Bullsh!+ .... only fountains were the fountains of squirting blood from the Aztec temple as the sliced through the flesh of the Innocent....

and since when is digging a scat hole considered a toilet?

You can't undo primitive no matter how hard you try. Yes, feathers and shiny rocks are pretty, but they are not the technologies of men... they do not equate to metallurgy or even the development of the frickin’ wheel...

Give me a break... is Political Correctness dead yet? Didn't we elect a black president or something?

All that, and no use of wheels except on children’s pull toys. Very odd folk.

You know, this could be a huge discovery!! I’d be willing to bet that the toilets were not low-flow and destroyed their society!

If the Mayans were so friggin’ brilliant, why can’t you find them anymore?

Square conduits are not good containers of pressure. To get 20 feet you would need about one Bar of pressure, about 15 psi. The narrowing could be construed as a venturi, lot of losses.

The Egyptians had those conveniences thousands of years earlier.

I devoutly hope the latter weren’t feeding the former.

The Minoans on Crete had real, not imaginary flush toilets several thousand years before.

Is this where evil white men got the idea for gold plumbing? Since they didn’t have any kind of decent utilitarian metalurgy; and since stone and clay will only take you so far. are they suggesting...?

FWIW... I have traveled the remnants of ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece and Central America. But nothing - and I mean nothing - prepared me for the Inca ruins in Peru. I will forever be in awe.

I wonder if any proof exist as to who built the toilets and fountains. Illegal aliens and other miscreants are trying to take over the once free USA. If they succeed, the history will be rewrote and they will take credit for all the good things in this Country.

“scientists say”?

is this like “some say”?

perhaps this is the same scientist who says it is possible to yodel on the moon in a vacuum.

- What's the difference between a fountain and a toilet?

- I don't know.

- Then you're not visiting my garden!
