Teen uses Google Maps to discover lost Mayan city
Back when I was a digger [field archaeologist], I was told that the time was coming when the squints [the lab techs] would be the ones to find all of the major discoveries of the 21st century. We just never thought it would be some teenager using free software.
Personally, I miss the days when one had to machete through jungle undergrowth dodging bandidos, jaguars, and narco-mercenaries to find a lost city but, then again, I'm probably too old for that, now.
Nah.
Update: Whoops, looks like this story was a little premature. Read to the bottom of this article for word from some informed skeptics. Diggers win again.
