Archaeologists unearth liquid mercury under the ancient Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico. What in the world is it doing there? Archaeologists recently announced the discovery of “large quantities” of mercury at the entrance of a burial chamber sixty feet below the pre-Aztec city of Teotihuacan. The find is a recent development in a six year-long excavation of the ruins of the Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent. So far, the sacred tunnels have yielded about 50,000 artifacts, such as stone sculptures and obsidian knives—the mercury, however, may be a key to unlocking an even greater mystery. Some archeologists believe the toxic element could herald what would be the first ruler’s tomb ever found in Teotihuacan, a contemporary of several ancient Maya cities, but so shrouded in mystery that its inhabitants still have no name. Why might royals have their tombs placed around quicksilver? Lead archaeologist Sergio Gomez has a theory about the Teotihuacan pyramids. Please, I need your honest feedback on this video generally and my narration (especially the accent). Drop a comment. Unsure why the mercury was put there, Gomez says the metal may have been used to symbolize an underworld river or lake. #StayHome #WithMe #TeotihuacanPyramids Please subscribe now to get the latest news on archaeology, ancient history and civilizations and world mythology (including Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian and other Mythologies) Please like and share with friends and family members on social media and elsewhere.
