Eye opening, captivating

The Zapotec section, on the other hand is garbage, writing-wise. As others have said, it's mostly fluff, repeating the same things in different ways to pad it out, and with a lot of fanciful presumptions on the attitudes of Zapotec people, if that makes sense. Maybe it doesn't. Still total garbage. I eventually skipped that part entirely.
David Patton takes over for the other half, Maya and Aztec, and he's much better as a narrator. No awkward pauses at all. Both sections are okay, writing-wise, I think, though I will admit that sometimes, I heard the narrator breathing as he talked, rather loudly. That probably should have been edited out, and in the Aztec section, there was a point or two with what I will call bloopers. Sentences that are read and stop mid-way, only to start again, or bits that are repeated. And those errors are consistent, I checked.
So for the set overall, I think it mostly balances to about average.
A Mixed Bag, And Not The Best Work.

Exceptionally engaging stuff.

As others have mentioned, the Olmec and Zapotec sections contain a lot of fluff to portray the same ideas over and over again. While it's understandable that a lot of the history for these 2 groups are speculation due to lack of "hard" evidence, repeating it for sake of repeating it does get a little stale.
The Mayan and Aztec portions are much better, as these have more archaeological findings to help prove theories or otherwise corroborate the histories.
The narrations for all 4 parts are fairly decent, but some fairly common words being mispronounced really detract from the listening experience. Several times I had to rewind portions just to listen to them again to try and grasp the meaning of the statement, simply because an important word was mispronounced. While this seems forgivable at first, the more frequent that it occurred, the harder it became to stay focused on the content. In spite of this, the remainder of the content was well done, and both narrators clearly convey a sense of enjoyment at the reading of the material (much like listening to a professor discuss a period of history that they are truly passionate about).

if you can muscle through that happening frequently, the actual history is very well written, and his cadence and vocal quality are relaxing.
