It's looking increasingly like the excavations at San Luis Potosi, may be of a wholly new, previously unknown culture, concurrent with the Olmec. O:! - That's old!

Now I know I was right not to buy that ticket for lunch with Ben Murphy and save the cash for my Mexican trip!

That was interesting. Thanks for sharing the links. It'd be great if you could visit the site while you are there.

It's kind of a way away from where I was going - I'm hoping to fly to Cancun and then travel overland to Palenque and Bonampak. If I can run to it, it might be worth trying to fit an extra few days in, though, to visit this dig - IF they're letting Joe Public in - I need to check.
I am absurdely excited by this, but it COULD tie together a lot of theories that didn't really 'go' before. :grins all over face:

That sounds exciting! Congratulations on your Mexican trip - when do you go??

Hopefully in October, or failing that, next spring - when it's not too hot and not too deeply into the hurricane season (been there, done that, NO desire to do it again! :shudder:). It's only a plan right now, though, I've nothing booked. There are a lot of variables - money, the move, my Permaculture courses, my Mum's health, money! :G:
