Emotional Achievement

mayan 24

Stephen Houston professor of Archeology and Anthropology, Brown University, who has given almost half of his life in researching about the Mayan civilization got very emotional after the discovery. “I think this is one of the greatest advances in over 150 years of Maya archaeology” Houston said. The significance of the survey actually made Houston extremely emotional. “I know it sounds hyperbolic but when I saw the [LiDAR] imagery, it did bring me to tears.”
