do these ancient statues depict great Toltec
rulers famous warriors or perhaps religious figures
the or are they something entirely different
scholars interpret the statues as depicting warriors ready for battle
on the chest is a butterfly a traditional Toltec costume element
held in their hands is an art I'll
the unique central Mexican spear on the shoes are flowers
would symbolize the gentleness King to build some
who first made to love the Catholic the Empire now really
strange warriors with butterflies on chest
and flowers on their shoes in my opinion

dole researchers dispute this interpretation
the true meaning that the Toltec statues remains
a mystery could ancient cultures have been influenced by
visitors from another world to some archaeological findings

one of the most mysterious is the on spy ring Great Pyramid at Giza
in Egypt the mystery surrounding the Great Pyramid well-known
the controversy over who built this massive stone structure
and how remained intense but simple mathematics brings the mystery
into sharper focus expert
estimate that the pyramid contains a total a to
and a half million stone blocks ranging in size
trim 40 tonnes chronicles of the times report the construction took 20 years
but how could such a gigantic monument be built some
let's divide 2.5 million storm looks
by twenty and we can't 125,000 blocks
Avery year khomeini
basin yet baby waking but see 300 these in your
okay so we have a DD out pop
of 400 and 16 blocks
and how many hours in the be working they want the Union to build a
let's see 12 hours a day that the long loving finally be at
every our certi for blocks
at bbb- by the down to the minutes in fact
Avery two minutes one block
to me this is impossible
I believe it the Great Pyramid was built by human beings
but we can help from extraterrestrials it's the only way
our relatively primitive and stills could create something
we could perhaps not duplicate even
to day there are many theories about how such a massive structure was built five
thousand years ago
as the debate rages the pyramid
Egypt stands side Lee sentinels
up the past forever guarding mysteries
there are many other mysterious structures around
low defied conventional engineering wisdom
like Stonehenge the famous carvings at least Ryland
and the ancient balloons much a peach you in Peru
but there is yet
another in Peru and in Peru that presents one of the most perplexing
puzzles
the ancient fortress succeed you mine
the

the Incas had only crew tools and no knowledge of the wheel
yet they built this massive fortress how
is a fascinating mystery yo
in 1488 the Inca Empire included 10
million people amazingly
it was Paul wrong by the arrival

in 1532 in the remote outpost

Egypt all this was done without
segment hundreds of massive stones were used to build these walls
despite their awesome size in WAT they fit together with laser-like precision
and what's more expert at determined that these huge stones were quarried
far away and moved here to this remote site
