Originally Published 2 years ago — by Express
Archaeologists exploring a hidden tunnel beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent in Teotihuacan, Mexico, discovered two "golden orbs" wrapped in a gold film. The orbs, made of clay, were found in a side tunnel and are believed to have served a sacred ritual purpose. The walls surrounding the orbs were covered in a gold substance, possibly representing the cosmos. Researchers speculate that the Maya used these orbs to study the night sky, particularly the orbit of Mars, which held great significance in their calendar. The discovery provides further evidence of the Maya's advanced astronomical knowledge.
