The Ruins of Teotihuacan
These sunken ruins could also provide the key to the origin of the mysterious structure of Teotihuacán in central Mexico. According to Collins:
“The Teotihuacán culture, which thrived in Central Mexico from around 400 BC through until around AD 500, remains an enigma to archaeologists. Its origin is unclear. What we do know is that legends once told by the Totonac peoples of eastern Mexico spoke of the founders of its sacred city of Teotihuacán, with its mighty Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, as having arrived on the Gulf coast from an island homeland which lay beyond the sea.”
There is an eerie similarity between the description of the ruins of the undersea city (roads, buildings and pyramids) given by Paulina Zelitsky, and the enigmatic remains of Teotihuacán that can be seen today not far from Mexico City. It suggests that there was indeed a link between the ruined civilization of Tolemac and the culture of Teotihuacan.
While it is obviously premature to draw any definite conclusions from the underwater evidence, there is every reason to believe that as further information becomes available, the accepted history of Mesoamerican cultures will have to be drastically rewritten. It will also become apparent that the history of Central America will extend back much farther in time than modern historians have thus far believed.
The origin of the legendary city of Teotihuacán is unknown. The name Teotihuacán itself is the Nahuatl (the language spoken by the Aztecs) name that was given to the place by the Aztecs, who simply referred to the builders of this city as their legendary ancestors. Modern historians attribute this site to the Toltec culture, but it is not known whether the Toltecs were an actual ethnic society, or whether the word Toltec was a generic term used by the Aztecs to describe a number of different ancient Mesoamerican societies.
What should immediately become evident is that the practice of pyramid building did not begin with the builders of Teotihuacán. For if the undersea ruins discovered off the island of Cuba do represent similar urban structures, then not only does the origin of the pyramid shape itself come into question, but also its antiquity.
Once the underwater ruins off Cuba have been extensively researched, it will be important to discover whether the “pyramid-like” structures on the sea bed are actual pyramids, and if so, whether they are of the “step-pyramid” type that is characteristic of later Mesoamerican cultures, or whether they have the smooth sides that are associated with the pyramids of Egypt on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.
If the underwater ruins off the island of Cuba do contain pyramid-like structures, this will cause historians to reconsider the possibility that the practice of pyramid building might actually have emanated from a single cultural source. In this case, as Andrew Collins has suggested above, the true origin of the pyramid shape could point to the legendary land of Atlantis, “mankind’s greatest historical enigma”.
The discovery of underwater megalithic ruins is not limited to the coast of Cuba. Many other enigmatic ruins and artifacts have been found in countries surrounding the Caribbean that add force to the argument that entire nations perished in the distant past when the ground sank beneath them and they were swallowed up by the sea, just as has been described in “The Last Days of Tolemac”.
The true origins of the cultures of Central America remain shrouded in mystery. However, as new evidence related to this subject becomes available, it will be included in later instalments. We believe that this will confirm the words of the Oracle of Tolemac, and add further credibility to the events that are predicted to occur on the earth in the immediate future.
