MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2002 Preservation officials in Mexico fear a dam proposed by their own government will destroy at least 18 culturally and historically significant Mayan sites. Archaeologists also call the plan a major disaster. They say it would flood Mayan villages, including undiscovered ones. Indian activists say the government is using the dam as part of a larger project to turn Indian communities into tourist attractions. The dam will provide needed electricity, supporters argue.
