Analysis of Treasures of Honduras
Jade beads and marble vases,
Illuminated by glowing skulls.
Ancient clues to long lost peoples,
Deep in caves through narrow tunnels.
Air changes with a whisper,
Trapping lives in an evidential ice.
Our scant knowledge,
Comforted by our usual assumptions.
A world reborn in a flash light beam.
