The title "Apocalypto" which in Greek means "an unveiling and a new beginning"

THE MEDIA: -
""" The movie is partially intended as a political allegory about civilizations in decline.[7] Said Gibson in September of 2006: "The precursors to a civilization that’s going under are the same, time and time again... "[8] This is shown most literally though the opening quote by Will Durant and the last line by Jaguar Paw, "...seek a new beginning." From Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, ethnopsychoanalyst, "Some native people, many academics and etymologists contest Gibson's seeming distortion of the Greek word apocalypto, which actually means 'to reveal,' not 'new beginning.' There also is a controversy about how the Conquistadores are portrayed in the film, as showing up after the fall of a Mayan governmental grouping, rather than portraying the Conquistadores as having conducted the greatest brutal massacre of people and cultures the Mayans had ever seen."[cite this
