Bulldozers at Work Again
Just weeks after an international outcry over the the destruction of a Mayan pyramid in Belize, it has been reported that developers have bulldozed another Pre-Columbian era pyramid in Peru, and have damaged up to eleven others at the site. It makes little sense for the US State Department and US Customs to preclude Americans from importing things like Pre-Columbian pottery from Peru when Peruvian authorities can't be bothered to protect such sites from development until AFTER the bulldozers do their work. Peru is another malefactor source country as far as I'm concerned.
