I watched it last night. Another set of lies, half-truths and fantasies
foisted on the TV-viewing public. Pretty disgraceful. You know, for all
the whining by these fantastic, "alternative" archaeologists that they are
being suppressed by the establishment, they sure get a lot of big-time
network air-time. At least twice in the past year the claim has been made
in front of a national TV audience that, for example, Tiwanaku is over
10,000 years old and built by space aliens. That probably constitutes all
over 99% of that same public will ever hear of Tiwanaku.
There may be a conspiracy of silence here. But it isn't being perpetrated
by the archaeological "establishment" (whatever that is).
