Anyone know exactly where this is? Read both of the articles and I must have missed it. Here is another article in English from the Spanish: http://www.thenews.com.mx/...ome.asp?cve_home=189

Here is another article that at least mentions something however confusing as to the exact location: http://www.boston.com/...rld_found_in_mexico/

"Archeologists Victoria Rojas (front) and Lara Hindersten (back) work at a site at the village of Tahtzibichen in Merida, Yucatan Peninsula, April 12, 2008."
"Tahdzibichen" can be found on Google earth on the outskirts of Mérida.
