Can you imagine going shopping at the most famous market of the pre-Hispanic period? How does it feel to be the Red Queen of Palenque? Or what are the latest details about the daily lives of the families who inhabited Teotihuacan? These are some of the concerns of girls and boys who, delving into the task of reporting news, take part in the third season of the series Arqueólogos en Apuros (Archaeologists in trouble). They set researchers in a tight spot with curiosity, asking them about everyday life in the pre-Hispanic era.

The Kids' television programme emitted by Mexico's Ministry of Culture of the Government, through its National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), has three episodes with UNESCO in Mexico. Girls and boys led the show and shaped interesting stories about archaeological sites near their homes. They had to take some audiovisual production workshops at their schools.

Arqueólogos en Apuros has eight episodes and airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. on Canal 22 and the INAH's YouTube channel. The series aims to spark interest in young audiences and involve educational communities, explained Jaime Delgado Rubio, archaeologist and director of the project.
