Secret tunnels found below Mexico's Pyramid of the Moon 'passageway to the underworld'

Archaeologists have discovered a secret tunnel and a cavity hidden below an ancient pyramid in Mexico that is believed to have been dedicated to "underworld" Toltec rituals.

They believe the "passageway to the underworld" could contained unexplained deformed skulls among other strange items.

The stunning discoveries were found in the archaeological site of Teotihuacan northeast of Mexico City in Mexico, according to the Daily Mail.

The Pyramid of the Moon is the second largest pyramid in Mexico after the Pyramid of the Sun and is believed to have existed prior to 200 AD.

Secret Tunnel found 30 feet below Teotihuacan’s Pyramid of the Moon baffles experts

. . .



. . .

Archaeologists excavating the ancient city of Teotihuacan in Mexico say they have uncovered evidence of what seems to be a network of tunnels located beneath the Pyramid of the Moon. The tunnel was discovered using electrical resistivity tomography—a geophysical technique for imaging sub-surface structures from electrical resistivity measurements made at the surface, or by electrodes in one or more boreholes.

According to reports, the mystery tunnel stretches from the central square of the ancient metropolis which was most likely used for human sacrifices and other rituals, all the way to the Pyramid of the Moon.

According to INAH, the National Institute of Anthropology and History archaeologists used CT scans in order to find the tunnel located around 30 feet below the surface of the plaza near the Pyramid of the Moon.

This is not the first underground tunnel found at Teotihuacan. Previously, experts have uncovered a set of tunnels in different places and the underground tunnel located beneath the Temple of the Plumed Serpent has already been explored by archaeologists.
