Category: Urban Legends
snopes.com has been debunking and sometimes bunking urban legends for many years now. It is an invaluable reference. It has a discussion of one of the funniest things I have ever read: a letter purportedly from the Smithsonian to an amateur archaeologist. This page contains an interview with the letter's author.
During my search for this letter, I came across some of the writings of the late Dr Herman Smith: "Articles on Archaeology and the Maya on Ambergris Caye, Belize". One of his articles is The Letter with some different names attached.
All interesting stuff.
