From the section on the Pyramid of the Magician at Uxmal, Yucatan.
The Pyramid of the Magician was by no means unique in being associated with the supernatural powers of dwarfs, whose architectural and masonry skills were widely renowned in Central merica.
The only midgets ever associated with Uxmal are the present day administration who have NFI how to present such a fascinating complex to visitors.
The evening '
stage play' fed to visitors is so bad as to be laughable.

Hey Min. - I've just been a little busy. Had to babysit grandson part of the day.
I think I'll finish reading the book and then we can see if we want to kick it around some.
There is a new show on History channel called Lost Worlds. Not bad at all. Good computer imaging. Ancient Athens is the topic now - probably on your TV later.

Yep - me too. You know about it then. I don't think Athens is quite that good so far.
