Aerial view of Punta Ycacos Lagoon, Belize, annotated with the locations of #Maya sites.
Underwater excavation found the earliest evidence for Maya salt production, which supplemented the region's salt-deficient staples of corn, beans & squash.

The Atlantic has updated their article to correct some of Frum's mistakes. However they didn't correct his denialist stuff. I work 50 meters from a lab where they recently identified a body recovered from a GPR search. A child who died at residential school, and was finally returned to their family.

Residential school denialists - who hitched their wagon to OneBC (which has now imploded over support for a neo-Nazi who has openly denied the Holocaust) - are now trying to move on with their rage stunts without the OneBC baggage - but the damage’s been done.
