Discussed Kirtana's documentary project and the anthropological research she's been doing for it with the director and host.

She mentioned lots of details about Sita and Rama, and illustrated deep knowledge about the flow of people across time.

Some interesting details about the Mayans:

She told me a story about a spaniard, Diego de Landa, who was found guilty of burning almost all the Maya manuscripts/codices that would’ve helped decipher Maya script, knowledge of Maya religion and civilization, and history of the continent. And yet his work in documenting and researching the Maya is indispensable accounting for 99% of what we know about the Mayas. The story spurred by discussion of her work and of Foundation.
