If it is true, why did he wait twenty years to come forward??
"The Jaffray plan shows 19 small-scale village nations -- featuring landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and an Aztec pyramid -- around the lake. "
"Epcot has 11 large-scale village nations -- with landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and an Aztec pyramid -- around a lake. "
First of all, the pyramid is Mayan, not Aztec. Secondly, like someone else said previously, when you think of France, what icon do you think of? Just because two people had similar ideas, doesn't mean one copied off of the other.

This guy waited until right before he died in 2000 to bring this up; Epcot had been around for 18 years at the time. Whether or not his claims are valid, waiting nearly two decades to make it an issue doesn't speak too well of the situation.
