In Mexico, a team of archaeologists discovered on the bottom of the lake at the foot of the volcano Istaksiatl the ancient stone sanctuary of the Aztecs. The nature of the structure suggests that it served as a model of the universe, according to International Business Times. The sanctuary was discovered by researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology and History at an altitude of about four thousand meters at the bottom of the lake. The sanctuary is made of stones of different sizes, and their arrangement repeats the arrangement of stars and galaxies. In addition, the sanctuary is arranged so that when you look at it there is an optical effect: the stones seem to float on the surface of the water, rather than lying on the bottom. "The optical effect and the structure of the object indicate that this place was a miniature model of the universe, an ancient understanding of time and space. It also agrees with the Aztec myths about the creation of the world. According to them in ancient times there was no sushi. Sea monster Sipaktli lived in the primitive ocean, and then from his body the gods created the sky and the earth, "- said archaeologist Iris del Rocio Hernandez Bautista. In the summer of 2017 it was reported that under the pyramid of the Moon in Mexico, scientists discovered an underground tunnel, which, apparently, imitated a journey to the afterlife.
