I've been to Tulum three times, nice area overlooking the Gulf.

Latin America pinglist.

Yes, the ruins overlooking the ocean are spectacular.

I wonder if they found the remains of the chicken dinner I had there....?

I liked Coba better than Tulum.

In the past the region was dry but the caves were flooded due in the last thaw of the Pleistocene ice age

Damn Global warming...

In the past the region was dry but the caves were flooded due in the last thaw of the Pleistocene ice age, it said.

If only Thag Bush had inscribed his name in the Kyoto Stones...

Drug runners probably got them. Those guys are always killing folks.

So did we, Coba was awesome. Of course is was 1986, don’t know what it is like now.

Odds are these bodies are going to be remarkably similar to Australians (of the time) or Sa'ami (in Refugia).

We have enough additional evidence available now to ward off the "gotta' be Bering" people.

I was just there in January.

"They are not Mayas because they do not have the classic Mayan skull deformation." They were Neanderthals!

"So did we, Coba was awesome. Of course is was 1986, don’t know what it is like now."

The first time I went to Coba was in about 1983. I stayed at the Club Med there for $6.00 (US) a day, lol. I had a room in Kozumel but stayed two days at Club Med in Coba which was practically deserted.

Doing bunch of genealogical work on branches of the family who arrived here in the early days (of European settlement) I noticed they almost invariably picked places that are now incredibly high priced, or are national parks, to settle.

Makes doing genealogy fun sometimes.

[RightWhale]

They are not Mayas

Ethiopians?

"The woman was 1.41 meters' tall, weighed around 53 kg and was between 20 and 30 years old when she died."

...yeah, I'd hit that!

Hmmm. Your pic was taken from down toward the ‘hippie beach’ where they go nude. Were you a bad boy?
