Mexico is for the USA what Egypt is for Europe:
a nearby place for holidays with magnificient
ruins of an ancient culture (although I prefer Greece
or Italy for holidays instead of Egypt). I wonder how
many of you have been walking around real Maya
pyramids with Linda Schele's book "The Code of Kings"
or Michael D. Coe's text about "The Maya" in
your hands?
Do you share the impression that most major
temples and pyramids have been found and most
of the preserved hieroglyphs have been deciphered?
How much is left to discover in archaeology
and other sciences? It looks like the things
that can be calculated with "bare hands" have
already been done in Mathematics as well..
What do you think?
