Tunnel found under temple in Mexico
May 30, 2011

Researchers found a tunnel under the Temple of the Snake in the pre-Hispanic city of Teotihuacan, about 28 miles northeast of Mexico City.

The tunnel had apparently been sealed off around 1,800 years ago.

Researchers of Mexico's National University made the finding with a radar device. Closer study revealed a "representation of the underworld," in the words of archaeologist Sergio Gomez Chavez, of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History.

"At the end, there are several chambers which could hold the remains of the rulers of that Mesoamerican civilization. If confirmed, it will be one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 21st century on a global scale," Gomez Chavez said late Thursday.

1. Could be Mayan drug smugglers, IMHO.

2. I just love that they're still finding such valuable, interesting, and pristine archaelogical sites.

I was stunned to hear that they've discovered nine or ten heretofore unsuspected pyramids in Egypt using satellites.
Such very exciting times...

3. Pooey on the MidEast. Eastern Europe! Dig there!

Real old sites and we know know damn all about them.

And now that I have been convinced that there is a connection between Chinese and Sumerian language and script, I want to know where the contact point was and how it branched.

4. Huh? There is no known relation between the Sino-Tibetan languages and Sumerian.

5. The tunnel is within this complex by the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan.
