Last Days of the Maya, released to DVD under the title Royal Maya Massacre, is a 2005 television documentary film in the television series Explorer, which currently airs on the National Geographic Channel.

The documentary tracks the discovery and excavation of two graves beneath the ruins of Cancuén, once a prominent Maya city-state.

The archaeological finds documented are notable as the National Geographic magazine presents them as evidence of the beginning of the end of the Maya city-states.[1]
