It must have been driving you nuts to watch TV and be like, what are you doing?

That's pretty.

So in terms of like the, you know, being an archeologist and like kind of like the, um, I guess like the day to day, um,

Like I just like give her people because it is, you know, you're out there, you're digging like you have people who like break stuff all the time.

And like, how do you deal?

That must be that must be like really tough, like really high stakes of like a. Yeah.

I was wondering about the theft because I imagine it's like you guys have a pretty decent sized crew digging, you know what I mean?

So I would imagine, you know, if I was just there digging, I wasn't an archaeologist, I would definitely snag like an old mugger.

Like, you know, you'd want to, right?

Yeah, that's my next question.

What do you do for security?

I guess you just said you get security around the site because I'd be kind of like nervous.

I was out in the woods in northern Guatemala and I'm digging precious artifacts.

I would assume someone's going to be like, yeah, let me get that.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you're saying there's just like a ton of stuff that's been found and it's just the matter of taking the time to decipher and figure it out.

So in terms of like, you know, do you guys have a good sense of like what the Mayans, I guess, like philosophy, the religious worldview was and, you know, where were they at and how do they compare to like Aztecs or is there like big differences?

That's pretty cool.

From just like the little bit I read about the Cortes and the Aztecs, there was this idea with the Aztecs that like if they didn't complete the sacrifices, like that blood, the blood was like some universal life force that they would like, you know, display to appease the gods.

And if they didn't, the skies would literally crash down.
