Chalcatzingo | The Olmec Earth monster returns home | Megalithomania

Chalcatzingo is a remote Olmec site dating to 1500 BC in Morelos, Mexico. It has numerous pyramids, a ball court and ancient, sophisticated relief carvings suggesting it was used as a shamanic site. It was later adopted by the Teotihuacan culture who built the pyramids. Also known as the 'Earth Monster', the famous 'portal to the underworld' (Monument 9) statue was looted in the 1960s and after years of being in private collections and museums in the US it has now finally made its way home to Chalcatzingo after 60 years. Includes 3D scans and aerial footage.

Welcome to Megalithomania. We film and live-edit all our conferences, and travel the world in search of lost civilizations, megaliths and much more. Please enjoy our videos here and follow the link through to our website to buy the full lectures. Megalithomania was founded by Hugh Newman (who now runs it solo), John Martineau and Gareth Mills in 2005. The conference was created to become an open forum to debate the megalithic arts and sciences. The team felt that history books and colleges do not present the evidence that is being discovered today. Revelations in the fields of archaeoastronomy, geomancy, ley alignments, sacred geometry and other cutting-edge disciplines are helping rewrite our own history, but are often overlooked by the academic world. Many people want to know where we came from and connect to our ancestors so we hope that this annual event can be part of that process. We organise an annual conference in Glastonbury & hold tours to sites all around the world.
