Ancient Discoveries: Pyramids

Wow! I just love this stuff. When we think we know our world extremely well, we find hidden civilization’s ruins. Here’s just some of the exciting pyramid finds:

CHINA

We hear about pyramids in the Americas and Egypt, but now China can add itself to the list of brilliant ancient cultures with such knowledge. It’s long been known that China had pyramids that were small and built for mausoleums and burial mounds, but this find appears to be different.

The first pyramid was found in the Fuxian Lake in the Yunnan Province. Divers took a look at the first building which was 19 meters high and 90 meters long. It appeared to be built in pyramidal shape for a higher civilization and possibly a sacrificial alter. Sonar mapping revealed another 30 measurable and sizable “pyramids,” as well as nine buildings with similar scale of the one discovered. These resemble Mayan pyramids with flat tops for performing activities. There is also a round building like a coliseum.

Gengwei, a professional diver, told reporters on December 19th, 2005, that images from sonar scans showed that a large relic covering at least 2.4 square kilometers sits underwater in Fuxian Lake. He said eight main buildings were found all under the water, including a round building and two large high buildings with floors that liken to the Mayan pyramids of Latin America. The round one has been described as similar to a colosseum in architecture, with a 37-meter wide base and a gap to the northeast. One of the large, high buildings has three floors, a 60-meter wide base and lots of small steps linking the floors. Another is even larger, with a 63-meter wide base standing five floors and a total 21 meters high. A 300-meter long and 5 to 7 meter wide rock road connects the two buildings. The complex, located in present-day southern Yunnan province, is believed to be from an ancient civilization dating back to the Qin and Han dynasties, approximately 2,000 years ago.


CUBA

Ocean engineer, Paulina Zelitsky in Havana, Cuba about her finding earlier in 2000,
"possibly a sunken city built in the pre-classic period and populated by an advanced civilization similar to the early Teotihuacan culture of Yucatan.... Researchers using sonar equipment have discovered at a depth of about 2,200 feet (700-800 meters) a huge land plateau with clear images of what appears to be urban development partly covered by sand. From above, the shapes resemble pyramids, roads and buildings." (Earthfiles May 18, 2001)

MEXICO

Outside of Mexico City a pyramid was discovered under a hill called “Hill of the Star” used for reenactments of the crucifixion of Christ. This was built 1500 years ago by a culture that has since vanished called the Teotihuacans.

I love to start conversations about speculation. I’d love to have ya’all feel free to comment on what you think is up with all these pyramids happening sometimes simultaneously, sometimes centuries apart, but still carrying similar characteristics.

Do you think there was ocean travel allowing access to information?

Was it the influence of aliens using technology to help them be built?

Is it just the most structurally sound and “easy” to build structure and the logical choice by early builders?

How did they move rocks and fit them so tightly?

This is one of my favorite subjects of speculation. I hope it’s one of yours too.
