Introduction - Discovery of America - The Capital Tenochitlan

The pyramids, as a subject of research, have been occupied by many thousands of scientists, writers and journalists. In the issue 3/1989 of the Greek magazine "ATLANTIDA", Vas. Paschos, published his thesis "The Pyramids (of Egypt) reveal their secret." It reminded us that old pyramids exist even in America, namely in Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia and Peru. Among other things, he mentions that in the language of the Maya, the word "pyramis" is characterized by the double phonem(sound) "pyroua-manko" [pyr(ou)a man(ko)] [pyra-mid], meaning literally "revelator light or fire". From first view it is strange, the identification of the two words and the concepts of the language of the Mayan and the Greek, and it is very important, as we shall see, because it is revealing the use for which the pyramids were originally made. From this use remained and their name, for the characterization of the building now and the defining of their geometric shape. And they are called pyramids even when their peaks are not angular but they lead to flat trapezoidal terraces. The tops with the trapezoidal shape - most of America's pyramids have this shape - were apparently converted later, after many years, which ceased to be used for the original purposes of their construction.

It seems that the descendants of the connoisseurs who built them defore the tops of the pyramids for practical purposes, because later they changed their living conditions very much and the pyramids lost their original destination. The same material of their deforestation used it to construct their square-faced buildings, and auxiliary stairwells. This view may be expressed for the first time by us, we have not read it elsewhere, but we can deduce it from the descriptions, pictures and material that we have drawn for the writing of this article, Mr. Paschos, from his private Museum Athens Atlantis.

The pyramids of America, as well as Egypt, with the huge boulders methodically built, reminiscent of rocky well chiseled artificial mountains. Their studied architecture, with their peaks (America's oldest ones), or their flat trapezoidal terraces (the younger ones), with their broad bases and the symmetry of their sides, helped to withstand the time and the adverse weather conditions and are immune to even the destructive fury of fanatical paranoid people.

The adjustment of the five to twenty tones weight, artificially rectangular boulders is perfect, their elevation is accurate to form isoscale sloping sides and straight inclined corners. These symmetries and the harmony of building betray the use of appropriate technical and mechanical means and measuring instruments, with certain fixed calculating units, for geometric and mathematical precision calculations.

America's latest discovery

Columbus and his men were astounded when they landed in America in 1492-93, from the ancient imposing buildings that stood upright, and from the many ruins of ancient cities they met. But the Spaniards most surprised the pyramids they met in Mexico and later in Peru, which looked amazing with the pyramids of Egypt ...

The impressions he had brought from the New World, by his very nature, the people, and above all the elements of the old culture they met there, were enthusiastic by both young and old, even many serious researchers, who asked for participation in the next missions. But then the powerful priesthood of the West was risen, and sent missionaries to convert the populations there into their religion. Their fanaticism and influence in the Spaniards' troops sent many, together with their devotional objects and historical documents of their origin, their faith and worship, their tradition and their customs, to the "outside fire"! And the pyramids remained, to connect us with the ancient life of "New World".

Fortunately, everything that the locals managed to hide from their old cultural elements remained, which were saved and are valuable documents for scholars of the ancient world of America.

In these ancient written testimonies, such as the Aztec Chronicles of the Kaukatitlan, the three Mayan Codes, known by the names of those who escaped them from the fire, Dresden, Perez, and Trojan-Cortez, the Popol Vuh, also of Maya, the traditions and the findings, in all of these have been based numerous works by thousands of writers, and we have also drawn the evidence that we are quoting. 

The capital Tenochtitlan (or Tenochitlan)

At the acropolis of the old Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan or Tenochitlan, which was built near the current capital of Mexico, there was a central large pyramid. There were walls around it, covering other large buildings, churches and palaces of the Acropolis, with circular defensive rows and between them there were canals and bridges. There was also a canal which apparently had a way out to the sea. To the south of the capital of Mexico, where there are finds of a part of the city of Tehnotitlán, a seaside harbor was discovered, at a depth of ten meters, under a layer of mud, gravel and sand.

Investigator Paul Wtsler writes that Tenochtitlan, with the pyramid and other magnificent buildings, with the fortification canals and the arched bridges and canals, has amazing similarities, as described by Plato of Poseidonia, the seat of Poseidon, the capital of Atlantis!

This match is not strange. He proves that Plato's writings on Atlantis were not a reflection of his imagination. For research is whether Plato's Atlantis was America ...

 The Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon

In order to build another state, Teotihuakan (the city of the gods, Northwest of the city of Mexico), a mountain top was leveled. There were built pyramids, palaces, and other magnificent buildings, which had an architectural homogeneity characteristic of a perfect building art harmonic, that matched the environment. That's were the Mixtekoi lived, which means residents of a country hiding in the clouds. Because their country on the mountain was always cloudy.

The most imposing buildings in this city were the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon.On these pyramids were found old carved inscriptions with hieroglyphics. In the pyramid of the Sun, a relief calendar was found in plaque. Once the Toltecs occupied the area, they were amazed by the buildings and by the towering, giant inhabitants of the city. Of them, however, no one knew to tell them when this city was built and who built it.

Subsequent surveys have shown that there were newer imposing buildings found there, imitating the old ones. The first relics of the writings found are from 10,000 to 8,000 BC. These are based on the ancient traditions of ancient Mexico. To these peoples they say, as did all the peoples of the surrounding areas, the Aztecs, who came from the Aţlan or Aztlan tribe, had a tremendous influence.

The dimensions of the base of the Sun Pyramid of Teotihuakan, near Lake Titicata, which is 110 x 130 meters, correlates with the pyramids of Egypt. This pyramid was called by the locals "Temple of the God of the Sun". The feature of this pyramid was the relief image, the personification of the form of the Sun. They made it on a rocky slab, which they placed on the front of the pyramid-temple, above the "Puerto de la Sole" (Gate of the Sun). Around the face of the Sun are carved in various circles symbols and hieroglyphic images, which are related, in the interpretation by experts, to astronomy. It shows the arrangement of stars and constellations around the Sun, and has been described as the most venerable and more accurate than the ancient calendars that have survived. Russian scientist Kazantzhev, after a study concluded, responds to 260-day Aphrodite's time around the sun.

Some carvings in the circles of this diary resemble somewhat, with corresponding hieroglyphic patterns of the Phaistos Disk. We do not know whether there has been any comparison or study. If there are identical symbols, another cultural element of Crete, related to the culture of ancient America, or vice versa, will be revealed. (The other are the double axes of the Aztecs and the Cretans of the Minoan period, the wings of the head, the horns on the helmets, the ruined Cyclopean walls on the island of Zeus opposite Heraklion, Mexico's Tenochtitlan and the Bimini Island of Bahamas, many words Teo-god, Aztlan-Atlas, chtitl-building, etc.).

The pyramid of Mitla

Another ancient city in the area was Mitla, the first holy city, the old city of the dead. And in Mitla there were imposing temples and pyramids, with hieroglyphic inscriptions, with mosaics of thousands of small stones of various colors, with themes in the shape of meanders, crosses, rombuses, which reminded Greek motifs. Such buildings with designs have existed and still survive, from northern Mexico to Guatemala and Bolivia. The large buildings, as the writings testify, were made in groups, with forced labor. The foundations also of the temples of the Aztecs, the Toltecs, the Incas and the Mayans, coming from the same primitive tribe, were pyramidal and generally prevailed at the same pace for many public buildings, such as the giant bands, Pushna, Kitsa, Iza, Teokali, etc.

The older pyramids of the Aztecs and Inca are estimated, with the modern means and the ancient Mayan traditions, that they were built from the 12th to the 6th millennium BC. 

The pyramid of Tichoyanako

The Pyramid found at Tichoyanako is 40 meters high. It is architecturally built with the same rhythm of other pyramids. On its sides, it is engraved, with a writing similar to the hieroglyphics. Graphic interpreters of ancient inscriptions have been able to read this script and have found that these are astronomical observations. These were even incomplete and the astronomers calculated that they should have been interrupted around 9,550 BC. 

The pyramid of Cholula

In Mexico's Cholula near Puebla there is an imposing pyramid, which is larger in size, from the surface of the base, Egypt's largest pyramid (Cheops), which looks amazing. Researcher R. Sarro in his book "Forgotten Worlds" wonders if the pyramid of Mexico is a copy of the great pyramid of Egypt, or vice versa. However, he admits that both pyramids are Atlantean constructions. 

The pyramid of Chichen Itza

Another great and strange new truncated pyramid, a temple, is found in Chichen Itza of Yucatan (see picture). This is dedicated to the Koukulkan aka Quetzalcoatl, the feathered snake, the hero and the Mayan god with the thousand forms! The pyramid is stepped, like most of its kind and on the truncated flat surface, on the top, there is a square two-story building, which is designated as an observatory. On the sides of this pyramid and in the middle of each side there are special stairs for people to climb. Its architecture has been devised so intelligently and scientifically that twice a year, in spring and autumn, at equinoxes, during the evening, the sun casts the shadows of the stepped northern side of the building of the observatory to the stairway that makes it to look like a snake moving! The amazing thing is that the precision of the equatorial calculators is so absolute that after centuries, the appearance of the snake never escaped the equinoxes. This means that the Mayans had precise cognitive knowledge, although for religious reasons, their calendars did not show up to a quarter of the day! ... The older pyramids - temples are of mythical significance, because their secret was not revealed. But the younger ones, such as Chichen-Itza, with 365 steps, are obviously symbolizing the cycle of solar time. That is why they accept a lot that this particular building was used as an observatory. The Mayan pyramid in Yucatan looks like a twin sister with the oldest pyramid of Sahara Africa. Manufacturers must be the same, admit researchers writers Umland brothers in their book "Mysteries of Antiquity". In Peru too, and on the Andes there were pyramids, with strange qualities. Two of them caused rain! Another, parts of which were saved, was triangular and was traditionally an observatory.

Other pyramidal structures

In parts of Mexico, shrubs have been found in the form of double-walled pyramids, built one in the other. Also, in old pyramid foundations, new buildings, or additions, were formed to form the new pyramids. However, images of idols and gods are the same in old pyramids and new buildings.

Scientist researcher and author Charles Berlitz, American, in his book "The Mystic of Atlantis", reveals that the US Navy discovered at least two pyramids at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. One had approximately the same dimensions as the famous pyramid of Hefa, Egypt. The only damage she had since her precipitation apparently was the crash of her top. The US pentagon banned the official announcement for unknown reasons ...

George Ward, in a scientific statement, reports that pyramidal buildings were found whole or incompletely with ruins around them, in various Atlantic islands as well as the Pacific Ocean. Thor Heyerdahl discovered pyramids on Rapa-Iti Island.

Pyramids in other parts of the Earth - General Conclusions

Pyramids were found not only in Egypt, America and oceanic islands, but also found in Greece (mentioned in the above mentioned work of V. Paschos), and in France, in the locations Ploueso, Karnak, Fallison and Qoyar. (see the above-mentioned Umland book).

Robber Sarru, who describes the French pyramids, points out that the Pyramids of Brittany are much older than the Pyramids of Egypt and Central America. He suspects that all the pyramids are linked to the lost civilization of Atlantis, whose memory was preserved in the myths of all the ancient peoples ...

The Umland brothers, on the contrary, argue that the pyramids were built by the Mayans, who came from a planet on Earth, in Antarctica initially, then in Lemuria, in Mu and Atlantis. Finally, those who were survived,  have settled in areas between volcanoes in Central America and jungles. They built the  huge pyramids in this shape to store something that did not exist on earth. Fuels for their spacecraft, batteries, solar, atomic or electric power, computers and other instruments. For their construction they say, and especially for the transport of the twenty tons of boulders and their carving, they used, a superhuman cosmic power they had, and metal mechanical tools. They even had the means to seek out and find rare minerals, and to trap the volcanic energy to exploit it. (They first trapped it in the pyramids, and from there in Xolotl-type bottles, or purses of Aeolus? It is searchable). [See previous relevant articles].

These positions of the Umland brothers, with regard to the origins of the Mayans, pyramid building and their use, V. Paschos, in his book "The Atlanteans, not the gods", is revising them. With arguments, even convincing, some of which are also invoked by Umland: The Greek accepts that the Mayans as Pleiades' children, as their ancestors believed, belong to the Atlantean generation (and not to the constellation of the Atlas daughters). That the pyramids were built with synthetic material, a kind of concrete, sand and water that became pulp, were cast into molds and the building was lifted in pyramidal shape, with walls strong enough to withstand the effects of the sun etc. and to higher pressures. Maybe they used lava as a building material and gravel, we add, as they lived in volcanic areas.

For their use, Ummland also accepts that they have stored fuel and energy. But earthy liquor, Paschos accepts, that is fuel, driving power and heating and light production [pyroya (fire)-manco = reveler of light].

Apart from the Atlanteans, the Aztecs of the Aztlan tribe and the Mayans of Pleiades, and some groups of relatives tribes, the Inca, Toltec, etc., there are no other peoples, according to ancient traditions and documents, to inhabited the locations where the pyramids were found. The statues of the Egyptian papers of the 2nd Pharaoh Dynasty (before 3,000 BC), which came to light, are written for a mission sent to the Atlantic, seeking the land of their ancestors ... (See Tom Valentine "The Mystery of the Great Pyramid" p. 37).

We conclude, therefore, that in all the places where the Atlantean occupiers moved, at the time of their prominence, they installed bases, and built the pyramids for fuel depots. After the disappearance of their civilization, the pyramids became obsolete. The priesthood, who knew their secret - the mystery, of the later ones, who hid it - took advantage of their majesty, to impose their "gods", where they also worshiped. Thus the pyramids were transformed into places of worship, churches and altars, centers of priests, magic, alchemy, medical hospitality, heads of graves, and treasures or museums of cult objects, as they called many kinds of art, uniforms, weapons, symbols and emblems of chieftains and high priests. It is possible that they hid in the pyramids also written evidence of ancient civilizations...

For all these reasons, the founders of the United States of America have chosen a pyramid for the emblem of the Great Seal of the State, which we see today in all dollars and official US documents. To all this, the supporters of the view argue that Atlantis was no other than America, the ancient acrimony of which Plato described, according to the testimonies of the priests of Saida Egypt, to the wise Solon of Athenaeus.
