The solution to determine if the rock pile discovered by Everett Bassett is the mass burial site for Mountain Meadows massacre victims seems a no-brainer. I'm not a paleontologist, archeologist or any other -ologist, but logic tells me if you remove the rocks, you will find human bones or other evidence of a mass burial. Shannon Novak states, "It may be hard to prove Bassett's conclusion, but he has made a solid argument for the sites being the actual graves." Rock by rock, you'll find your proof.
