  12.  @elely1973  I didn't say there aren't any archaeologists in Mexico, I said this man brought this site to the attention of the archaeologists in Mexico. Apparently they didn't know it was there. Also.... the Natives dig up these sites to sell artifacts to tourists, it has nothing to do with "respect to the ancestors". They're trying to feed their families.

  13.  @elely1973  Have you been to Mexico? I've been a professional archaeologist for 20 years and have toured numerous sites throughout Mexico. It is common to have locals there try to sell you artifacts they dug from the ground. They're not respecting the ancestors by destroying sites.
