[Aztlan] Corrected tiny URL for the Maya underwater site story

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

The tiny URL I sent for the Underwater Maya site exploration in Lake  
Atitlan has been hacked and links to a Japanese porn site. Yikes! I  
will not use that tiny URL service any longer. I can imagine what  
would have happened if I were still teaching and had sent that story  
out to my students with that tiny URL. These are the hazards of online  
education. I have reposted the story with a legitimate tiny URL which  
I hope will remain kosher. I am using the Firefox/Mozilla tool from  
now on.

Listeros,

Scuba divers are exploring a Maya site found at the bottom of a  
volcanic lake by an amateur explorer. The site is called Samabaj and  
was discovered 12 years ago in Lake Atitlan. Professional  
archaeologists are now exploring the site with sonar technology and  
excavating structures on the lake bed, 50 feet below. The island site  
was flooded in 250 CE by volcanic action. 6 monuments and 4 altars  
have been found. The island site appears to be a pilgrimage  
destination. The exact location has been kept secret to keep out  
looters.
