Christians messing with our heads
Oh ohh… another “gringo gone bad” story:
Twenty three Olmeca artifacts were “irretrivably damaged” this week by members of the “New Generation” church, who for some reason “annointed” the Olmeca objects — including the iconographic heads that are a symbol of Tabasco and the Olmec culture. Restoration and conservation costs (which will not completely restore the objects) is estimated at 300,000 Pesos.

An oil-based mixure, including salt and grape juice, was smeared on the archeological objects, located at Parque Museo La Venta in Villahermosa. An un-named American citizen led the group, which the Mexican Pentacostal Church, Neuva Generacion Internacional (founded by a Colombian, and apparently headquarted in Miami claims has no connection with their church.
To appease the gods, the American woman was immediately sacrificed. OK, I made that up, but it’s not a bad idea. The gods are sad.

That’s awful. I was awed by those heads.
