the theory of the enfeeblement of fertility.

Corn is a crop that requires a lot of nutrients...

from the soil in order to grow.

Therefore, after harvesting corn for a period of time,

there needs to be time for the soil to rest.

But because the civilization kept growing,

and the population kept increasing,

they started harvesting without rest.

On top of that, slash-and-burn agriculture...

caused the soil to erode.

Therefore, it is theorized that the production of crops...

rapidly declined and resulted in a food crisis.

There is another completely different theory.

It is the collapse due to mercury poisoning.

The old records of Maya tell us...

that all of the buildings and daily items are red.

(They colored a lot of things red, the color of blood.)

They used an ore called cinnabar,

which contains mercury, to create this red color.

The Mayans applied cinnabar on their faces, bodies,

and in various parts of their lives.

(They used cinnabar a lot in their lives.)

They were washed away by the rain...

and contaminated the river.

(It flowed into the river through rain.)

(A theory that they died from mercury poisoning)

This is a theory that Maya collapsed...

from mercury poisoning after Mayans drank from the river.

(Artifacts that were contaminated with mercury were found.)

There are a number of other theories,

such as a 100-year drought and a revolt of the peasants...

who couldn't stand human sacrifices and the shortage of food.

However, these are all just theories.

The collapse of Maya still remains a mystery.

So my conclusion is...

What is it?

(What conclusion?)

(Mercury poisoning, enfeeblement, or drought?)

I think they vanished because of the heat.

I really think so.

(They find the reason behind the collapse of Maya)

(They drive for a little more...)

We're here.

(and reach the most important step of this expedition.)

(Arriving at the location of the last key.)

We're getting the last key.

- Is this where we get it? - This is where we should get it.

We should receive it.

(My blood, sweat, and tears)

(They pass through a dense forest...)

(and go to solve the mystery of the treasure box.)

Thank you for driving.

(The Maya exploring party arrives at a restaurant.)

- It's our last meal. - Yes.

Gosh. This place is fabulous.

(They eat before checking out the secret of the treasure box.)

It's so pretty.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(They enter the restaurant.)

- Let's sit. - Let's sit.

- This place is fancy. - I know, right?

(They feel awkward...)

(because the restaurant is unexpectedly fancy.)

(Looking around)

Gosh. The trees...

(The tall palm trees catch Dr. Tree's attention.)

There's no air conditioning,

but being outside...

- Makes it hot. - is hot.

(Ruining the mood)

(Flapping)

Let's...

- order some refreshing beer first. - Sounds good.

(The food is served promptly.)

- Guacamole. - Guacamole.

Thank you.

(Yes! It's food.)

(Caesar salad and guacamole)

(Beef quesadillas)

(Cochinita pibil)

(Shrimp oil pasta)

(A meal for recovering from fatigue)

(Lastly, refreshing beer)

Thank you.

Cheers.

- Good work. - Good work.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

(Gulping)

(All of their fatigue washes away.)

(Burping)

(Burping)

What did you say?

I said, "Good work."

I see.

(Joking)

- Enjoy. - Let's try it.

Let's eat.

It's Caesar salad

I really like Caesar salad.

(Ju Yeon eats what he likes, Caesar salad, first.)

It's tasty.

(Seung Won also tries the salad.)

It's good. It's tasty.

(Slurping)

(It's good.)

It was an amazing civilization, right?

It was an amazing civilization.

I'm so curious to know why it collapsed.

- This looks like that. Right? - Yes.

- Cochinita? - Yes.

Cochinita. We had it last time.

(The cochinita they had last time?)

(The traditional Mayan pork dish...)

(that they saw in Xunaan Kab)

(How does it taste?)

It's like Korean soy sauce braised beef.

(It's like the meat in pork backbone stew.)

(It suits Koreans' palate.)

(A traditional Mayan dish, cochinita pibil)

(It's delicious.)

(What does the cochinita pibil from the restaurant taste like?)

Right? Yes.

Cochinita. We had it last time.

(Ju Yeon tries it first.)

(Exclaiming)

It is that.

- Does it taste the same? - Yes, it does.

(How is it?)

- What do you think? - What?

- It tastes like it did then. Yes. - Right?

It's good. It suits our palate.

(Chef Cha agrees.)

- Is it good? - It's good.

(They now know Mayan food just by looking at it.)

Gosh. It's...

I can't believe it's already over.

(It's hard to believe that it will all be over soon.)

- Really? - I mean...

When I first saw the "Popol Vuh,"

- Yes. - I thought it was fascinating,

and I was excited to see what was awaiting us.

But...

when we first saw it,

- it wasn't that... Yes. - It didn't move me much.

The drawings didn't grab my attention.

At first, it was just a stack of papers.

But after completing each mission one by one,

it started to have meaning...

and the "Popol Vuh" started to look bigger.

(In order to explore the ancient Mayan civilization,)

There are nine cards.

(there were 9 themes.)

(The Maya guidebook, "Popol Vuh," contained the 9-day journey.)

(I'm not curious.)

(Naughty)

(I'm not that curious.)

(Seung Won distanced himself from the "Popul Vuh" at first.)

Our guidebook. Yes.

- It's right here. It's the same. - It's the same.

(They look the same.)

This is that. Hey.

(It didn't take long for him to fall into the charms of the "Popol Vuh.")

(Ju Yeon. Did you bring the "Popul Vuh?")

(He then started to become obsessed with the "Popol Vuh.")

(Where did the "Popol Vuh" go?)

(Serious)

(We can't explore without the "Popol Vuh.")

(They predicted the next day's theme with the drawings.)

(The Maya guidebook was their guide for their expedition.)

What I'm most curious about...

- will finally be revealed tomorrow. - This?

(The "Popol Vuh" was Dr. Cha's favorite.)

- Whenever we cleared each... - I have it now.

(Rummaging)

Gosh, it's so long.

Isn't it long?

(It's so long.)

(Seung Won is lost in thought, looking at the "Popol Vuh.")

(Sung Kyun also gazes intently.)

(He looks back on each drawing.)

Mr. Alberto,

- That. - the fashion show,

Tonina,

cacao,

- Tulum, - Tulum.

- Cenote. - cenote,

- That place. Yes, Coba. - Coba,

- That place. Uxmal. - Uxmal,

- And Chichen Itza. - and Chichen Itza.

(Exclaiming)

(Moved)

We did a lot.

- Yes, we did a lot. - Yes.

The color has faded, so it has that vibe now.

- Doesn't it look real? - Yes.

The texture of the edges has become soft too.

(The marks of the journey are left on the "Popol Vuh.")

Then will the "Popol Vuh..."

have a burning ceremony?

(Will it have a burning ceremony?)

(Will the "Popol Vuh...")

(be offered as a sacrifice to Kukulkan?)

Okay.

We should still take it with us.

(Even Sung Kyun, who mentioned a burning ceremony...)

- They probably have three copies. - What?

If not, copy it for me.

(He wanted it too.)

I want to hang it in my house.

(I've become so attached to it. I can't just let it go.)

(We should give each of them a "Popol Vuh" to keep at home.)

Is there a site that was most memorable to you?

(Thinking)

(Pondering)

The place I remember the most...

Wouldn't that be...

- Mr. Alberto's house? - Yes, seriously.

(They can't forget about Alberto's family.)

Yes, seriously. You're right.

If you're simply asking me about the most memorable part,

- I would say Mr. Alberto's house. - Me too.

(Mr. Alberto's house left the strongest impression on them.)

- I would say Mr. Alberto's house. - Me too.

How could I forget about their tortillas?

(The first Mayan descendants they met, Alberto and his family)

(The tortilla I made)

(There, they ate the unforgettable tortillas...)

(that they made themselves.)

- And the hammocks that we slept in. - Yes.

(They slept in hammocks like true Mayans.)

(It's a striking memory that makes him tear up.)

- That was the most memorable. - Yes.

Despite that,

- I remember Tonina the most. - Yes.

(Their first historical site is unforgettable.)

(The ancient city, Tonina, is huge and magnificent.)

(They walked up to the top.)

- To the side. - Okay.

When we went to the top, I felt it with my whole body.

- Gosh, it was so... - You're right.

I think climbing all the way to the top was really meaningful.

(An unforgettable sight)

- Plus, that was our first site. - Yes.

So, it felt even better.

Anyway, it was such a valuable time.

(Shall we open the treasure box now?)

The long journey has come to an end.

How was it?

First of all, traveling with my brothers was so fun.

And being able to familiarize myself with the Mayan civilization...

I didn't just see things.

I experienced things firsthand, slept here, and ate things.

It was a valuable time for me to experience all those things.

For me as well, while participating...

in this expedition? This journey.

(He just thinks he's funny.)

You're funny every time you talk.

While watching the daily lives of the Mayan people,

I realized that my way of life was not the only answer.

The way they live is also extremely valuable and beautiful.

Those were some realizations I had.

This journey made me think in many ways.

I've always wanted to visit this place.

And while exploring,

I learned things I didn't know before.

It was a very meaningful experience.

It will stay in my heart as a very fun memory.

That's what you thought I'd say, wasn't it?

(Seung Won is allergic to emotional moments.)

Just give me the key.

(Seung Won only cares about the keys.)

(Please give us the key.)

- Okay. This is the final... - Yes.

It's time for the last part.

The end of our long journey.

Finally,

you saw Chichen Itza with your own two eyes.

You will want to put this in the treasure box.

Let's begin with the treasure box.

(The treasure box of Maya)

(To find the keys and uncover the secrets of the treasure box...)

- This is amazing. - The size is amazing, isn't it?

Be careful on the steps.

(Maya)

(Civilization)

(Exploration)

(A journey of 9 nights and 10 days)

(The Maya exploring party gathered eight keys.)

(And now, the last key!)

(The secret in the treasure box will now be revealed.)

(Here is the last key.)

Here you go.

(Getting up quickly)

(Oh, my)

(Feeling nervous)

(Touched)

(The Maya exploring party receives the final key.)

- It's shaped like Chichen Itza. - Yes.

Please open the last one.

(The final key)

(The ninth key)

(In the shape of the pyramid at Chichen Itza)

Isn't this an umbrella? Is this really Chichen Itza?

Don't we use that when eating fruit?

- Don't we put this in cocktails? - How about you all do it together?

- Together. All right. One. - Okay.

(Finally putting in the last key!)

(The treasure box that has kept the secret of Maya for a long time)

(A legend that has been passed down since ancient times)

(A secret nobody has uncovered for thousands of years)

(The Maya exploring party has been destined...)

(to reveal the secret.)

- All together. Okay. - Okay.

(Cha Seung Won, the oldest)

(Kim Sung Kyun, the second oldest)

(Ju Yeon, the youngest)

(The Maya exploring party has gathered all nine keys.)

One.

(Finally!)

(The last key has finally been inserted!)

- We did it. - Darn it!

Will it open now?

(The Ninth Key: Science of Maya, Complete)

Will it open now?

(But how do we open it?)

Does it open? Don't we need to take this off?

(Seung Won is confused.)

Don't we need to take this off?

Oh, wait. What is that?

Oh, wait. What is that?

- Wait. - It's turning.

(The key is turning?)

(The keys are turning on their own.)

They are turning.

(The Mayan treasure box seems extraordinary.)

- Oh, my. What is this? - What?

(Surprised)

(What is this?)

What is this?

(The treasure box is slowly moving.)

Is this going to explode?

It was this kind of thing?

(Feeling excited that the box is unexpectedly high quality)

- It was this high quality? - What is this?

We were hauling it around with no care.

(The treasure box is finally revealing its secret.)

(Feeling nervous)

(Exclaiming)

- Oh, my. - Oh, my.

(What secret does the treasure box hold?)

(What is it?)

(The secret of the treasure box)

(What is this?)

- Oh, my. - Oh, my.

(Oh, my!)

Hey. This is Petra.

Do you want me to scold you?

- Are you sending us to Petra? - Petra?

(Petra?)

- What is that? - For real?

(What is Petra?)

(Inside of the treasure box...)

(was Petra.)

(Another 1 of the 7 Wonders of the World)

(An ancient city made from carved rocks)

(Petra)

(The secret will be taken to the next destination.)

Seung Won kept telling Sung Kyun...

to stop saying unnecessary things.

You kept talking about Petra, right?

That's right.

I'm sorry.

I have committed a grave sin.

(Actually, from the first meeting, Seung Won...)

The place where humans built the first civilization.

(Sumer, present-day Iraq)

(Ju Yeon. Where would you like to go for season 2?)

(When Ju Yeon mentioned the desert...)

(Petra!)

(What is Petra?)

(Seung Won had constantly mentioned Petra.)

- I recognized it right away. - He really did.

I've really wanted to visit this place.

When we get there,

a magnificent journey...

- will be awaiting us. - Yes.

We will stay...

in the homes...

of people related to Petra.

- A night in the desert. - With sunken eyes.

(We haven't gone there yet, but it feels like we already have.)

If we go there next time,

I'll really have to take care of my stamina.

- I'm going to exercise so much. - Now that we have experience...

- Yes. - I'm going to show up like this.

"Hi, Ju Yeon."

(Bulking up for the adventure)

(An actor who bulks up for variety shows)

Gosh, Sung Kyun. What's up with you?

- Let's go. - You've really bulked up.

Give me your bag.

(Seung Won is very excited about the idea of Petra.)

I'm getting energized.

You became excited after seeing Petra.

- Yes. - Onto the next destination.

This place is magnificent. Very magnificent.

I've seen this a lot.

- You've seen this, right? - Yes. In the media.

- Good work. - Good work, everyone.

- Good work. - Good work.

Okay. Brotherhood...

- Brotherhood Expedition! - Expedition!

(Brotherhood Expedition: Maya)

(Brotherhood Expedition: Maya)

(Thank you for watching Brotherhood Expedition: Maya.)
