POPSCrystal skulls in British, US Museums Are Fakes Indiana Jones would have probably taken as a fool by these as the British Museum Skull was bought 127 years ago and the Smithsonian was bought in 1960. If some of the best scientists, archaeologists, and anthropologists were fooled by the fakes, could have anyone ever have accidentally discovered the deception with only a cursory look? The Legend of the Crystal Skulls and their curse (or blessing - see story) have circulated for decades... nothing like true modern technology and skepticism to ruin a great myth of the paranormal!

POPSLaw in Mexico Before the Conquest It makes one wonder how the Spanish could say the Aztec were un-civilized people, when one finds out more and more how the so called civilized European's came to South America and Turtle Island.

POPS200yr old MexicanTime Capsule found in church tower The capsule contained a small case of wax blessed by the pope. The blessing seems to have had a use by date. The capsule also contained coins, a parchment listing the contents, and a number of palm frond crosses said to be for protection from the rain. (Apparently it flooded a lot.) They plan to put a new time capsule into the ball when it is closed again, but they wont say what will be in it. (They want it to be a surprise)

POPSChocolate Beer 3000 years old Should Make some. Looks like it was invented before chocolate drinks. I haven't found a recipe, but it could just be a matter of knowing how to brew.
