🔺 PYRAMIDS ENIGMA

by Lygia Cabus
Bosnia: the Pyramids of the Sun, Moon, and Dragon (left/right), located in the Visocica hills; discovered by researcher Semir Osmanagic, they made headlines in October 2005. Osmanagic believes the pyramids were built by the Illyrians—ancient inhabitants of the Balkans—12,000 years ago.

There are nearly 100 pyramids in Egypt; ruins of Mesopotamian pyramids are preserved in Iraq and Iran. They are also found in Mexico; the Nubians — neighbors of the Egyptians in Africa — built pyramids as funerary monuments for their kings in the Nile Valley.

In Europe, pyramid-like structures were extremely rare. One of the few examples is a Roman-era pyramid — the Falicon Pyramid near Nice, France — which scholars speculate may have been built by legionnaires (Roman soldiers) who were adherents of an Egyptian cult.

However, in the last two decades, pyramid ruins have also begun to be discovered in Europe, revealing the construction of these enigmatic monuments to be a global cultural phenomenon. In Ukraine, the ruins of a pyramidal structure were discovered near the city of Luhansk. 

Preliminary estimates date the construction to over 3,000 BC, making this Ukrainian pyramid older than the Giza complex in Egypt — which mainstream historians insist dates back to 2,500 BC. 

According to excavation leader Viktor Klochko, it was the first monument of this type found in Europe.

Between 2005 and 2006, the discovery of pyramids in Bosnia made scientific headlines. The Bosnian pyramids are truly impressive.

There, in Eastern Europe, one of the structures — named the "Pyramid of the Sun" — stands 267 meters tall, compared to the 145 meters of the largest Egyptian structure, the Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops). 

Other pyramids exist at the same archaeological site: the Pyramid of the Dragon and, the most recently discovered, the Pyramid of Love.

In China, archaeologists announced in June 2006 the discovery of a complex of pyramid-tombs dating back over 3,000 years in Jilin province, covering an area of ​​500,000 square meters.

This was not exactly new information, as the first photograph of a Chinese pyramid had appeared back in 1945, during World War II. Since then, more than 100 pyramids have been found, most of them located near the city of Xi'an. 

The largest Chinese pyramids rival the Egyptian ones and the pre-Columbian pyramids of Mexico and Peru in scale and grandeur. 

CHINESE PYRAMIDS & UFOLOGY
The largest of the Chinese pyramids — known as the "White Pyramid" — stands 300 meters tall; it is larger than the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico, and as wide as the Great Pyramid of Giza.


The others range from 35 to 90 meters in height. The pyramids were first photographed during World War II by a United States Air Force pilot flying a supply mission to Chinese forces from Assam, in northern India; engine trouble forced him to fly at a low altitude.


In 1994, German researcher Hartwig Hausdorf traveled through the region, recorded 18 minutes of video, and compiled a report on his findings titled "Die Weisse Pyramide" — a work that remains untranslated to this day. He faces great difficulty continuing his studies because the Chinese government has restricted his access to the area.


In an interview with an American radio station, Hausdorf spoke about the Chinese pyramids and an extraordinary UFO incident in the same region —"the Chinese version of the Roswell Incident." He describes a large number of tombs containing the skeletons of strange humanoids with large heads and a height of 1.5 meters. 


Furthermore, alongside them were hundreds of granite discs bearing strange hieroglyphs. 


The translation of these hieroglyphs recounts a collision 12,000 years ago involving an object "from space" and mentions the existence of slender, yellowish, large-headed humanoid beings that fell from the sky.

IN *  Matrix Phenomenon: Chinese Pyramids 


EXTRATERRESTRIALS

Chinese pyramids were discovered in the early 20th century. According to legend, over a thousand pyramids were built in China more than five thousand years ago by emperors who believed in extraterrestrial civilizations and viewed themselves as "descendants of the gods" — those who came from the heavens aboard "iron dragons."


Most of these pyramids range from 25 to 100 meters in height, with the exception of the Great White Pyramid — the largest of them all at 300 meters — which is considered the "mother" of all the others. A curious feature of these pyramids is their resemblance to those found in Mexico and Guatemala.


On the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands (Spain) —specifically in the small town of Güímar — a complex of six small pyramids was identified in 1991 by Norwegian ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl.


In the past, these structures were more numerous, but they were gradually destroyed by contractors who used the stones for new construction projects.


There were originally nine pyramids in Güímar, rather than the six that remain today. 


Also on Tenerife, pyramids are found in the localities of Santa Bárbara, Santo Domingo, Garachico, Icod de los Vinos, and San Marcos.


Heyerdahl discovered that the stones of the Güímar pyramids did not originate from nearby fields — they were volcanic rock— and that the structures are specifically aligned with astronomical markers.


The age of the pyramids and the people who built them remain completely unknown. Heyerdahl’s hypothesis is that the Canary Islands served as a stopover on a maritime route between the Americas and the Mediterranean.


MEXICO – PYRAMID OF CHICHÉN ITZÁ



"El Castillo" at Chichén Itzá, Mexico, was built in harmony with the Mayan calendar. There are 91 steps on each of the four sides, totaling 364 steps. Including the top platform — shared by all four sides — we reach a total of 365 steps.


Every year, more than 40,000 people visit the great pyramid to see the silhouette of a serpent slowly appear along the side of the staircase as the sun moves. 


Also in Mexico, one hundred kilometers south of the capital, lies the Pyramid of Cholula, which has a larger base footprint than the Pyramid of Cheops.


To the north, the pyramid complex of Teotihuacan covers a plain of nearly 20 square kilometers, and all the excavated structures are aligned with the stars. 


The oldest text regarding Teotihuacan recounts that the gods gathered there to take counsel regarding mankind — even before Homo sapiens existed!

THE MATRIX PHENOMENON: Chichén Itzá


THE FANTASTIC MEASUREMENTS OF THE GREAT PYRAMID

* The height of the Great Pyramid of Egypt—the Pyramid of Cheops — multiplied by one billion, corresponds approximately to the Earth-Sun distance: 149,450,000 km.

* A meridian passing through the center of the pyramid divides the continents and oceans into two exactly equal halves.

* The pyramid's circumference, divided by twice its height, yields Ludolph's number (Pi): 3.1416.

* The pyramid's measurements allow for calculations regarding the Earth's weight.

* The rocky ground upon which the structure stands was carefully and precisely leveled.

* The pyramid is 150 meters tall, weighs 31,200,000 tons, and consists of 2.6 million giant blocks.


THE POWER OF THE PYRAMID

In the 1930s, a French researcher named Antoine Bovis discovered some dead rats inside the Pyramid of Cheops (the largest of the three).


Despite having been dead for several days, these rats showed no signs of decomposition. Some rodents, which had certainly died much earlier, had dehydrated to the point of mummification.


Bovis then asked the locals what was happening, and they told him that no food ever spoiled inside the Great Pyramid.


To put this to the test, the researcher placed a handful of wheat grains and a portion of fresh meat in one of the monument's corridors.


Three days later, he returned to the site and found that, despite the humidity inside the pyramid, the meat remained fresh and the wheat grains had sprouted.


Returning to Paris, Antoine Bovis decided to continue his studies and built a wooden miniature of the Pyramid of Cheops. 


He faithfully replicated the physical proportions and magnetic orientation of the original and began his experiments.


He discovered that fruit placed inside the replica did not rot; instead, it simply dehydrated, and its sweet flavor was intensified. 


Old batteries would recharge after a few days inside the test pyramid, and razor blades regained their original sharpness.


Bovis also observed that the energy was strongest at the level of the "King's Chamber" (in the middle third, slightly above the pyramid's midpoint).


Based on these experiments, he concluded that cellular reorganization occurs within the pyramid and that the structure acts as a condenser of cosmic energy. Source: DIARIOWEB


Current mapping of these intriguing structures reveals that a veritable network of pyramids was built across the globe. Unofficially, the structures are classified into two types: those with a known function, and others whose purpose remains completely unknown.


In many cases, evidence indicates that certain pyramids were used as sites for ceremonies, serving as temples and/or mausoleums.


While conventional archaeology posits that all pyramids served these purposes, not all researchers are convinced; for them, the reason behind the construction of so many pyramids remains a mystery.


Certainly, many pyramids did indeed serve as sites for religious ceremonies and as tombs; however, this argument seems insufficient to explain the determination to erect structures of such gigantic proportions that the original planners did not even live long enough to see them completed.


A controversial theory proposes that ancient pyramids — such as Egypt's most famous one, the Great Pyramid of Giza — represent an extinct language, a message left by people of an archaic civilization that has eluded historical and archaeological research; ...a civilization whose less "durable" traces were ground down by time or, alternatively, destroyed by a cataclysm.


Perhaps, this civilization is not even terrestrial, as some consider the possibility that the pyramids serve as a permanent — almost "eternal" — marker for future space travelers belonging to a specific race of humanoids who, in a very distant era, visited this planet.


ALIEN INTERFERENCE


Many scholars believe that the human "race" could not have developed so rapidly without the assistance of a technologically more advanced "species" of beings. Generally, these "beings" are understood to be extraterrestrials.


Just as European colonizers introduced new customs to communities and nations in the Americas, Asia, and Oceania, visitors from another planet might have interfered in the acculturation process of humans found at a primitive stage of intelligence.


As these beings are completely alien to Earth, there is no reason to assume that their techniques — including those for communication — bear any resemblance to those currently developed by humanity.


Extraterrestrial communication could be of a completely unforeseen nature, and the hypothesis of telepathy cannot be ruled out.


Telepathy is direct thought-to-thought communication, without the interference of "vocalized" words or articulated phonetic symbols.


Although the concept is understandable, telepathic communication is utterly unimaginable to humans as they exist today.


One must accept thought as a form of material energy — just as real as radio and TV waves, for instance, or the sound used to levitate insects in laboratories.


Given this, it is conceivable that megalithic structures have, in fact, been emitting communication and/or location signals for millennia — signals that, theoretically, are being picked up light-years away from Earth.


SYMBOLISM


The pyramids represent the dialectic between heaven and earth. Their broad, firm base is planted in the ground, while their four triangular faces correspond to the cardinal points.


Their shape was believed to facilitate the soul's transition from the material world to the spiritual realm, in addition to symbolizing human evolution — from the heaviness of the body to the lightness of the soul.


Furthermore, pyramids were often constructed in accordance with the local topography to align specific points of the structure with precise stars and constellations.


The connection between pyramids and astronomy is no coincidence; rather, it stands as indisputable testimony to the wisdom of the ancients regarding the "mapping of the sky as seen from Earth."


MYSTERIES


Researchers speculate on the purpose of the pyramids: temples, tombs, astronomical observatories, power stations, sites for esoteric initiation, or complex calendars. 


Some observe that these structures would serve effectively as visual navigational markers for space travelers — landmarks, therefore, designed to be viewed from space. 


Considering this latter hypothesis, it is remarkable that the Giza pyramids are (or would be) located at the center of the Earth if sea levels were 178 meters higher — a condition that may have occurred during a flood-type cataclysm.


In China, a pyramid near the Wei Ho River, north of Xi'an, is situated at the exact center of Chinese territory; the shape of Chinese pyramids resembles the architecture of pre-Columbian Mayan pyramids, suggesting a strange connection between the two cultures — a connection that becomes even stranger when observing aesthetic similarities between Mayan artifacts and those from India.


THE GIZA PYRAMIDS


These pyramids are likely the most studied structures in the world; however, there is no certainty regarding their age or purpose. 


The prevailing view among Egyptologists is that they were built around 2500 BC to serve as tombs for pharaohs: Khufu, his son Khafre, and a third, Menkaure (commonly known by their Greek names: Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos). This opinion is not unanimous; others believe the pyramids are older — dating back as far as the "Great Flood," or the biblical Deluge.


Unlike the ornate tombs discovered in the Valley of the Kings, the three Giza pyramids bear no hieroglyphs; there are no carvings or inscriptions identifying their builders or confirming their function at the time of their construction.


This is highly unusual because, for the Egyptians, the immortality of the soul was ensured — among other rituals — by the written or hieroglyphic recording of the deceased's name.


Pyramid-tombs served as "vehicles" to transport the immortal soul to its dwelling place among the gods. The pyramids were also intended to stand as permanent monuments to a reign or a dynasty. At Giza, none of this holds true in the face of the smooth walls that represent the void.


The builders of the Giza pyramids undeniably possessed vast knowledge of mathematics, engineering, and astronomy.


Researcher Robert Bauval was the first to reveal that the alignment of the pyramids corresponded to the alignment of three stars in the constellation Orion, suggesting that Giza is an architectural complex linked to astronomy — and specifically to that constellation.


The question of the pyramids' location is intriguing because all indications suggest that the site was carefully chosen based on geographical and cosmographical relationships embedded in the architecture.


As it happens, such precise positioning would only have been possible if the builders had possessed a privileged view of the site — the perspective of someone situated far away from Earth, out in space.

🧛‍♀️ THE MYSTERY OF DRACULA'S TOMB AT NAPOLES

 
The tombstone of marble that, inexplicably, emits a lot of heat - has an inscription in mysterious language. Researchers investigating this strange monument. They try to decipher the message recorded on the effigy that - it is believed, may be the real tomb of Count Dracula, Vlad Tepes (1431-1476), from Romania.

MYSTERIES. ITALY. NAPLES CITY. Researchers at the University L'Orientale of Naples are intrigued by the marble monument located in the architectural ensemble of the Church and the Franciscan convent of Santa Maria La Nova, Naples. Besides an indecipherable inscription, engraved in a language unknown, from one point of the tombstone, exudes a strong and inexplicable warmth.

HISTORY

Two countries already claims to be the place of the 'real tomb of Vlad Tepes III, prince, ruler of Wallachia. These countries are Romania (birthplace of the famous warrior) and Hungary.

Indeed, the tomb of the mythical Impaler is a mystery. According wth historical known  tradition the Prince Vlad died waging war against the Ottoman Turks, his longtime enemies.

His strong personality and even his appearance, were described by Enea Silvio Piccolomini, the future Pope Pius II - in his 'Comments:' ... an honorable man and handsome in his person ... a righteous man... This shows that not all at the time he lived in the prince, they highlighted the bloody cruelty of his character.

He was a Christian struggling to preserve their Christian homeland against the invading infidels. Even being, since that time, in much of the popular imagination - especially of their enemies - the legendary Impaler, lunatic sadist who took his meals enjoying the martyrdom of their victims, tortured with the most painfull practices.

Reportedly Vlad had learned these inhuman methods, he learned how to be a monster - Make them have afraid of you! - With the Ottoman Turks themselves in a period of his youth, when he was their prisoner.

He hated the Turks and died warring against - Basarab III, Batran Laiotă - who disputed the power in Wallachia supported by the Ottoman Empire. 

The best known version tells that Besarab himself killed and decapitated Vlad Tepes. The head, as a trophy, would have been taken to Constantinople.
(http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassarabe_III_da_Valáquia)

Another version says that - by intervention of his daughter, Maria - Vlad escaped to Italy taking shelter in Naples under the protection of - in the time -  city-state's queen, Juana of Aragon (1455-1517, born in Spain, to Italians - Giovanna di Trastámara) - being consort of the king, Ferdinando I. 

THE ROMANIAN TOMB OF DRACULA


But many don't agree with this version of history and say that in Snagov, are buried mere horse bones.

These believe that Vlad, although badly wounded in the battle, was rescued by their weight in gold and forwarded to her daughter Maria that, during the Ottoman occupation, had moved to Naples.

Despite the discussions, there is some evidence to support the idea of the death of Dracula on italian soil and his tomb in Naples.

The uncle of Queen Juana was King Alfonso of Aragon (1396-1458 - reigned between 1416-1458) - Freemason belonging to the Dragon Order (hence the nickname Drakul) as well as outside the Prince Vlad, following the tradition of his father. Maria, at seven years old, was given to be educated by a Neapolitan lady and later married a member of Ferrillo family. 

THE PARTENOPEA TOMB

Then,  would not coincidence that the tomb of Dracula in Naples be officially known as the Matteo Ferrill tomb. The funeral monument is within a smaller cloister (a room) of the convent of Santa Maria la Nova. Its authorship is attributed to Jacopo della Pila.

The Tomb of Matteo Ferrill - or like it is called, Tomb Partenopea - is adorned with an elaborate representation of a dragon. It is a curious fact when is known that the deceased was Dracula's son in law.

In addition, the monument is adorned with other images which are rare to be found in European graves of the West. Below of  the great dragon, there are two sphinxes.

THE PARTENOPEA CODE

But that's not all. The marble was submited to exams by researchers from the Istituto Nazionale di Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV / Italy - 2015.

On the tombstone occurs an anomalous phenomenon: the rock exudes an inexplicable heat whose origin or cause no scientist was able - still - identify or explain.

To complete the mystery, the inscriptions on ancient characters - that seems to be a code, they are a challenge that - at the time of this reportage - was an indecipherable document.


Until then, philologists discovered almost nothing about this weird language. They konow what it not is:  it isn't Slavic, Croatian or Bulgarian, Macedonian or Cyrillic. 

There are signals that appear to be Latinos. Others, Greeks, Coptics, but it is impossible to distinguish a single word.

The text would been designed by an esoteric expert, perhaps someone who belonged to the Dragon Order. Thus, the words on the tombstone would only be understood by those for who the code keys were known.



IMAGE. Emblem of the Dragon Order

The Dragon enters the life of Vlad Tepes as his father's heritage, this, yes, member of the  Dragon Order and so called Vlad Dracul.

The Dragon Order was a military-religious society, Christian, founded in 1387 by Sigismund of Luxembourg, later Holy Roman Emperor and his wife, Barbara Cillei.

The coat of Tepes family is usually described having, like main figure, a dragon. But the truth is that the most prominent symbol coat of arms of the princes of Wallachia  is an eagle.

BRAZIL ARCHAEOLOGY. Millenary rock engravings are found in rocks of the Hinterland of Pernambuco



IMAGES SOURCE: TV Grande Rio/ G1VIDEO on page

BRAZIL. NORTHEAST REGION. PERNAMBUCO state. In the district of Rajada, rural area of ​​the city of Petrolina - in Hinterland, near a  damn, at an area with rock formations,  were discovered  rock engravings dated between 7,000 to 12,000 years ago.

   
The curious rock formation of the archaeological site of Rajada  
(Pernambuco state, Brazil)

According to archaeologists from the Faculdade Estadual da Paraiba (State of Paraíba Faculty) and of the Institute of Geosciences from Federal University of Minas Gerais, the rocks - in themselves -  have over 600 million years.




The engravings have various formats, many geometric and in spirals. Some show everyday situations. The researcher Genivaldo Nascimento - warned the Federal Public Ministery  about the importance of the finding. Genivaldo reported that the major concern of scientists is the preservation of the site, which is completely exposed to vandalism. 

The mayor of Petrolina city, Julio Lossio, reported that measures to protect the site are being taken. We prepared a decree to take care of that area. We  also already we reported the discovery to the Ministry of Culture, which takes care of the archaeological finds and to the Federal Police, that has the assignment of protecting national archaeological sites.

South American mummy ritually sacrificed  
By Melissa Hogenboom   
[http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26357011] 

SOUTH AMERICA/GERMANY - A previously unidentified female mummy was killed in a ritual sacrifice in South America... A team of scientists analysed the skull to find evidence of a blunt trauma to the head, suggesting she died very quickly from the blow. DNA analysis also revealed she suffered from a parasitic infection called Chagas disease.

The mummified woman is over 500 years old, and would have died in her early 20s. She is thought to have arrived in Germany... in 1898. Where exactly she would have lived remains unclear... The researchers therefore suggest she lived near the Peruvian or Northern Chilean coast line.

Cenotes - The sacred Wells of the Mayans



MEXICO/GUATEMALA. In Yucatan, in underground caves there are many wells called cenotes. In this places someone can fell the surviving of a mystic aura that crossed 14,000 years of history of the Maya. 

Considered sacred places, in these caves and waters are made millenar rituals. These caves are also sacred to archaeologists.

Even today, these places are protected, not only by the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) as well, by the descendants of that mysterious people who - until today, performs ceremonies in these caves and cenotes where they make offerings to ancient deities and entities: the Lords of the waters and of the fields. 


CENOTES - WHAT THEY ARE



A cenote located in Belize, country at the northeastern coast of Central America

The cenotes, of different sizes, are formations like wells. They are natural pools, fountains. The term "cenote" -  is a  word  compound of three ideias - TS - ono - OT

Together, this concepts refer,  among the mayans , to natural water fountains, wells. Cenotes are cavities of limestone rocks - more or less deep. How were formed during periods of low sea level - in many cenotes, the water is salty.CENOTES.




This is a video of researchers in one of the pools of Belize. The images show a diver approaching a crater. He disappears into a cloud of sand that rises from the depths of the waters. When the video reaches about 3 min and 40 s, appears the rescue of part of a huge human femur.

For the ancient Maya, the underground caves that contain cenotes were inhabited by gods. The spanish catholic religious - Fray Diego de Landa, who was archbishop of the Archdiocese of Yucatán between 1572 and 1579 - claimed that the gods of the underworld have inhabited these caves.  

Even archaeologists must respect the traditions to study these sites. Are released to enter only after going through a ceremony conducted by a wise man, a priest. The ritual includes the reciting of  prayers and spells (from mayan tradition) - during all the night. In the morning, is made ​​the sacrifice of an animal, usually a turkey or a chicken. 

These priests do not allow to any person enter the cenotes. According to their beliefs, the gods, owners of these caves and wells - they can punish, severely,  the violation of their property. Who dares enter the lakes without the ceremonies and permissions may get sick, or worse, may be captured and disappear, can be abduced - forever, into  the waters's mysteries.

ABOUT THE POPOCATEPETL VOLCANO

Also called El Popo or Don Goyo and, yet - Don Greggorio - the Popocatepetl - located between the Mexican states of Puebla and Morelos, is one of the - almost - 1,500 active volcanoes that exist currently in the world (SONG, 2008).

A volcano is considered active if suffered in recent eruption, in the last 10,000 years. With its 5,500 meters above sea level, with 25 km of base perimeter, perennial glaciers crowning the summit of a conical shape symmetrical, the Popocatepetl is the second highest volcano in Mexico.

Approximate age, 730,000 years. His name means "steamy mountain" what fits perfectly in the criteria defining a volcano as active.

In mythological terms, one of the legends of the Popocatepetl - and are some - is abode of the goddess Mayahuel (lady of drunkenness) and of the Patécatl god, lord of medicine, drugs, peyote and root of pulque, with which is produced with an alcoholic beverage, the aguamel (a kind of mead).

These 'gods form a couple, the regents, masters in the cultivation and preparation of agents (vegetable) that produce an altered state of consciousness.

Although to seem to have asleep for a few decades, in the half of the twentieth century, this volcano, from the 1990s, returned to activity that, since then has increased in regularity and intensity. Throughout this period, of just over two decades, in a relationship enigmatic, also have been multiplied the UFO  sightings in the vicinity of that mountain.

Archaeologists Found the Oldest Package of Marijuana of History

A "berlota" - a raceme, bunch from the marijuana's package found in the tomb of the shaman.

CHINA. The oldest package of marijuana of the world  - "berlotas", bunches - totaling 789 grams - was found in a tomb in Turpan,  China's northwest, buried next to a shaman. 

(Today, at Brasil, usually a decent minimal amount to buy is of 50 grams and berlotas is the local name to call the bunches).

The researchers of the Journal of Experimental Botany - that informed the reportage - they ensure that the batch has over 2 thousands and 700 years and its good conservation condition is due to alkaline soil and the low level of humidity in the tomb.

The tomb of the chinese shaman where was found the oldest package of marijuana of history.

It is speculated that the "tea", the "herb" has been placed in the tomb for use in future life beyond the grave. The neurologist Ethan B. Russo explained:

It was a common practice in burials (in whole Ancient world): to deposit (in the graves) objects and provisions (of all kinds) that - (supposedly) - will be needed to the disembodied in another world (or another dimension of life).

It remains to zealous researchers make all laboratory tests required for discover if this marijuana, after so much time saved - still retains its principles actives.

Not will be too much to imagine that, a devoted a scientist will expose himself of the risk of even personally experience the material,  burning a cigarette of this historic ganja  to confirm its potential narcotic. After all, at 789 grams - who will notice the lack of a thin? 

Let's meditate ...

Machu Picchu - The Small and Mysterious Grave of the Mountain

The tomb on the hill. Mysterious: small and isolated.

PERU. A strange tomb was found on the hill Uñawaynapicchu in the Archaeological Park of Machu Pichu - on Monday, 03/09/2012. Unlike other funerary constructions of the pre-Columbian civilizations of Peru, this grave is located on the top of a rocky hill, about 10 meters below the summit of the elevation, in front of the big wall of Machu Pichu. Small - measures only 1.20 meters long and has 75 cm wide.

The park director Fernando Astete told Andina news Agency: It is unique because all the graves of Machu Pichu, such as those found by Hiram Bingham (north-american explorer and treasure hunter, 1875-1956), are caves that had been closed with stones of different sizes - stacked and covered with mud - which served as the cement of these constructions.

Researchers have realized that this strange sepulture was desecrated but on the spot were found bones and pottery shards. Next to the tomb, were rescued pieces of stone that belonged to it, what allowed to restore the original appearance of the crypt.

Archaeologists and historians have no idea who was buried there but they believe that was a character distinct or at least unusual, given the location difficult to reach and the size remarkably reduced of this mysterious burial chamber.

BRAZIL. Mato Grosso do Sul state. In the micro-region of Três Lagoas and neighborhoods of the Parana River, archaeologists from the Museu da Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul (Museum of Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul), Emilia Mariki Kashimoto and Gilson Rodolfo Martinez, found evident traces of human occupation dated in more of 7.000 years.

In the study Arqueologia e Paleoambiente do Rio Paraná (Archaeology and palaeoenvironment of the Parana River, 2009) - researchers found objects that confirm the human presence and an established culture at the region there are 11,000 years. 

Possibly, in the archaeological period called Pleistocene - or the Ice Age - prehistoric communities inhabiting the region subsisted of fishing and gathering of forest resources.

Only in Três Lagoas, there are 70 archaeological sites where scientists work since 1993. But, not only the Paleolithic tools were unburied, were found more recent artifacts too, like ceramics which were dated at 1.200 years.
