Interesting article, thanks for sharing it. It's nice to see National Geographic finally publish something non drug-related about Colombia.

El trabajo realizado por La National Geographic y todos sus productos: El canal, la revista, la página web me parecen de las cosas mas maravillosas y placenteras para seguirles el rastro. Veo mucho el canal NatGeo y me encantan todos los temas que ellos abordan en los campos de la ciencia, la tecnología, la naturaleza (mi favorita), las diferentes culturas del mundo, la arqueologia... Todos temas de gran interés y desarrollados con altisima calidad. Imagines absolutamente increibles!.

Hello angelita, later in the article they say that her mouth may have been open from being moved, prior to being laid to rest. I hope she was not buried alive.

Good article, good find!
