The point I was making was that you always say - not wait - you <i> always</i> say that GH bases his dates on Posnansky and in reality the Head of Bolivan Archaeology (at the time of GH writing Heaven's Mirror I think?) agrees as does another archeaologist, this Neil Steede guy. Whether or not Tiwanaku is 12000 BPE old or not isn't the point I was making. I specifically stated that I didn't know anything about Tiwanaku to prevent you misunderstanding the point I was making. The point I was making ~lol~ John, is that an objective observer would mention these more recent sources in a sentence about outdated sources.~lol~
Anyway, in what way does Rivera's position disqualify him from making a judgement? You call him an administrator, with no archaeological training. You say that, GH says he is a leading expert on Tiwanaku. Who am I to believe? Are you dismissing opinions? Interesting. Are you distinguishing opinions from facts? I'll remember that - you don't find opinions relevant to a discussion :-) Do quickly correct me if I'm wrong btw ~lol~
