[Aztlan] re Tamtok

[Diehl, Richard]

I have seen numerous photographs of the now-famous monument from Tamtok
and despite all the hoopla about its "Olmec" connections, it is clearly
Postclassic in date, probably carved in the century before the Spanish
conquest. Furthermore, the exhaustive studies by French archeologists at
the site revealed nothing earlier than Early Classic. Somebody has been
trying to blow this up into something it most definitely is not. Sorry.
