"Okay, I read this years and years ago and it made me laugh so hard - the parallels to ancient egyptian archaeology should be fairly obvious, and it gives a good warning: don't assume. I'd most definitely recommend this one!"
"Often people think they've identified what they've found or what they're dealing with but they are fully erroneous and go on their merry way. This story takes a turn that I enjoy very much.
Dramatic discoveries and misidentification! A must read - entertaining."
"Fun book that was a very fast read. Makes you sympathetic to the archeologists digging up ancient Mayan tombs and trying to make sense of the artifacts."
