I can visualize some archaeologists and anthropologists getting really cynical about them and mumbling something about "how the popular press treats science."
From the article:
>>The three Maya skeletons were found in the Puyil cave, which is in the Tacotalpa municipality of Tabasco state, located in southern Mexico.
>>One set is up to 7,000 years old, while the other two are thought to date back around 4,000 years.
Good thing I just got back from Costco with a fresh supply of bullchip filters...
And boyhowdy, the Von Däniken crowd is going to have a field day with that "elongated skull."

The other possibility, looking at the spelling of "civilisation," is someone from the British tabloids had role in this story.
