An interesting discovery has been made in Mexico’s ancient city of Teotihuacan. I wish that robots like this would be used in more mysterious ancient places – how about for exploring beneath the Sphinx where there may be large hollow chambers?

Teotihuacan ‘Orbs,’ Metallic Spheres, Found By Robot Under ‘Temple Of The Feathered Serpent’ In Mexico

Indiana Jones would most certainly approve…”

Rising nearly 32 feet (10 meters) high, it has a diameter of about 230 feet (70 meters). To put that in perspective, the outer stone circle of Stonehenge has a diameter just half that with its tallest stones not reaching that height. (See Photos of the Mysterious Sea of Galilee Structure”)…
