Digging for the Truth's Josh Bernstein is determined to solve the mystery. His remarkable journey takes him from the great Mayan cities of Southern Mexico to the remotest hinterlands of Guatemala. Determined to discover the meaning of the Mayan pyramids, Josh takes his life in his hands as he explores ancient tombs, dives into flooded caverns, and shoots down white-water rapids.
