Every time I see news about cities discovered in south america I look to see if the dates line up with the Nephite/Lamanite civilizations of the Book of Mormon (roughly 600 BC to 400 AD). This is the closest yet that I've seen. I'm eager to see what they discover in the coming years about their culture and government. Will we find traces of their Judge-based government? Signs that they worshiped Christ and practiced Jewish rituals? It will be interesting to watch this investigation unfold.
to me it seems notable that the conversation turns into comparisons of early Western things.. because of course, it is very unlikely that people on this forum have very much reference of any kind to these very recent science facts. "Pre-columbian art" has been a stable of artistic and intellectual circles for long time.. it is easier to look at one stone figure and wonder

No.
I began to read this thread just for the horror-show-train-wreck voyeurism of crazy. But your simple riposte made me laugh, so, gold star, you.
