The archaeology network tied the revolt back to the traditional struggle of
the Mayan people against Spanish law...going back several hundred years. Is
there any truth (should any credibility be given) to the archaeologist's view?
Is this simply a continuation of a struggle and NAFTA is simply an excuse for
the current outbreak of hostilities?
