On our second episode of The Explorers 50 Speaker Series, supported by Rolex, we look towards the “Seekers” on Wednesday, October 26th at 7pm. This episode brings together experts from the field of archeology who have looked to the past to uncover new truths about who we are today and where we are going. The panel discussion will be moderated by EC 50 2021 Honoree Juan Martinez and will examine the ways that exploration into the past helps us protect, understand, and celebrate the diversity of human experience.
This event is entirely virtual. Streaming live here on explorers.org, our YouTube Channel, and our Facebook Live — Wednesday, October 26th at 7:00 pm ET.

George Bey
George Bey holds the Chisholm Chair at Millsaps College. He is a Maya archaeologist carrying out fieldwork in the tropical eco-systems of Yucatan, Mexico since 1984. He sees archaeology as a powerful tool for supporting cultural heritage and biological sustainability. To make this vision a reality he and his colleagues created the Kaxil Kiuic biocultural reserve. This reserve holds the ancient Maya city of Kiuic amidst 4,500 acres of protected dry tropical forest. In his role as president of this international non-profit he supports a wide range of programs, from excavation to community reforestation and jaguar conservation. He is dedicated to understanding the rise and fall of the Maya civilization while working in partnership with surrounding contemporary Maya communities and others dedicated to preserving the forest.
