[Aztlan] Mexico to Yahoo: Not on our pyramid!

[Marcelo Donadello]

  I was happy with the idea of the Yahoo team, I see too much people today thinking about two parts of reality: "our" world, the "normal" and "actual"one, and the rest, the world that can be matter of study, help, bombings or vivisection. I think they're wrong. And, what do you think Teotihuacans construct the pyramid for? But...

In another way, it's interesting. Your point of view simplifies the work for every archeollogist. Let me ask: What do you construct the pyramid for?

"Descending Serpent" at Chichen. Feh!
