Jamaica was home to a thriving Taíno civilization for over 850 years before Columbus arrived in 1494. This video examines 11 archaeological structures across Jamaica — from the Carpenter's Mountain zemís to the sunken city of Port Royal — that remain partially unexplained, not because the mysteries are unsolvable, but because Jamaica's archaeological sites remain underfunded and under-excavated. Drawing on published research from the Jamaica National Heritage Trust, Cambridge, and UNESCO, this video explores what these structures reveal about pre-colonial Jamaica and why they matter to Jamaicans at home and abroad.
