Meanwhile, American students are learning somewhat less lofty things.

Not an entirely original idea. I think Graham Hancock (or someone like him) proposed the same for the ancient Egyptians. Pyramid layout at Giza corresponding to the belt of Orion...the Sphinx being the constellation Leo...etc.

These people were cannibals. There’s no denying that. Hence I don’t shed a tear for the downfall and destruction of their “uncivilizations”.
Smart kind who discovered this though.

You say that like it’s a bad thing...

The unasked question (so far as I've seen):
What technology did they use to site the cities?
GPS would be real handy for that, but of course, Garmin was just a recent start-up in those times...

Any expeditions should be less expensive after every thief within a thousand miles will try to loo the city of any treasures.
There should be clear paths by the time the kid gets there.
Let the looting begin!

I’m really curious as to what #3 wrote that was censored on this subject. I like reading this kind of stuff myself and when I see censored comments, curiosity takes over.

Probably just coincidence. But still very cool Actually, I think it was NON-coincidence that led the young lad to his theory:
"I did not understand why the Maya built their cities away from rivers, on marginal lands and in the mountains," said William Gadoury. "He [They] had to have another reason, and as they worshiped the stars, the idea came to me to verify my hypothesis. I was really surprised and excited when I realized that the most brilliant stars of the constellations matched the largest Maya cities." [from another article]

It seems that something is being ignored. If all these cities are laid out around the world based on the stars, how were they laid out with the accuracy? Surely it wasn’t done from ground level.
