FINDING LOST CIVILIZATIONS This

That afternoon we visited the townmuseum and saw numerous intact and ancientclay bowls that had been found in thelocal area. Many of these bowls containedlinear striations on the inside bottom, whichmatched the fragment I had found on Andreas’land. It was also very exciting to seethat these bowls generally matched thepainted designs or styles of the fragments Ihad seen in Zacualpan, Guayabitos, and ElMonteon.Before I left San Pedro Lagunillas I returnedto the Terebinto trees and thankedthe gods of past and present for revealingthemselves to me. A Greek poet once said,“Look and you will find it—what is unsoughtwill go undetected.”My journey continues.64
