MessageToEagle.com – One of the earliest civilizations that developed under Olmec influnce is represented by an unknown complex of ruins located near Mexico City and known by its Aztec name – Teotihuacan – “place of the gods”.
The Aztecs did not build this city; it was already there when the Aztecs arrived. There are no written documents of this civilization and the ruins of its capital were covered by vegetation when the first Spaniards reached it.
The pyramids of Teotihuacan are but one part of an expansive city designed to be a perfect reflection of heaven and its features are unparalleled elsewhere in the world.
There is something mysterious and definitely unearthly about Teotihuacan’s deserted streets and its secrets.
Even today there are many unanswered questions: we know neither Teotihuacan’s original name, nor who built the city, nor what inspired the construction of these stunning pyramids.
Builders were master architects and highly skilled craftsmen with good knowledge of the heavenly bodies. The dimensions for the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and even Neptune and Pluto were apparently known to them.
One of many never solved mysteries of Teotihuacan has to do with the so-called mica chambers.
In 1983, archaeologists stumbled upon cellear rooms with unusual ceilings that are insulated by a layer of mica inserted between two layers of stone (stone-mica-stone) to a total thickness of approximately 6 inches (15 cm).
Mica, also known as muscovite (“Moscow glass”) is a component of granite. It is a colorless mineral that glimmers like a pearl. Chemically calcium silicate, it possesses very special properties.
It is highly elastic, heat-resistant up to 1470 degrees F (800 degrees C) and resistant to both sudden temperature changes (heat/cold) and organic acids. It is unclear what purpose these special rooms served.
According to one theory, the heat was generated inside the chambers and the rooms may have served as smelting ovens.
