Does this mean that the end of the world is near?

His archaeological site looks amazingly like a tacky tourist trap gift shop.
As old as the Mayan culture was, how remarkable that the photograph on the postcard is color instead of black and white.

The Mayan culture seemed to focus a lot on trade.

This is merely evidence of their advanced science.

That is what I am saying....if research continues at this trade site, no doubt ancient videos will be found, as well as rare and exotic Mayan bumper stickers.

I hear a rumor that the Mayans invented the Twinkie, and that some of the original products can still be purchased.

They probably still taste good, too!

:wink:

Since Twinkies will now be manufactured in Mexico, South America will once more be the source of these, these.....'treats'.

Are there any marigolds in the promised land?

The 'Promised Land' was full of pagan temples, which the Israelites tried to destroy completely, but they are sill being found and excavated.
Some of the sacred idols were not even statues, just upright stones.

Perhaps they have found early models of transistor radios?
