This hero worship attitude is one the reasons I have no desire to go on one of those mormon archeology trips to South America, and with awe, look at the sandal print that might have been made by Alma.
I don't like those trips because none of those people really know what they're talking about. If we wish to discuss pre-Columbian MesoAmerica, then fine, but let's not take our religious beliefs and treat them as if they are academically established.
