NGT is a stooge to the Global Warming religious Cabal. He may be a great astrophysicist, but a "smart guy" he is not.

Well, there you go mis-using data again.

The article you posted mentions the Mayans using the movements of certain stars and constellations to determine the rainy seasons just as I stated. But the "Calendar Stone" you mention as containing constellations is the same stone so often depicted as being the "Mayan…

I don’t thin you know much about what the “known Mayan astrological work” really is. If you did, you would not say that the kid’s theory is possible. The Maya tracked the paths of sacred planets (particularly Venus) in order to plan their dates for sacrifices and other sacred events, and tracked the solstice dates to…

The kid doesn’t have one shred of “evidence”. He has a system of constellations that he alone invented (and claimed to have found in the Madrid Codex which is impossible). He took that invented system of constellations and supposedly scaled and rotated each one to fit groupings of cities that he alone chose to match…

“They know that he has more evidence than them"...huh?...what "evidence"...pictures of clearings in the jungle?

“Desde luego que la foto muestra algo de forma cuadrangular"... EXACTAMENTE!!! Y solo un adolescente sin nada de experiencia ni en arqueologia ni interpretacion de fotos satelitales pensaria que los "piramides mayas" aparecieran como "formas cuadrangular" en la selva.

“DesdeLuego que la foto meustra alog de forma cuadrangular”

Fortunately this site “deep in the jungle” comes complete with airstrip. Airstrip=earthmoving equipment=nice roads

Yes his hypothesis is testable and falsifiable. However he has chosen to declare it true because he, and he alone, "matched 22 constellations to 117 cities". Give 10 other people a try at it, and see if they independently match the same constellations to the same cities, then, just maybe then you are actually doing…

Normally middle-school science-fair project would not even get the opportunity to be shit upon. However this one made the news. And numerous scientists took up the cause of the boy, claiming that his theories had real scientific merit, and even that his methodology was “impeccable”.... this nonsense needed to be…

Are you actually saying that the "theory" of a middle-school student with no real experience or training in archaeology, astronomy or aerial photo interpretation is "equally valid" as the expert opinions of dozens of archaeologists who say his "theory" is complete nonsense?

His “theories” are childish fantasies; and barely merit being presented in a middle-school science fair (where they should have stayed).

The point is, the nature of that square clearing is completely irrelevant. Whether it’s a grow op, corn field or clear cut, it’s definitely NOT a Mayan ruin.

Well, chopper “could” land in that dry lake bed, but it seems an unnecessary expense. There is, in all likelihood a trail from the village to the lake.

You won’t see anything more from a drone or chopper than you see in the satellite photos. A LIDAR flight is all you’d need to get the lay of the land, but only ground truthing can “confirm” a discovery.

Ancient Astraunaut Theorist say “Yes”!

Color me equally aggravated! I call it scientific illiteracy. Anyone who can’t tell the difference between “scientific research” and a “middle school science fair project” needs to go BACK to middle school!

I don’t get it, I’m not French Canadian. But there’s certainly nothing wrong with having a good laugh at young William’s expense. He certainly made a fool of himself by buying into this “jealousy” nonsense that is sweeping the anti-intellectual community on the web.

He’s referring to the thousands of US based posters who have characterized the REAL scientists criticizing his middle-school science-fair project turned “astounding discovery” as “jealous”. That’s classic American anti-intellectualism.
