The Dwarf of Uxmal | Maya Bedtime Story — Bedtime World Tour
Tonight we travel to the Yucatán, to the ruined Maya city of Uxmal and to the tallest building in it, which is shaped like nothing else the Maya ever built. An old woman with no children wraps an egg in cloth and waits, and what hatches out of it is a boy. Years later a king sets him a final test that is not really a test at all: build a house taller than my palace, in one night, or die at dawn. And in the morning the king goes to his window and cannot see the sky.
A world folktale every night, told to help you fall asleep. Follow the show so tomorrow night's story finds you too.
