2 Mysterious tombs found under the ancient Mayan pyramids

Two hidden tombs discovered under two Ancient Mayan pyramid in Guatemala. Miraculously, both of tombs was escaped from the target of tomb raiders. These burial sites, which have been built around 650-700 AD and was found in the ruins of an ancient city named Holmul, located about 482 kilometers north of Guatemala City.

Archaeologists discovered an unusually large tomb within a pyramid (pictured) at the ruins of Xunantunich in Belize. Beside the stairs leading to the tomb, they found three hieroglyphic panels  (covered by green screen left and blue tarpaulen right). (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gDRO0)

According to the DailyMail, the experts hope their findings will reveal more secrets about the mysterious Mayan dynasty known as the 'King Snake' or Kaanul. Archaeologists gave this nickname based on the findings of the family crest in the form of a snake's head. Kaanul dynasty ruled the area as far as 160 kilometers to the north of the tomb in Holmul. And Holmul city was abandoned when the Mayan civilization has declined between the 8th and the 9th centuries.

One tomb containing the bones of a middle-aged man who probably was a member of the Mayan nobles. It can be recognized from jade ornament on one of his teeth. "The skeleton also comes with a written tibia, so it is considered as the very, very rare finding," says the researcher Francisco Estrada-Belli as told to The Guardian.

The tomb was found at the bottom of the pyramid built on older structures. However, an inscription written on the bone eroded so badly that the researchers difficult to read it. Inside the tomb, the researchers also found objects made from shells, jade, obsidian and human bones, as well as ceramics. An engraving that was nearby shows the names of five Ancien Mayan rulers, but the skeleton was in the tomb is not one of those who were written, said Estrada-Belli.

At the second tomb found two rooms. Researchers believe that both rooms were previously functioning as the rooms of the palace. The researcher team also found the remains of middle-age man, along with benches of stone, ceramics and jade.

A jade pendant with the inscription found in the tomb was the first object that mention the name of a king snake. The text on the back side of the sun-god jade pendant reads 'Y-uuh Yuknoom U-ti Chan Kaanul Ajaw'. Alexandre Tokovinine, the team's epigraphs expert, said the meaning of the text is 'on Behalf Yuknoom Uti Chaan, the Holy King of Kaanul'.

The pendant is believed to belong to the king of the completely different city, Dzibanche, which is now located in Mexico. "It looks a like the story of Game of Thrones or Europe in the Middle Ages," Estrada-Belli said. And these Snake kings estimated to have been at war with the neighboring kingdoms like Holmul when they dominated most of the world's of ancient Mayan about 1,500 years ago.

Although this Snake Dynasty reigning of Calakmul in Mexico, but during the Late Classic period, the origins of the dynasty actually originated elsewhere. The last king of Snake dynasty allegedly ruled his kingdom from Dzibanche.

The researchers believe that there will be more discoveries in the region. And Estrada-Belli said that by the using of new technologies will reveal many undiscovered ancient cities. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILYMAIL | THE GUARDIAN]

Does this mysterious piece of metal was the proof of the aliens ever visited Earth?

According to several scientists in Romania, the discovery of an ancient metal piece touted as proof that aliens had visited our Earth about 250,000 years ago. These ancient metal pieces were discovered in Romania in 1973, when the country was still under the Communist regimes.

A piece aluminium that looks as if it was handmade is being hailed as 250,000-year-old proof that aliens once visited the Earth. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gBUnn)

Now, after being tested at a laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland, found that 90 percent of the ancient metal is aluminum with the age was about 250,000 years old. The object is 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) long, 12.5 centimetres (4.9 inches) wide and 7 centimetres (2.8 inches) thick.

According to records, aluminum is the metal coumpound produced by humans newly about 200 years ago. Therefore the findings of ancient aluminum was considered shocking by scientists.

In 1973, builders working on the shores of the Mures River not far from the central Romanian town of Aiud found three objects 10 metres (33 feet) under the ground. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gBUnn)

"Laboratory test results concluded that the object is a piece of a UFO, considering that the metal content in it is not in accordance with the technology on the Earth at that time," said Gheorghe Cohal, Deputy Director of the Romanian Ufologis Association, as quoted by Daily Mail.

This mysterious ancient metal was discovered by the workers when they were building a construction on the banks of Mures River, not far from the city of Aiud. The metal was found 10 meters in the ground, side by side with the two pieces of bone.

The piece of metal was originally to be the end of an axe. And now gone on display in the History Museum of Cluj-Napoca, with a sign that reads 'origin still unknown'. But Local historian Mihai Wittenberger claims that the object is actually a metal piece from a World War II German aircraft. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gBUnn)

And the two bones were thought to belong to a giant prehistoric mammals that died about 10,000 to 80,000 years ago. But when examined, the scientists were surprised because the metal piece is very light and apparently produced by those who already have advanced technology.

But the speculation was denied by a local historian named Mihai Wittenberger. He said the metal is one of the German aircraft parts in the World War II era. He believes that it is a piece of the landing gear from a Messerschnmitt ME 262.

The object is now on display at the History Museum of Cluj-Napoca, complete with a description that makes it even more mysterious: "origin still unknown." *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]
