Talk:Kan Maax

Removed text
Most of the text in this newly created article was quite apparently taken practically verbatim from Authenticmaya's website, see last few paras here. I've removed it, not only for the copying but also because much of it is inaccurate and contains speculations and inferences not found in the actual archaeological and epigraphical reports. I'm pretty certain the article's creator is not responsible for the external website's content, particularly given that as that website's maintainer has edited here on wiki himself from time to time. Even if there was to be permission to reproduce the text from the external site, afraid it's contents are really too problematic to be used, even as a reference.

The article's cut back now to a bare stub, until get a chance to marshal more reliable sources to flesh it out some more. Note, I would exclude from those 'reliable sources' many of the newswire and journalistic press reports that circulated back in 2005 after the Cancuen archaeological project team announced the 'mass grave finding'. Looking through a lot of these it seems apparent a fair bit is misreported, compared with what Barrientos and Demarest have separately written about the project's finds and interpretations of those finds. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 13:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
