5 UNEXPECTED ANCIENT ARTIFACTS FOUND HIDDEN UNDERGROUND BENEATH THE IMPOSING TEMPLES

FOUND HIDDEN UNDERGROUND BENEATH THE IMPOSING TEMPLES OF MEXICAN ANCIENT CITY OF TEOTIHUAC.

Beneath the imposing temples and pyramids of Mexico's ancient city of Teotihuacan, an intriguing but toxic mystery lurks - shimmering pools of liquid mercury.
Teotihuacan, a pre-Columbian urban center dating back to 100 BC, was one of the largest cities in the ancient world, boasting a populace of over 100,000 at its peak.

The city is noted for its architectural complexity, with structures like the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent all connected amongst numerous residences by the Avenue of the Dead.

It was beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent that a sealed-off passage was discovered in 2015, which led to a tunnel deep beneath the ground.

When 21st-century archeologists dared to venture down into it, they could not, in their wildest dreams, have imagined what they would find.

Mexican archeologist Sergio Gomez Chavez led the subterranean expedition after chancing upon the tunnel himself. He later recalled the potent stench of the tunnels upon unsealing them. The smell was almost unbearable, but it confirmed that he was entering caverns that had lain undisturbed for millennia.
At first, the archeologists encountered undisturbed treasures exactly where ancient hands had placed them as divine offerings.
