Anyone else ever see the action movie involving the man who was supposed to be sacrificed at the very top of the Inca/Mayan/ Aztec temple, but who escaped into the jungle where his people were from?
It is the one where they stupidly chased him deep into the jungle where he and his people lived before they captured him. He was "at home" in the jungle and therefore was able to kick their @sses. Also, ancient characters are supposedly speaking in their native tongue (mumbling) and so it also has subtitles.

Nope, missed that movie your description brings up memories.
True story, me and the Ex did our honeymoon in Playa Del Carmen. All inclusive resort.
We did a tour of the Mayan ruins in the area, Chichen Itza if my memory serves me correctly. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Castillo,_Chichen_Itza)
I walked up the stairs of the temple just fine... then when at the top, I turned around to picture the view. Vertigo set in.
After wandering around the temple and with the tour guide explaining the history and all that, I had to walk down the same stairs... they were totally open with no guard rails.. Just a rope down the center. The steps where like 10" deep on the landing (apparently they had little feet back then). One miss step or stumble, and gravity would take over as you you bounced on down the rock stairs.
I went down on my ass, one step at a time as if I was a 3 yr old. Yeah, when it comes to heights, I'm kind of a pu$$y. I'll admit it.
It's not Knowledge Recently Acquired, but it was about 20 yrs ago.
