Aztec's Tenochtitlan (Mexico) turns 700


They Had Names
New mind-blowing discoveries about ancient America
: Where are the ancient ruins of North America? In Europe, they’re everywhere—henges, castles, cathedrals, medieval cities. But in the USA, the historical attractions are all post-European arrivals. This video shows Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson uncovering some surprising new discoveries about the ancient civilizations here in the United States just north of Mesoamerica. See They Had Names for details.

Discover the three pillars of Aztec genius in Tenochtitlán

Internal empires flourished before Spain entered
(LatinoAméricaAyer) Auto dubbed. How did the Aztecs (early Mexicans) build a metropolis for 200,000 people on a hostile lake in what is now Mexico City? The answer isn't luck or magic, but one of history's greatest engineering feats. In this documentary, we uncover the incredible hydraulic technology that enabled the construction of Tenochtitlán (the foundation of Mexico City) and changed the course of civilization in Mesoamerica, which is part of North America though no one likes to say so).

Matrilineal Native tribes?
Discover the three pillars of their genius:
  1. Chinampas: The artificial islands that created land out of thin air and fueled an empire.
  2. Aqueducts: The sophisticated double-pipe system that brought pure water to the city.
  3. Dikes: The colossal barriers that tamed flooding and controlled the lake's chemistry.
Genocide of Native Americans in North America continues

Get ready to change your perspective on the ingenuity of the Aztec Empire built not on luck but engineering [likely enabled by extraterrestrial and interdimensional advanced technology].

What does Great Sphinx of Giza represent? Uncovering Secrets of the Sphinx

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 4. -- Mexican Boy Scouts exploring the wildest parts of the State of Guerrero discovered ruins which experts believe will lead to unearthing another buried city in this republic.

The members of the expedition, which was working under the patronage of the Minister of Education, found themselves a few days ago on one of the highest mountain ranges in Guerrero.

Nearby were numerous mounds, varying in size. Digging into one of the largest mounds, the Boy Scouts found an enormous stone head like that of the Egyptian sphinx.
They did not uncover the body, which is believed to be immense. Authorities say the stone head has extraordinary similarity to the archaeological treasures found at Gizen [Giza], Egypt.

The eyes of the image are deep cavities. Nearby was unearthed a huge round stone covered with hieroglyphics.

Nubia (modern Sudan) has more pyramids.
The many small mounds in the district under exploration are believed by government experts to be the summits of a series of pyramids.

The stone head which was uncovered is thought to have been that of some God [ruling deity], carved by the Indians [Indigenous people] in ancient times and surrounded by pyramids.

The Mexicans built giant pyramids on temples?

The head of the image is about 10 feet long and proportionately wide.

Alfonso Caso, a lawyer; Luis Fabela an architect, and Señor Escobar, a guide, will leave here in a few days to survey the district and begin excavation work on a limited scale.

Southern California 20K years ago: Ice Age


The Ice Age secrets hiding beneath California
Native Californians and their kizh houses
(Voyager) June 7, 2025: CALIFORNIA. What’s hiding beneath California? This Ice Age deep-dive reveals fossils, lost megafauna (large animals), ancient humans (Natives), and the land before cities.

The paleobiota of the LA Tar Pits
Today, we journey back to a California few ever imagine, an ancient landscape buried beneath our cities, beaches, and freeways. Long before San Diego’s skyline rose or La Jolla’s cliffs drew surfers, this land was ruled by Columbian mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and early humans (pre-Clovis) who braved a world still shaped by ice. From submerged Kumeyaay village sites to fossil-filled tar pits and coastal cliffs hiding prehistoric secrets, this is the untold story of Ice Age California.

In this video
🔹 What San Diego, Los Angeles, and the Channel Islands such as Catalina looked like 20,000 years ago
🔹 The giants that once roamed the coast: mammoths, dire wolves, and saber-toothed cats
🔹 Human footprints on ancient shores — early seafarers, hunters, and toolmakers
🔹 How fossils found during construction projects and cliffside erosion are rewriting history
🔹 Why understanding the deep past matters in today’s changing world

What are Buddhist relics, 'stupas'?


Buddhist Stupa: What we know about Buddhist burial mound reliquaries
(Bodhisattva) Everything anyone needs to know about stupas might be found here. Stupas are some of the oldest structures venerated in India [and Central Asia long before that]. Until a thousand years ago the entire region of the Indian subcontinent from Afghanistan (ancient Gandhara) to formerly Buddhist Bangladesh was dotted with thousands of stupas, large and small. Sacred relics (sarira) are placed inside of them.


Now only a few survive that are also in very bad condition. Why were these stupas made in the first place? What is the significance of stupas in Buddhism? What role did they play in the spread of Buddhism? Why is this stupa different from that one and that one and this one? How are they different from each other apart from basic structural differences? Why have abandoned stupas in India been continuously targeted by treasure hunters for centuries? What was placed in stupas that is of such interest to the treasure hunters?

NOTE: The Buddha did not "die," which means rebirth. He ended samsara.

Inside: Pyramid chemical factory?


The Red Pyramid makes no sense | Exploring three interior chambers | Megalithomania
(MegalithomaniaUK) Nov. 28, 2024: The Red Pyramid of Dahshur, Egypt, is said to be the third pyramid built by Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu, between 2575–2563 BC. (It is the third largest in Egypt). Its red color comes from the reddish limestone, although it was once covered in white tura limestone (like the nearby Bent Pyramid).

In this video Hugh Newman explores the three known inner chambers, questioning what it may have been used for -- an industrial chemical factory, producing ammonia for fertilizer to make the land fertile and productive for a large population? He is joined by Andrew Collins and Yousef Awyan and interviews Geoffrey Drumm of ‪@thelandofchem‬, who explains his theory on how it could have been used to produce ammonia.

The remarkable corbel-vaulted ceilings and intricate stonework suggest this was built by master masons. The unusual third chamber is higher than the other two and originally had no clear access, with rough-hewn cyclopean blocks revealed beneath the floor, which John Anthony West suggested could have once been exposed to the elements due to the weathering on them. (This pyramid, like the others, was built on a far older mound).

The team also look at the mortuary temple and the remains of the pyramidion that was once on top of the structure.

Natives who settled the Americas (PBS)


The ancient tribes that settled the Americas | First Peoples | Full Episode 1 | PBS
(PBS) PBS is an American public broadcast service. Oct. 18, 2024: As early humans spread out across the world, their toughest challenge was colonizing the Americas because a huge ice sheet blocked the route. It has long been thought that the first Americans were Clovis people, who arrived 13,000 years ago. But an underwater discovery in Mexico suggests people arrived earlier — coming by boat, not by foot.

America's 1st pyramid megacity: Cahokia

Chromesun, Mississippian priest (digital painting)

What happened to America’s first megacity?
(PBS Terra) Nov. 21, 2024: Overview. In its prime, Cahokia was a prosperous mega-city with a population similar to London’s.

But this sprawling Native American metropolis from the Mississippian culture vanished long before European settler-colonial invaders arrived in North America. What happened?

This Indigenous city’s enigmatic rise and fall has inspired countless theories and has long captivated the imaginations of archeologists.
  • [The pyramids in the U.S. were beheaded (the peaks destroyed) by arriving Catholic priests and soldiers who did not want to face up to what amazing advanced technology the Indigenous non-humans had developed with their amazing architecture and alignments, so they were tortured, killed en masse in a slow genocide that continues to this day along with cultural erasure.]
Now, cutting-edge scientific research offers a glimmer of hope in unraveling the mystery of Cahokia's disappearance.

Hosted by Joe Hanson from Be Smart, Overview uses stunning 4K drone footage to reveal the natural and human-made marvels shaping our planet -- literally from a 10,000-foot view.

Kazakhstan: Tomb of Scythian Prince


Kazakhstan: The Tomb of the Scythian Prince
(imineo DocumentariesKAZAKHSTAN, Central Asia. Walk in the footsteps of the Scythian princes who lived in the 1st millennium AD.
  • The Buddha was born a Scythian (Shakyian, Saka) prince in the Indo-Scythian region of Sakastan (Gandhara, modern Afghanistan). See the work of maverick Indian historian Dr. Ranajit Pal, particularly his breakthrough work Alexander. In Proto-India (Magadha and other kingdoms), the Buddha was considered a "foreigner" because he was a Saka (Scythian, Shakya, Sakai) and treated as such, particularly much later by Sri Shankara who created a systematic "Hinduism" (Indus-ism) out of the ancient indigenously Indian Vedic (Indus Valley Civilization "knowledge books") and Brahminical (Brahmanism) traditions of the Brahmin priests.
These mysterious people, intrepid horsemen and women, have left a real desire for archeological discovery. From the 1st millennium BC onwards, the Scythians constituted a moving and formidable empire established in the vast Eurasian steppes.

The only traces they left us of their existence and significance are their graves: the kurgans (barrows, tumuli, cairnstells, stupas like the unimaginable Takht-e Rostam, Afghanistan).

In April 1999, a Franco-Italian and Kazakh scientific team announced the exceptional discovery in Kazakhstan of a 2,400-year-old Scythian tomb.

A true archeological treasure, the contents of the tomb reveal, among other things, 12 horses entirely harnessed in gold, whose precious adornment testifies to the social rank of the deceased, whom they accompany to their final resting place.

All the objects discovered are unique and shed new light on the life of the mysterious people of intrepid horsewomen and men. More

Ancient pyramid mound builders in USA


Independent researcher Fritz Zimmerman (moundbuilder.blogspot.com) has spent 12 years in the field investigating 700 mound and earthwork sites in the Ohio Valley, USA.

He appeared on Coast to Coast on Oct. 7, 2024, to discuss his findings with dullard host G. Noory. Zimmerman shares his research into burial mounds (akin to Buddhist stupas) and archeological sites, which he says are home to Shadow People, cryptids, ancient dwarf races (wee people), giants, UFOs, and more.

Elaborating on the mounds' historical context, Zimmerman reveals that they date back as early as 800 BC, making them some of the oldest in the nation.
According to Zimmerman, some of the mounds and earthworks are associated with ancient giants, the people known as the Amorites who controlled Babylon from 2000 BC to 1600 BC.

"One of their calling cards," he says, "was advanced mathematics...they knew pi and the square roots of numbers" and discovered the Pythagorean theorem of triangles 1,000 years before ancient Greek Pythagoras.
  • What about the massive prehistoric American city of Cahokia? The Cahokia Mounds is the site of a pre-Columbian Native American city that existed circa 1050–1350 CE [3] directly across the Mississippi River from present-day St. Louis. The state archaeology park lies in southwestern Illinois between East St. Louis and Collinsville [4]. The park covers 2,200 acres (890 ha), or about 3.5 square miles (9 km2), and contains about 80 human made mounds, but the ancient City of Cahokia was much larger. At its apex around 1100 CE, the city covered about 6 square miles (16 km2), included about 120 earthworks in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and functions, and had a population of between 15,000 and 20,000 people. More
Zimmerman suggests that the Amorites were called the Nephilim in the Bible and that they initially came to America to mine copper. He theorizes that these giants eventually intermingled with Native human tribes like the Dakota Sioux, leading to their eventual disappearance.

At the top of Fort Hill in southern Ohio, at a four-foot stone wall "that undulates like a great serpent," Zimmerman once saw a large black mass that was humanoid in shape, which initially seemed about 8 feet tall but then grew in height as it moved toward the trees.

Other witnesses at the site also reported seeing the shadow figure, he reports. One reason such entities would be at the site is that "the mounds were a portal that connected the living with the dead," he notes.

A man who lives near a burial mound told Zimmerman that his car was surrounded by strange cryptids that looked like giant hamsters -- about 30 of them that seemed menacing.

The infamous cryptid creature known as Mothman that multiple witnesses saw in West Virginia in the 1960s may actually be the ancient winged Babylonian demon called Pazuzu, Zimmerman adds. AUDIO: coasttocoastam.com/show/2024-10-07-show
