Part 6/8:
Cosmic Connections and Theories on the Underworld
In a remarkable turn of events, the excavation team discovered a perfectly preserved underground chamber beneath the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent. Here, statues believed to represent guardians were unearthed, furthering Gomez's theory that this space was intricately tied to the Teotihuacanos’ understanding of the cosmos—the conduit between the earthly realm and the underworld.
Elements of the tunnel’s structure and artifacts suggest that these ancient builders envisioned their creations as sacred results of divine influence. The presence of pyrite crystals, which would have caught light like stars, hints at how they may have represented their own night sky.
