“Large Quantites” Of Liquid Mercury Found Underneath Oldest Pyramid In Mexico

Amazing discoveries continue to emerge from the strange world of archaeology and ancient history. This time, an archaeologist by the name of Sergio Gomez has discovered “large quantities” of liquid mercury in a chamber underneath the third largest pyramid of Teotihuacan (feathered serpant), a very ancient city located in Mexico.
The city is commonly referred to as the abode of the gods in the ancient language Nahuatl. Approximately 200,000 people are thought to have lived there between 100 and 700 A.D. Little is known about its people or how they mysteriously disappeared without a trace, as with so many other ancient civilizations.
According to the Guardian:
“Gómez has spent six years slowly excavating the tunnel, which was unsealed in 2003 after 1,800 years. Last November, Gómez and a team announced they had found three chambers at the tunnel’s 300ft end, almost 60ft below the temple. Near the entrance of the chambers, they found a trove of strange artifacts: jade statues, jaguar remains, a box filled with carved shells and rubber balls.”
This isn’t the first time a discovery like this has been made. Liquid Mercury has been found at three other sites around Central America. Here is another example that comes from Belize, where an equally striking find of liquid mercury was cached under the central ballcourt marker. (source)
These are very interesting discoveries that further add to the already complex mystery of the Pyramid structures that exist not only in Mexico, but all over the world.
Why were these structures built in multiple places around the world by civilizations that had no contact with each other – and at different time periods throughout ancient history? How were they built? How did these civilizations know facts about the cosmos that could only be determined with the advanced technology we now possess?
There are so many unanswered questions, and the liquid mercury aspect just adds more pieces to the puzzle.
What Does This Mean? Why Did They Use Liquid Mercury?
Rosemary Joyce, a professor of anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, said that archaeologists have found mercury at three other sites around Central America. So this isn’t something new. But why? (source)
One explanation, outlined in research published in Science in 1975 by archaeoastronomer John Carlson, demonstrated that a hematite object excavated at the Olmec site of San Lorenzo, in the Gulf Coast of Mexico could act as a compass oriented to magnetic north if it was floated on liquid mercury. Carlson suggested that the Olmec might have used liquid mercury for this purpose. Other scholars have stated with absolute certainty that liquid mercury was used starting at approximately 1000 BC.
