Do Ancient Mayan Temples Align With Star Constellations?

Did the ancient Maya people use the stars and the constellations as a map to build their temples? New evidence hints that they did, which brings up a new question about archaeology: What if we used star maps to look for ancient sites? Would they prove that certain sites were man made? In Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse series, he began to explore this theory, joining other researchers who have pointed out that the Pyramids of Giza are the main location that aligns exactly with the stars. Today, mainstream scholars and archaeologists disprove this theory, however, because the stars do not align now—or even 3,000 years ago—with what they say is the age of the pyramid complex.

However, the pyramids did align with the stars very exactly over 12,000 years ago, going against the mainstream understanding of when the pyramids were built. But what if we took this approach a step further, venturing off of our own planet and onto another, specifically Mars? Using star charts, is it possible that the ancient region of Cydonia on Mars holds the key to a cosmic mystery, revealing that it was a site built by an intelligent, advanced race? Will we find a rational layout that mimics the stars? Or is it all random structures formed over eons of wind and dirt?

Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder Live show as they unravel the mysteries of these ancient locations. At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer. See you out on the edge!

Q&A: “Who do you think the people were who built these ancient structures?” “When will you guys write a book?” “There is a belief that the earth is a prison planet, a low-vibrational realm where life is hard. What are your thoughts?”
