I often fly the early morning run from Mexico City to San Francisco. That flight path covers almost exactly this terrain, which I so love to photograph in low angle early morning light conditions. Seeing it unfold all together in a single majestic mosaic is wonderful. Thanks!

The term “likely” is doing a lot if heavy lifting. It is worth remembering that this structure within the Olmec chronological horizon, and Olmec-associated structures offer ample evidence of so-called “quinquince” (cosmographic representations) of the four-cornered cardinal cosmos.

Why the clickbaity header? The site is dated ~ 900 BCE, which is within Olmec horizons: 1 The Olmecs built monumental architecture, so no
“mystery” there, 2 “Within the archaeological community, there is broad debate about what defines a cosmogram…Some archaeologists, believe “the term is overused”

Further insight into this videoclip: those are Tibetans speaking in Amdo dialect. As ever, it is usually “minority nationalities” out in the colonized boonies of Western China that have to deal with the fallout of these increasing, and environmentally indifferent launches.

This was first reported in peer-reviewed journals back in the 00’s, and synthesised in Terry Hunt and Carl Lipo’s book, The Statues that Walked, in 2011. Hardly news. Although it’s always good to present these findings to more people.

Indeed. Terry Hunt et al. published their findings on this about 20 years ago. It made the headlines back then, but clearly has continuing clickbaity value, for those who like recycling old news in new bottles.
