WTF Is Up With These Carvings?

The Aztlan Collection is polarizing, and uncanny. But is it at all legitimate?

The collection consists of artifacts that appear to show ancient aliens or alien-human interaction. These artifacts come from the Cerro del Toro region of Jalisco, Mexico, and are said to be up to 8,400 years old.

They come from a cache of artifacts that was buried to hide them from the Spanish. Most are what’s known as “geopolymers,” essentially ceramic mixtures, sometimes riddled with roots or mineral crusts.

Are they really made 8,400 years ago, or have they been doctored more recently? Let’s take a gander at the science. Here’s more from Dan Richards on Dedunking.

Drug Cartel Ravaging Mexico

Mexico is under siege from vicious members of an embattled drug cartel. They have unleashed havoc across the country, particularly attacking tourist and commercial hotspots including Puerto Vallarta.

The U.S. Embassy has issued an emergency security alert for Americans living in five Mexican provinces — Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero and Nuevo León. Americans in those provinces should seek out safe quarters and remain inside while the violence occurs. Two of those provinces are directly south of Texas, while the others lie along the Pacific Coast in the vicinity of Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta.

The firestorm has been touched off  by the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho,” leader of Jalisco’s New Generation Cartel. The Mexican Army, which gunned down Cervantes, has reported a surge of kidnappings, torched buildings and road blockages following his death. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.
