August 2015 saw the stunning discovery of something shocking beneath the fabled El Castillo temple in the heart of Mexico.
In the heart of Mexico, a startling discovery was made in August 2015 beneath the legendary El Castillo temple in Chichen Itza. A thorough investigation of the site was started by researchers who were worried about the temple’s structural integrity because they had discovered a sinkhole. Their research revealed an enormous architectural mystery: the grand pyramid itself contains nested pyramids.
The pyramid at Chichen Itza is not a stand-alone building, according to experts. Instead, it is a sequence of three pyramids that are nestled inside one another, much like Russian dolls. This is neither a unique architectural occurrence, nor is it limited to Chichen Itza. Both Djoser’s pyramid in Saqqara, Egypt, and the Great Pyramid of Cholula, close to Mexico City, have a similar pattern.
In the past, it was common practice to employ the same architectural ideas, building techniques, and dimensions repeatedly, almost like a template. The key query that comes to mind is: Why did ancient societies rebuild these structures so frequently?
Theorists of ancient astronauts present a thought-provoking notion. They raise the possibility that aliens, who are thought by some to have affected prehistoric building, may have had particular, as-yet-unidentified goals. Was there a trend toward bigger, more expansive architectural designs as the structures changed over time? Were these buildings used for any unidentified technological purpose?
Looking farther into the past reveals that the concept of a global grid linking these holy locations is not entirely new. Plato and other ancient Greek philosophers held that sacred sites were purposefully positioned along specific lines across the face of the Earth. When researcher Ivan T. Sanderson developed a planetary grid based on Plato’s ideas in the 1960s, this idea gained traction. Building on Sanderson’s model, later academics proposed a global geometric design, with the Great Pyramid serving as its epicenter.
Surprisingly, Russian experts compiled a global database of more than 3,300 stone buildings. According to their research, each and every one of them fit into this geometric grid design. This grid includes, among other places, Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, megaliths in West Africa, and the pyramids in Peru and Mexico.
It’s possible that these historic sites were not placed at random. It is hypothesised that these well connected locations worked together like a complex circuit board, enhancing the power of each individual link.
