Lake Titicaca Revisited

It'll be interesting to see how hundreds of square miles of geoglyphs, estimated to be in the neighborhood of 13,000 years old, are eventually explained by more conservative scholars.

Prior to Flynn, an even less credible source for speculation came from Zecharia Sitchin who claimed, among other things, that the existing ruins around Lake Titicaca in Bolivia showed evidence of extensive mining operations, oddly enough, during roughly the same prehistoric period around 13,000 years ago.

There's certainly a lot bizarre baggage attached to prehistoric theories of ancient civilizations, to be sure. What always intrigues me, however, are discoveries like this... regardless of how much the discoverer jumps the gun on theorizing what it might mean.
