I always post LIDAR articles when I find them, believing readers who haven't read about them, yet, would appreciate finding out later rather than never. It has always worked that way for me. Posting only the very latest information would make much faster reading, of course, but people coming late to events would have to wait even longer to learn about them.
It has always been my practice in the many years I've posted here and elsewhere.
Apparently you didn't view my inclusion of the World's Foremost Authority worthy of any respect! Who the #### doesn't respect such a distinguished scholar? If he was good enough for stand up comedy fans, he's certainly good enough for me.
If you'd only taken a moment to read more carefully you would have realized the terrible writing doesn't really claim Mayans were actually hunters/gatherers themselves:
This discovery is making historians rethink what they know of ancient Mayan civilization. The discovery of a network of roads and cities, hydraulic systems, and agricultural infrastructure suggests that communities living in Central America were now more advanced than given credit for, the Post reports.
Per the paper, these findings reflect "socio-economic organization and political power."
The lost world dates as far as 1,000 B.C. to the pre-classic epoch of the Mayans, which had previously been considered a nomadic, hunter-gather society.
The imbecile who wrote the article was apparently trying to summarize an earlier
Washington Post article for a much broader audience.
