Lost City of Lagunita Among Two Ancient Mayan Discoveries
Whomever had stood here on November 29th in the year 711 A.D. is long forgotten to the passing centuries.
An etching in stone commemorates the visit, which is merely one of many discovered among stones lining an ancient city site on the Yucatan Peninsula that has long been shrouded in mystery; as well as foliage dense enough to help ensure it’s location would remain well-hidden.
Indeed, while the identity of this ancient traveler may forever remain a mystery, their indelible mark remains at a spot in the heart of the Mexican jungle that was once long-lost, and then rediscovered; but then curiously, it was lost again.
The Mayan ruins of Lagunita were first uncovered by American archaeologist and epigrapher Eric Von Euw in the 1970s, who was visiting the region of Campeche four decades ago.
While there, he uncovered what appeared to be a massive stone facade–a huge doorway distinctive of such Mayan sites–but despite documenting the discovery, and even giving it a name, his description of where the site was discovered was poor enough that future attempts by archaeologists to return to the site had resulted in failure.
Lost Lagunita, it seemed, had been lost all over again.
Fast forward some four decades to the present: only recently, a team of archaeologists led by researcher Ivan Sprajc have announced that the once-found and lost-again city has indeed been rediscovered, with the help of aerial photography of the region that provided helpful clues about Lagunita’s possible whereabouts.

But in addition to the rediscovery of Von Euw’s lost city, remarkably, a second set of ruins was uncovered nearby.
Dubbed Tamchen, a name borrowed from Mayan mythology, the second site very nearly mirrors the first location, from it’s large chambers and ornate building structures, to a large pyramid that each location features.
However, in addition to the aboveground structures, there are reportedly a number of hidden underground chambers at the Tamchen site, which indicate an elaborate system the builders had designed for purpose of collecting rainwater and storing it in cooler below-ground containment areas.

However, it is interesting to note that Mayan mythology entails that caves (which facades such as that found at the newly rediscovered Lagunita site are built to resemble) are entrances to a watery underworld.
Caves in Mayan culture were also representative of the mother’s womb, and hence, it might also be interpreted that the underground chambers found at Tamchen were somehow representative of fertility, the womb, and the Mayan traditions that associated each with an aqueous world that existed below ground.
While the exact age of these lost Mayan cities remains in question, it is believed that each location may have existed as far back as 300 B.C.; this would have made Lagunita 1000 years old already, at the time its “mystery traveler” would have left the 700-year-old etching discovered there recently.

When I was court-ordered into a mental ward at a public hospital in south africa (trust me, you don’t wanna go there), there was this Moldovan girl (why would a sexy Moldovan girl be in a South African mental ward?)…
She walked up to me (when we first met) and she was like “I remember you”…and she mentioned having died 2 million times. She was quite clever, actually, weird, but very clever.
I wouldn’t annoy her.

Oh, that helped to cement my hatred of anything and everything medical institution, pharma, govt, btw.
Since then they’ve been having to read very peculiar scripts.

Sir, you wouldn’t happen to have this sexy Moldovan girl’s phone number?Asking for a friend. Thanks,Buba.

I do not, I went to go check on those patients at the mental ward a week after I was released there.
Some of them (harmless and horribly drugged by the psychiatrists) were sent to mental institutes for the criminally insane.
That’s one of the reasons we’re at war now.

Hi PSI Editors,
What more proof do you need to shutdown Sir_isO’s comments? Who just wrote: “Oh, that helped to cement my hatred of anything and everything medical institution, pharma, govt, btw.”
There are disturbed people out there who have the potential to do great damage to others. Consider the following report about Wildfires.

Have a good day, Jerry

Congratulations, Jerry. You have found yourself a new overlord.

Every “psychiatric” drug is an attack, with toxicity from institutional insecurity.
The scorpion shall open the book of Solomon for you to sssseeeee…..

If you did not know, psychiatrists, in particular, failed at physics. They project their arrogant insolent abuse with toxicity, on others. They are the least respectable of practically any “profession”.
And I have proof.

Jerry, why are you defending corrupt authoritarians exploiting people, toxifying them, stealing from them…and being a little bitch about it?

Poilte request from your admin team; if you cannot make comments relevant to the post, please do not comment. Your comments have started to annoy other readers.

Goodbye PSI.
Your denial. Your denial.

Think about how many times I was personally attacked, and you ignored that.
Your PSI is eternally faked news now.

How many alises do you need to try influence? As I said, you’re going to hell.

Funny isn’t it?
Like when “God gave man dominion over earth”. Except that was bullshit, and actually that was Satan seeing how deep a hole you could dig.
And now your hole is endless.
Coz choices. Your inherent lack of a soul.

Hi Andy and John O’,
How is it that none of us have commented about the mystery of the Mayan ruins about which there is no question as to their existence and the people who had constructed what was seen by someone “November 29th in the year 711 A.D.”
We really do need to address the facts (observations) about which there can be no question; Who were these people how have demonstrated their skills??? We need to question the environmental changes that obviously have occurred since these ‘ruins’ were constructed.
This article is on ‘page 2’ to be forgotten again!!!
Please get rid of Sir_isO for he is a huge distraction and he is still commenting off topic at 8/13/2021 at 2:20pm.
And PSI Readers, we really do need to have a conversation about this Mystery for it is a observed fact.
Have a good day, Jerry
