(ORDO NEWS) — One of the most important discoveries related to the ancient Mayan civilization is the mysterious Mayan astronaut engraved on the lid of a sarcophagus found in the tomb of “Pacal the Great” in the ancient Mayan city of Palenque, located in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, Mexico.
The enigmatic figure painted on the lid is King Pacal, whose tomb was found in the “Temple of the Inscriptions” in 1952.
The mysterious tomb of the Mayan king Pakal has attracted the interest of ancient astronaut theorists such as Zacharias and Erich von Däniken, who have suggested that the carved lid of a sarcophagus found in his tomb depicts an ancient astronaut.
On the lid, as in his tomb, Pacal is located in an intermediate space surrounded by drawings and symbols that run along the edges of the lid and represent important components of Maya cosmology.
He was only 12 years old when he took the throne of Palenque in 615 AD and ruled successfully until his death at the age of 80.
It is believed that he was the 7th ruler at such an early age. He built this modest Mayan city and turned it into the foremost urban site of Mesoamerica.
According to mainstream historians, the sarcophagus tells of the death of King Pakal and his descent into the underworld.
Alternatively, Erich von Däniken, in his book Chariots of the Gods, noted that the ruler is depicted sitting inside some kind of spaceship.
He suggested that Palenque is one of the ancient sites that hints at an alien presence on Earth.
Based on their observations, ancient astronaut theorists have stated that King Pacal could be part of a race of alien ancient astronauts who built civilization on Earth.
- Tomb of King Pakal
Pacal the Great was buried in the Temple of the Inscriptions, and the sarcophagus in which his body was located was surrounded by a crypt 9 meters long, with ceilings 7 meters high. In 1949, the Mexican archaeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier penetrated it.
He discovered numerous skeletons of victims sacrificed during the burial of Pacal the Great.
He then visited the crypt, which, in his words, “seems to be dug in the ice. It is a kind of cave, the walls and ceiling of which are so smooth that they seem to be polished.
It also resembles an abandoned chapel, the dome of which is draped with stalactites, and stalagmites are rising from the ground, thick as drops of wax from a candle.”
One of the most amazing things that attracted the attention of archaeologists was the jade and obsidian mosaic mask that covered the face of the deceased.
However, the biggest mystery of Pacal’s tomb was the carving on the lid of his sarcophagus – a stone weighing 5-20 tons.
A man dressed in Mayan fashion appears to be sitting inside a strange vehicle, and many claim it is a spaceship.
Another oddity of King Pakal is his long nose. He even outwardly differed from ordinary people: a high nose cut through his forehead, and he had a narrow face with large eyes.
If you look at other ancient figures, Pacal is not the only person with a raised nose root, this feature can also be seen on ancient figurines excavated on the island of Jaina, an ancient Mayan burial site with about 20,000 graves.
It is possible that long noses protruding from the forehead could be in the DNA of ancient people, or could belong to another human race.
In addition, ancient civilizations with elongated skulls, raised nose roots, unusual teeth, etc. could belong to the human race with a different DNA. But the question is, when did DNA change so dramatically?
Today, archaeologists refute the thesis about the ancient Mayan astronaut, pointing out that the carving on the lid of Pacal the Great’s sarcophagus is only an image of the afterlife: all the symbolic elements are present here, easily recognizable in the images illustrating the journey of the soul of the deceased to the world of the dead.
Despite official denials, many still believe that this strange figure, dressed as a Mayan warrior, is an alien that the inhabitants of Palenque encountered and immortalized in stone 2,000 years ago.
In his book The Lost Realms, Zecharia Sitchin shows that there are similarities between the burial rites of the pharaohs in ancient Egyptian tombs and those observed in the tomb of King Pakal.
Scholars also acknowledge that implicit comparisons between Pacal’s tomb and the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs cannot be avoided, especially the symbols of funerary scenes depicting the journey to the afterlife.
These links, resulting from the application of the ancient astronaut hypothesis to the tomb of King Pakal and the history of the Mayan civilization in general, suggest that King Pakal may have belonged to the Anunnaki who brought civilization to Earth.
Given the Sumerian king list tablets, by the time of Pakal’s death, the vast majority of the Anunnaki had already left Earth. Is it possible that Pacalm was one of the Anunnaki who remained, and his sarcophagus depicted his return to the Anunnaki home planet of Nibiru?
