Reportedly, archaeologists and experts have discovered an ancient tunnel under the Temple of Snake in the pre-Hispanic city of Teotihuacan, about 28 miles north-east of Mexico City. The underground structure is 15 yards beneath the ground, and it goes eastward. It is about 130 yards long and it ends up with the funeral chambers at the end of the tunnel.

According to further details; researchers of National University discovered the tunnel with the help of a radar device and termed it as “representation of the underworld”.

Experts further said, “At the end, there are several chambers which could hold the remains of the rulers of that Mesoamerican civilization. If confirmed, it will be one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 21st century on a global scale.”
