Morley Speaks, News reel footage of Sylvanus Morley touring Chichen Itza
with IMS President, Keith Merwin
Please join IMS for an interesting perspective of work at Chichen Itza. During the early 1930's while the Carnegie Institute was working at the site Morley narrated a newsreel on the site. There is no record that this newsreel was ever released but the footage does still exist.
These videos are un-edited. Because it is unedited many of the short segments are repeated, as they filmed different versions.
A Link to a recording of this presentation is available to IMS members.
