when you find out.

I can pretty much guess what my anth prof would've said. His comments on digging in the Sahara without a beer were the biggest indictment of Qadaffi I've ever heard. A movie about the failure of Mayan society based upon their religious practices would've made him bay at the moon. Me, too for that matter, since most theories of Mayan failure have to do with a cautionary tale about over-extending consumption in a fragile eco-system.

But, of course, like any miserable, ignorant wingnut, Saddam-beard Mel has found a religious angle.

And to think Dino DeLaurentiis chose to make "Dune" instead of "Aztec" when he had the rights to Gary Jennings gorgeous novel!
