In the end the scientists made a series of discoveries culminating in bus-size boulders of Olmec blue jade, some astride creeks.

Wow. That would be something to see. Too bad there's no pictures yet.

And the location ain't gonna be a secret for long...

We saw the Olmec heads when we were in Villahermosa. It's astounding that they found the source of the jade after all these centuries.

You'd think they would have found everything by now. If we could see through the top 10 feet of earth all over the planet, what would we find?

I think we've just found that gift for "the friend who has everything"!
One of these boulders, with a little buffing, would be a really nice way to
accessorize the gardens of a grand estate!

Bush knew!

Obviously, the CIA memo orchestrating the impending hurricane was on GW's desk before 1998. AND HE DIDN'T WARN THE GUATEMALAN PEOPLE!!!

Just as obviously, he asked his Enron people to corner the jade market at the appropriate time. Cheney is in on it, I think. (obviously)
