I don't think I've ever brought over one of DUmmy kpete's stupid copy-and-paste jobs before. This one, copied from a supermarket tabloid alongside alien abduction articles, is just as stupid as all her other posts. But she uses the magic word, "Maya", which is sure to bring nutcase nadin running:

1. I'll believe this when I see a credible source for it.
Examiner.com is a site where anyone can post anything, fact free. And Google suggests that the "discoverer" listed here is a kook.

17. I agree with you Wraith.
It isn't impossible, but it isn't very likely either.

Also, I think the focus on the Maya gives too much credit to the Central American cultures.

18. Well the connection between the Cahokia site and the Maya
(And chiefly Teotihuacan) is in the ball game and some of the religious believes. I suspect you are right.
Fun fact. the Cahokia site is the third largest pyramid complex in North America, right behind Teotihuacan and IIRC Tikal.

Having cracked the 100K barrier, nutcase nadin has the google smoking.

24. Cool. I learned of them doing research for a US History class
that I might still teach one of these decades... money is tight...
I grew up an hour from Teotihuacan... and I got to go every so often.

Can you imagine it? Nutcase nadin teaching American history? Or anything else?
Money is tight because it's all been spent on camera batteries.
Stay frostly, my friends.
