This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I've found that most people do better if they work up to 'Hamlet's=20
Mill'. I generally recommend that people first read Anthony Aveni's
'Stairways to the Stars' and William Sullivan's 'The Secret of
the Incas' before they tackle 'Hamlet's Mill'. The first is a good
general work on what's called archaeoastronomy these days, the=20
second is a specific application of the ideas and methodology
described in 'Hamlet's Mill' to the history and archaeology of
Andean civilization.
