Gibson to leave film sets in Mexico

VERACRUZ, Mexico, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Actor/director Mel Gibson is leaving the sets from "Apocalypto" in Veracruz, Mexico, when he's done filming.

Gibson will donate six replicas of Mayan pyramids and several movie-set villages, the BBC reported Friday.

Gibson began shooting Nov. 14 and says filming should be complete in late March or early April.

"Apocalypto" takes place 3,000 years ago in Central America and all the dialogue is in an obscure Mayan dialect.

Gibson has said the film will tell the life of a Mayan man, touching on "civilizations and what undermines them".
