It is thought that the Mica was mined locally but there are no large deposits of it in anywhere in Mexico.
The Large amounts exist in Brazil. The type of mica found at Teotihuacán is only found in Brazil in deposits that are more than 2000 miles away. It is a mystery how it was transported to Teotihuacan and what its function is in the inside layer of the Pyramid of Sun.
Mica deposits are found in India, Africa, Brazil and China.
The principal deposits of Mica in India are found in Bihar, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh

um, how do you know? More importantly how do WE know what you say?
Originally posted by tadamanIt was used as decorative flooring? then covered up? If it was a poor building material, why did they finish installing it once they realized it was not good?
Originally posted by tadaman Also how do you know where it was mined? Please back up what you say with more than your word on it. Where was it mined exactly according to you? Where are the nearest Mica deposits large enough to make a temple floor, or ....insulator."

EDIT:
You made up that entire post. What exactly did you base ANY of that information on? Your imagination?
Originally posted by tadamanThere are no significant Mica deposits in Mexico or the immediate area to make more than a few bead necklaces a year. It is scarce there. Not nearly enough for a MAJOR construction project.
Originally posted by tadamanAlso, that little story about hating to be the priest getting scolded for that screw up is just the icing on the cake. If it was decorative they would have placed it ABOVE ground, not buried it.
Originally posted by tadamanYou want to imply that they were intelligent enough to PRECISELY align temples to stars and build structures that last thousands of years using near perfect engineering, yet couldnt choose what to make a floor out of? Even cave people would know the obvious fickle qualities of mica since it was probably used as a prehistoric material for flake tools when (if) found. It wasnt used allot as you say. Where? for what purposes? What do you base that comment on? More imagination?

Originally posted by tadamanAlso, you just lied. How do you justify the statement that my information was false and that there are mica deposits near the temple, if ALL official data in the subject says differently.
you are a belligerent ignoramus.

How do you figure?, what evidence do you put forward that presents an opposing theory? Or are you just here to mindlessly banter and try to sway people away from actual evidence with you simple opinion?

and youre a hateful little douche.
I didnt mention Stichen. BUT the fact that you have such a problem with him and so you try and pin him to me shows your bias. I have not mentioned Stichen as a worthy contributor or not, but since everyone that doesnt agree with you must be lumped together into one derogatory group, then so be it. You generalize and insult everyone not in line with your thoughts. That is also what makes you blind.(and a mean idiot)

I happen to not agree with stichen on every one of his translations of SUMERIAN texts. Considering this thread is about the Americas I guess you ignored that little fact but still wanted to lump me together with everyone you could discredit.

Also Going back to that "fringe" article that you have such a problem with, it is correct in mentioning the mica layer and was good enough to point this out. The Mica in Mexico is metallic in nature. It is not very transparent. The same quality mica used in the temple is found in Brasil NOT in Mexico, which it also pointed it. Trace element testing showed it to come from Brazil. End of story.

SOO. You can cherry pick what you try to discredit, but in the end you are just being a negative person. You know why you are always appalled? Because your mind is toxic, and even you cant stand yourself. Try a little positive effort on your part and see how it feels. Everything in life doesnt have to be some ignorant intellectual hate fest.
