I couldn’t get past your paywall to comment on your Maya post. I humbly correct you on two points: The Maya are a people and Mayan is a language. It is not correct to refer to their civilization as “Mayan.” It is “Maya Civilization” or “Maya culture.” We refer to them as “The Maya.”

Secondly, the Aztecs and the Maya existed at the same time.

This is pseudo science.

Simplifying a highly complex field into a few words like "scatter" takes all meaning out of it.

If anyone is actually interested in facts (OMG not facts!), they can find immense amounts of detail including technical explanations on such scientific sites as the Smithsonian.

Not worth the read.

what’s all this about C14 forming from N14 in sunlight? That happens in the upper atmosphere due to neutron bombardment. Nitrogen might get into bones on the ground, but it's not going to become C14. N14 is stable in sunlight.
