INAH Expresses Willingness to Hold Dialogue with Syndicate		

Regarding the night visits and lighting project in Teotihuacan, Estado  
de Mexico, the general direction of the National Institute of  
Anthropology and History (INAH) expresses to the INAH syndicate its  
willingness to dialogue and reflex jointly about its transcendence and  
specific operation models.

In frequent occasions the institution revised, jointly with its  
gremial and professional representations, the initiative presented to  
the INAH Archaeology Council by Teotihuacan Valley Tourism Development  
Commission, an Estado de Mexico decentralized organism.

Parting from these encounters, and after the inspections conducted by  
the Council of Archaeology at Teotihuacan, the academic advisory  
organism recommended a series of adaptations regarding the lighting  
system:

1) Cable trunking and aluminum rails removal, substituting them with  
flexible polymer ducts; 2) Retirement of the lamplights protection  
covers; 3) Extraction of anchors that support girders, and wall  
restoration as recommended by the INAH National Coordination of  
Cultural Heritage, and 4) concealing the appearance of Phillips LED  
lamps.

These actions result from the formal request formulated by the  
Congress of the Union Permanent Commission on December 22nd 2008,  
supporting INAH syndicate groups that asked for the suspension of the  
project already approved, and to formally render a detailed report  
that would be the base of the January 12th 2009 visit that the  
Commission of Culture, through members of its Directive Board,  
conducted to Teotihuacan Archaeological Zone, to verify in situthe  
mentioned advances in syndicate representation presence.

The INAH General Direction reiterates its open position to exchange  
points of view and enrich the discussion on this regard, and ratifies  
the formal request to wait for the report issued by the Congress of  
the Union Permanent Commission.
