Bring LOTS of bug dope if you do go. I got malaria there. It is incredible though.

One can only imagine what sadism and butchery occurred within its walls. Then again, one doesn’t have to imagine too much, given how their ancestors behave these days.

When I talk to idiots who think the Mayan Calender predicts our
DOOM in December 2012, I point out these are the same people who would rip out the beating hearts of their war conquests and throw them down the steps of their temples...by the hundreds to appease their sun god...
Of course these same people had the ability to predict the end of the world as we know it...
Right!!!

Wholeheartedly agree. I hope there are more pics — archaeologica had two earlier articles linked last week, and I didn’t get around to posting either one; there’s some other pics there.

Another one of Douglas Adams' accidents with a contraceptive in a time machine?

Didn’t Barry Weiss find one of those stucco masks in a storage bin auction in Azusa?

Of course these same people had the ability to predict the end of the world as we know it... According to their legends, "visitors" told them of these things. One such diety, Kukulcan, was known by many names by different past cultures.
