Nevada Author Claims Phoenicians Mistook Maya Cities for Atlantis - Jason Colavito Blog

Well, Jason Colavito is having a field day with some recent archaeological claims. First, he attacks a Nevada historian's rather odd suggestions as being unfounded and, frankly, not as new as the gentleman seems to think. He also finds wry humor as well as some outrage in the story that the University of New Mexico Revises Reason for Studying Olmec Heads on Trip Exploring "African Presence" in Mexico. Again, it appears that a lack of reading back to original sources is to blame; this time creating an unintended racist result. Jason's also got some "new" news with "America Unearthed" Returns for New Season; Plus: UFO Wreckage and the Sacred. Besides the tv treatment, Jason turns to Oxford University Press' American Cosmic: UFO, Religion, Technology, authored by University of North Carolina-Wilmington Professor Diana Walsh Pasulka. Like the Glenn C. Altschuler review of this book, Colavito found things to like as well as dislike. Pivoting to the Old Country, Ireland's national public-service media organization RTE correspondent Sinead Hussey has a short but informative article on how Google Maps Images Uncover Ancient Archaeological Monuments in the Emerald Isle. It's amazing how drought and technology have combined to bring to light lost elements of Ireland's heritage. (WM)
