[Aztlan] "SECRET CAVE" under Teotihuacan Sun Pyramid

Bertrand is also correct about the unfortunate, but understandable, 
errors that some reporters make. On the flip side, some reporters have 
VERY selective hearing and don't hear any of the 'woulds', 'coulds', or 
'according to current evidences' that we use so much and splash flashy 
statements in their articles that don't reflect archaeological knowledge.

Then there are reporters who go for the sensational.  In Egyptologist Kent Weeks' book The Lost Tomb he writes about speaking to a reporter about his rediscovery of Tomb KV5 in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. While discussing the tomb, Weeks mentioned that its pillared hall was one of the largest ever found. The reporter asked Weeks if he found any colored balls. For obvious reasons Weeks was confused. The reporter then asked if billiard halls were common in ancient Egypt. Weeks tried to correct the reporter who commented: 'Billiard hall? Pillared hall? What difference does it make? Who cares? Besides, it makes a better story'.
