You're right.  It's entirely Mormon propaganda.  They lost me at this guy stole millions of dollars in treasure in the early 20th Century, deprived the Mexican people of some of their heritage and Harvard refuses to return these treasures to their rightful owner - the Mexican government.  I wonder how these antiquities thieves would feel if someone robbed their house then paraded around their tv and jewelry in a museum?  I hate it when somebody thinks it's just fine to go in and rob a poor country like Mexico of it's national treasures. 

 

At any rate, only a Mormon would think the Mayans were Mormon.  If Mormons are really Mayans, they need to get busy on the violence and human sacrifice.  I understand in their heyday, they were quite a bloody bunch.  I propose they start with political candidates.

Yeah ! Then they can claim their religious freedom gives them the right to rip a beating heart from a mans chest. The Easter Parade's got nothing on that.

You know my initial reaction is extreme irritation and befuddlement, but yeah, you have to laugh.
