I disagree with both of your observations. The Wikipedia entry is truthful. Savoy's claims that the so-called "city" of Gran Saposoa "dates back from the seventh century A.D., and includes thousands of circular stone buildings covering 80 square miles and is estimated to have housed 20,000 people" are preposterous, unsubstantiated and typical of the fraudulent grandstanding that nurtured the man's immense, deluded ego. There are no Chachapoya settlements with "thousands of circular stone buildings" anywhere. Kuelap has less than 500 such structures. The articles published by his so-called bona fide archaeologists are drivel... no maps of cities, no photographs of cities... just people posing next to stone walls or burial chambers. Nothing substantiated. Blaming the Peruvian government for the looting is outrageous. Did they really believe that the Peruvian National Institute of Culture had the resources to protect this remote frontier?
Change the entry if you want. It will be changed back sooner or later because people are learning the truth. ChachaScholar (talk) 06:18, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- I apologize; I thought I made only one observation--that you are a new user, which is why I welcomed you. Again, my apologies. Drmies (talk) 06:58, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
