Hi Sterling,
It is a rare day that I ever have anything to add to your eloquent and
informative posts, let alone disagree, but here goes......
Steen-McIntyre's dating as mentioned in the wikipedia link you
supplied as well as everywhere else on the web is 250,000 years ago.
The dating of the ash layer that is below (and therefore younger than
her finds) is 40,000 years ago. (also from the link you provided)
I could not disagree more when you say they get the same dating she
does.
Sincerely,
Mike Fowler
Chicago

Hi, and here we go...
Yes, the video is a whacko video; the authors
of Forbidden Archaeology are whackoes, everything
Darren said. But this is a case, all too common in
the internet/media age, of whackoes exploiting a
genuine issue for their own whacko enrichment.
Forgetting for a moment about UFO's, Atlantis,
and Charlton Heston with Alzheimer's (so sad),
look at the evidence. Apart from the whacko Whitney
relics, almost all the video was about the Hueyatlaco
site and Steen-McIntyre.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hueyatlaco
The Heyatlaco site is not Steen-McIntyre's dig.
Work was done there by many archaeologists and
geologists; she was called in as a geologist whose
specialty is dating. The others involved with the site
have published quietly (but without dates) and no
(big) problems. Steen-McIntyre, the dater, was left
to defend her work, which she does. Who wouldn't?
You can find her academic background and
resume at the website about a related "old" site:

The dating has been done over by "outside" experts
with no archeological axes to grind, from NASA:

They get the same dates she does...
