Miseducational Television

I watched a show on the Dicovery Channel tonight called Unsolved History. I was eager to see it because the topic was about the major Aztec Temple (Templo Mayor).

Unfortunately, the show was a bust. Many of the facts they stated were just plain wrong. The perspective was decidedly Eurocentric (Aztecs were not Indians, the savagery of the Aztecs - but no word about the Inquisition, and so on). And rather than educational, it was sensationalistic.

There are some programs I like on the Discovery Channel, but I think I will stick to PBS for true educational programming. That's too bad.
