Out of all the mysterious megalithic structures sc Out of all the mysterious megalithic structures scattered throughout South America, Aramu Muru, also known as Puerta de Huaya Marca, or “Portal of the Gods”, might take the spot as the most baffling.

_
Located on a mountain of Perù at 4.000 mt / 13.123 ft in a strategical position near Lake Titicaca, this massive “stargate” style portal directly carved into the side of a mountain almost seems like an out of place structure.

_
The name "Aramu Muru" comes from an Incan priest of the Coricancha "Temple of the Seven Rays". 

Legend has it that this Incan priest found a gold disk the perfect size of the hole, inserted the disk into it, and disappeared as he was "taken by the gods". 

_
This structure is really one of a kind and quite inexplicable even for modern scientists, who maintain that Aramu Muru is just an Incan unfinished and abandoned structure.

However, since the Inca were skilled builders, it's strange they wouldn't understand that it wasn’t feasible to build there before wasting so much time and energy to finish this portal. 

_
No actual archaeological excavations were ever made on site because of the rough morphological conditions, yet somehow a remote civilization was able to smoothly shape this side of a mountain to make it look like a doorway - and a perfect one indeed.

The carved block is in fact a stunningly precise 7x7 mt / 23x23 ft square without any margin error.

_
Inside the square, is a T-shaped “door” (much like a hollowed-out T pillar that can be found at Gobekli Tepe) with a hole inside of it (Pic.4), through which people have reported feeling incredible energy.

_
The precise, linear “cuts” that stretch throughout the whole rock suggest that an unusual method was used to split or carve the rock.

Either they are the sign of a lost technique in use, or they were made afterwards by precisely carving lines all along the hard rock for no apparent reason, which seems quite unlikely.

_
Who do you think were the original builders of this structure, and what was its use?

Often referred to as the last standing structure o Often referred to as the last standing structure of the legendary island of Mu, Nan Madol is an astounding complex of 92 artificial islands built on top of a coral reef and connected by canals.

Today, the abandoned structure lies partly submerged next to the shore of the island of Pohnpei, Micronesia. 

The total weight of the basalt “logs” that make up the city’s construction is estimated at 750,000 metric tons, an “impossible” number that results in an average of 1,850 tons moved each year for 400 years, all done by a civilization that didn’t have pulleys, levers or metal to aid in the process.

Not only, but the megaliths come all the way from a volcanic plug on the other side of the island.  But Micronesian people only built nothing more complex than rudimental huts and wooden bridges, therefore they explan it as a myth. 

In The Book of Luelen, a collection of local myths translated into English, the author provides a specific list of seven men and women who built a large canoe and sailed forth from “the shores of a far-off land”, the mythical “Katau”.

Upon their arrival, they built the island and surrounded it with a barrier reef and a mangrove forest to protect it from the waves. Then they left, leaving just a man and a woman there.

After a long time, two sorcerers and brothers related to them returned and used a “large flying dragon” to levitate the countless 50-ton basalt stones that make up the complex.

The first radiocarbon datings say that Nan Madol was already inhabited in 80 AD, although this doesn’t verify the actual age of the megalithic complex.

According to a local belief, Nan Madol was a harbor and used to be the place of an even older city, Soun Nan-leng (Reef of Heaven). The recent finding of many boulders and pillars on the bottom of the ocean seems to give a real background to this story.

As of today, Nan Madol is still a largely unsolved enigma.

From the Queen's Chamber inside the Great Pyramid, From the Queen's Chamber inside the Great Pyramid, to the Treasury of Atreus in Greece, to ancient Near East, India (Pic.3 being also from India), and South America (Iñaq Uyu on the shores of the sacred Lake Titicaca shown in Pic.2 being just one example), many megalithic structures across the continents share an identical-looking entrance door.

_
Not only, the same exact pattern can be found in North America, all over the canyon petroglyphs and ancient drawings made by the Native Americans, and also in Egyptian hieroglyphs.

_
The most credited theory is that the symbol represents a stairway to the heavens, and that’s why it's mainly found in funerary monuments. The stones are placed together to emulate steps and are usually engineered to the millimeter. 

_
Modern archaeology doesn’t take into consideration the argument, although it’s quite difficult not to notice the link through the exact same pattern being reproduced, which is not just a vague similarity but a deliberate architectural choice. 

_
While it’s quite possible that different, distant cultures could've come up with the same concept, the identical way this symbology was included in both design and architecture makes us wonder if they really shared a common background that led to the same aesthetic expression.

_
Take a peek to our highlited story "The Stairway" to see more examples.

What is your take on the meaning of this hidden ancient symbology?

With its enigmatic features, Zawyet el-Aryan is ho With its enigmatic features, Zawyet el-Aryan is home to one of the unsolved mysteries from ancient Egypt.

_
Here, a monumental man-made canyon divides the ground to form a huge corridor that goes underground, leading to subterranean chambers.

_
Archaeologists dated the complex to the Old Kingdom, between 4.000 and 5.000 years ago, although there is no agreement on this theory.

_
It was first explored by Italian archaeologist A.Barsanti at the beginning of ‘900, who managed to take photos and accounts that were published in the French “Annales du Service des Antiquitès de l’Egypte”, and it still is the only testimony we have today.

_
In his notes, Barsanti wrote that he didn't believe the complex was a pyramid, as he didn’t find any mummy or funerary objects inside of it.

_
The walls of the artificial canyon were made out of limestone blocks 2 m/ 6.5ft long and 3.5 m/11,4 ft high.

_
Barsanti calculated that more than 4.200 m³ of rocks and granite blocks were inside the huge pit.

_
On the 12th March 1905 the mystery thickened with the discovery of the “oval sarcophagus”: an incredibly smooth and polished massive oval pink granite block, with a lid on top of it.

_
At first glance, the “sarcophagus” seems more like a tank or a tub.

In fact, once the lid was removed, the expedition saw the liquid that once filled the oval structure, but didn’t take any sample.

The granite tank was over 3m/9,8ft long, 1.5/ 4,9ft m deep, and 2.20m/ 7,2ft large.

_
Barsanti maintained that it must’ve been placed there before the corridor was built, as it would’ve been impossible to transport it down the steep, narrow descending walls.

_
The Italian archaeologist was determined to excavate further, as he was convinced that there were passages underneath the oval sarcophagus, but in 1911 he was forced to enroll in the war and died without ever going back.

_
Access to the complex has been restricted since 1964. No excavations are allowed, and the original necropolis is overbuilt with military bungalows. The condition of the shaft is uncertain and likely disastrous.

Beneath the sands of the “Black Pyramid” of Ha Beneath the sands of the “Black Pyramid” of Hawara lies one of the most groundbreaking complexes in Egypt: the lost Labyrinth of Hawara.

_
Although the pyramid is made of small sized bricks, it's interesting to note that the entrance connected to the Labyrinth is actually megalithic (Pic. 3).

_
Ancient historian Herodotus visited the complex and wrote about it before it disappeared into history:

“This I have seen, a work beyond words. For if anyone put together the buildings of the Greeks they would seem lesser in both effort and expense to this labyrinth. Even the pyramids are beyond words, yet the labyrinth surpasses the pyramids.

When one had entered the sacred enclosure, one found a temple surrounded by columns, 40 to each side, and this building had a roof made of a single stone, carved with panels. 

It has twelve courts covered in, with gates facing one another, six upon the North side and six upon the South, each court being surrounded with pillars of white stone fitted together most perfectly. 

And there are two kinds of chambers, the one below the ground and the other upon these, three thousand in number.

And at the end of the labyrinth there is a pyramid of 40 fathoms, upon which large figures are carved, and in it there is a way underground.”

From Herodotus’ Historiae, Book II, p.148

_
In the 17th century German scholar A.Kircher drew the labyrinth based on the description (pic. 4).

_
Academics considered this to be a myth until it was actually discovered.

_
In 2008, a Belgian-Egyptian team of research investigated the site with ground penetrating technology, and they were able to confirm the presence of an underground complex.

_
The results were published in the scientific journal of the NRIAG, and were discussed in a public lecture at the University of Gent, Belgium.

_
But the finding was suppressed by the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, who put a hold to all further communications about the discovery due to Egyptian National Security sanctions.

As of today, the site still has to be excavated.

What does a Mandala do in the Andes? _ Near the b What does a Mandala do in the Andes?

_
Near the better known Nazca Lines, between the cities of Sacramento and Pinchago, archaeologists found approximately 600 new drawings made with the same method used at Nazca.

_
They’re known as the Palpa geoglyphs, and are mostly carved on the slopes of hills or on top of ridges. 

_
Scholars believe that the lines were created by the Paracas civilization, the mysterious culture known for having elongated skulls, who inhabited this area of Perù known as the Ica region between the 10th and 1st century BCE. 

_
The drawings depict anthropomorphic figures and situations which could be symbolic and metaphoric, like a man being swallowed and then vomited by a snake (Pic.7).

_
However, there is one geoglyph that’s particularly strange and inexplicable, and it’s known as “The Star” (Pic.1, 2, and Pic. 3 with digital enhancement ).

_
This figure clearly resembles a Mandala, the Hindu symbol that represents the universe.

_
The Palpa Mandala looks like a series of concentric circles inscribed within squares, with two rectangles overlapped in the center forming a cross. 

_
The figure has been drawn with great precision and is rich in detail, despite being very large.

_
The diameter of the largest circumference is 180 feet - about 54 meters. In addition, circles and squares are dotted with holes and pits dug into the ground whose purpose is unknown. 

_
Archaeologist Gilbert de Jong is convinced that this drawing represents a map of the zodiac, and maintains that the unit of measurement used for the making of the Mandala was the Sumerian foot.

_
Buddhist monks still make these elaborate and fascinating geometric shapes, with colored powders to depict the cosmos and the cycle of life that is perpetually renewed, but it is very strange to find one thousand kilometers away from Tibet, engraved in a remote area of Peru on a plateau surrounded by the desert.
