Thanks for your comment. And I'm ...Hi Richard:<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. And I'm glad you posted something on the Colavito site--I think we're all a bit tired of the so-called experts and their dismissive attitudes. Having said that, I do think we revisionists can do a better job stating our case. There was no reason for the "America Unearthed" team to leave themselves so wide open for criticism. When you play "hide the ball" with much of your evidence, you can't be surprised when people start questioning your research!<br />David Brodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623785833025125583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197787519649202369.post-26376228776817183662012-12-29T16:00:59.415-05:002012-12-29T16:00:59.415-05:00Hey! This is Richard Thornton, who was on America...Hey! This is Richard Thornton, who was on America Unearthed. I wrote a comment to that nasty editorial! Here it is . . .<br /><br />You got it wrong. The Track Rock terraces are theoretically open to the public, but access has been blocked by the USFS sawing down over 100 trees over the trail. Also, the USFS vistor's center refuses to tell people where it is. Last spring, after allowing the Travel Channel to film the site, the USFS refused to allow the History Channel or National Geographic Magazine to film, photograph or even visit the site. <br /><br />They filmed me for over eight hours. About 98% was left out of the program. Unfortunately, this was the part where I described the research work being done by many Muskogean researchers into the evidence that Mesoamericans and South Americans migrated to the Southeast. It is not "one man's crusade" as some bloggers are saying. It also left out that I studied Mesoamerican Architecture and Urban Planning in Mexico, and have taught that subject at Georgia Tech. None of the archaeologists who have criticized my book have even been in Mexico. They also know diddlysquat about Creek Indian history, genetics or language.<br /><br />Well, I can't complain though. I merely wrote an article to attract attention to the site from archaeologists. Georgia archaeologists made assholes out of themselves instead. The stink attracted the national media, and I got to be on a national TV show. Life is a box of chocolates.Richard Thorntonhttp://www.peopleofonefire.comnoreply@blogger.com
