sorry wrong thread disregard.

Sheesh and I was stuck with that one temple that made a shadow like a snake. This info just adds to my belief that the ancient people knew about things we didn't. I agree that the acoustics were built on purpose. Like a great many thing we don't know about. Great find

Awesome thread.

Gave alot of new info I never heard of before. I especially loved the "In Search Of" episode. I loved that show when I was a kid. It's probably the reason I ended up here all these years later.

I'm sure i'll spend alot of time looking up further info on the stuff you presented.

Fascinating stuff OP. I really can't offer any new information as I'm no expert, and as you've said, research by the professionals is yet to have been completed, or even attempted properly for that matter. I would guess though, that this has a lot to do with the structural design of the temples themselves as they might have been set up to resonate sound waves a certain way...? How could they have know how to do this? Beats me.

Which temple are you referring to?

The visual and audio effects that were engineered into the Maya architectures was designed to cause the witnesses to the ritual sacrifices
and those who made pilgrimage to the sacred temples

a case of Transcending the Ordinary Reality around their daily lives.

the 'echos' in a great open space, the rays of the Sun coming thru a portal
to descend down the symbolic 13 levels of the Temple steps. I don't see these contrivances as being beyond their supposed primitive intellect.

If the priests did not confound & amaze, stuptify the masses...
their hold over the population would wane & the 'system' would decay,


none of it is actually 'amazing'..it is only interesting in that there was so much human sweat equity invested on these 'mystical' creations

Great thread. I think you are right. I have to go to work now, but I will be back and start doing a little research. Good Job. S&F.

S+F, we still have a lot to learn about the Maya. I'd love to see more home videos of people's visits there.

Keep in mind, too, that a large stone structure sitting in a verdant landscape is undoubtedly going to produce an echo, can we say for certain that it was intentional?

Very interesting are there any proposed reasons for this acoustical masterpiece what purpose did they serve any guesses folks???.

And even though i hate speculation there appears to be a coralation and the evidence stares right at us that the pyramid builders at the very least had some kind of contact with each other long before the accepted time period.

The human race suffers deeply from amnesia. In my opinion not a proven fact.

Guess

There could be just need to address a large audience. Amps and such where obviously not available, so they would rely upon Acoustical Perfection inorder to communicate the Rulers or Preists words during cerimonies and such.

Everyone would be able to listen without having any excuses such as they couldn't hear in the back row.

Just my guess

Speculation

I believe we had a ONE WORLD RELIGION under the leadership of GOD, and GOD alone in the distant past. (Day 6th to be specific). This predates any of the occurances of Adam and Eve by several 1000 years at the least.

It was nearer the period when Adam and Eve where created that we see conflict between GOD and the Elohim/Angels. This of course is leading upto the events occur some 1000 years after Adam is removed from the Garden, Noah's/The Great Flood.

I believe between the Day Six and the Days of Noah, the fallen came to earth and intermingled specifically with the daughters of men, since they seemed quite Hot, and set themselves up to be the point of worship, since in reality, the Angels/Elohim are to look but not touch, while overlooking/tending the sheep, or humanity in this case.

It is during this period many of the fantastic and impressive structures ever created began to be constructed. All of the Fallen step into the role of GOD, and acted as if they where gods, selecting groups or a group to become their worshippers. This may have also included the deviations we know occured in respect to the Sacrafice and offerings to GOD. They may have become the beheading and ritualistic killings upon the alter of Men, Women and Children.

But the important thing to remember is the fallen all had one preception of Worship to GOD, and how things where done.

Further Speculation for an example.

Take the Great Pyramid. Do you really believe what Hawass has to indicate Eygpt was in the past. Cheops, ha.

This structure is at least 10000 Years old. It may well have represented the "Original" place of worship to GOD, and been the template for the fallen when they left their place of habitation and walked the earth. They would wish to have what GOD had, and what better way than building what he (The Fallen) remembered.

Throw out some 200 Fallen (Just a Number) and we maywell have 200 similiar structures around the globe, that all appear to be like the other, but only not as perfect as the Great Pyramid.

And this could explain the commonality they all share. But again, this is my speculation.
