VOICED: Mexico's 'birdmen' take flight

The Voladores of Papantla, or flying men of Mexico, carry the country's ancient heritage into the present, with a breathtaking ceremony of music and dance staged atop a giant pole. The ritual, which is said to be some 1,500 years old, has recently been named a world heritage site by UNESCO Papantla, Veracruz, Mexico (Footage by AFPTV via Getty Images)
