The mystery Maya astronaut carved on the lid of a coffin unearthed in the tomb of “Pakal the Great” in the ancient Mayan city of Palenque, located in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, Mexico, is one of the most remarkable discoveries relating to the ancient Mayan civilisation.
The mysterious figure portrayed on the lid is King Pascal, whose tomb was discovered in 1952 in the “Temple of Inscriptions.” The mystery Maya monarch Pakal’s tomb piqued the imagination of ancient astronaut theorists such as Zachariah and Erich von Daniken, who proposed that the carved lid of the sarcophagus unearthed in his tomb depicted an early astronaut.
Maya cosmology
The Pakal is depicted on the lid, as well as in his tomb, in an intermediate space surrounded by paintings and symbols that run along the lid’s edges and symbolize significant components of Maya cosmology.
He was only 12 years old when he ascended to Palenque’s throne in 615 AD, and he reigned successfully until his death at the age of 80. At such a young age, he is thought to be the 7th ruler.
He transformed this small Mayan metropolis into Mesoamerica’s most advanced metropolitan area. According to the primary historians, the sarcophagus depicts King Pakal’s death and descent into the underworld.
Spaceship
In his book “Chariots of the Gods,” Erich von Daniken remarked that the monarch is represented sitting aboard some form of spaceship. He proposed that Palenque is one of the ancient sites that point at the presence of aliens on Earth. According to ancient astronaut theorists, King Pakal could have been part of a race of alien ancient astronauts who constructed a civilisation on Earth based on their observations.
Pakal the Great was buried in the Temple of Inscriptions, and his coffin was enclosed by a 9-meter-long vault with 7-meter-high ceilings. Alberto Rus Luillier, a Mexican archaeologist, broke into it in 1949.
He uncovered countless skeletons of victims sacrificed during Pakal the Great’s funeral. Then he went to the crypt, which he described as “dug in the ice.” This is a cave, and the walls and ceiling are so smooth that they appear polished. It also seems like an abandoned chapel, with stalactites draped across the dome and stalagmites rising from the ground as thick as droplets of wax from a candle.
Mysterious vehicle
One of the most astounding things that drew archaeologists’ notice was a jade and obsidian mosaic mask that covered the deceased’s face. The engraving on the lid of Pakal’s sarcophagus – a stone weighing 5-20 tons – was the biggest mystery of his tomb. A man dressed in Mayan garb appears to be sitting inside a mysterious vehicle, which many believe is a spaceship.
King Pakal’s long nose is another anomaly. He even stood out from the crowd, with a prominent nose that cut across his forehead and a small face with large eyes. Looking at other ancient figures, Pakal is not the only person with an elevated nose root; this trait was also discovered on ancient figurines discovered on Jaina Island, an ancient Maya burial site with around 20,000 tombs.
Long noses jutting from the forehead could be in the DNA of ancient people, or they could belong to another human group. Furthermore, ancient civilizations with extended heads, higher nose roots, unique teeth, and so on may have belonged to a separate human race with a different DNA. But when did DNA undergo such profound change?
Journey of soul
Archaeologists today refute the theory of the ancient Mayan astronaut, pointing out that the carving on the lid of Pacal the Great’s sarcophagus is simply an image of the afterlife: all symbolic elements are present here, easily recognizable in the images illustrating the journey of the deceased’s soul into the world of the dead.
Despite government denials, many people believe that this bizarre figure dressed as a Mayan warrior is an alien whom Palenque residents encountered and engraved on a stone 2,000 years ago.
Zecharia Sitchin‘s book “The Lost Realms” demonstrates similarities between pharaoh death ceremonies in ancient Egyptian tombs and those observed in King Pakal’s tomb. Scientists also realize that an implied parallel between Pakal’s tomb and the crypts of the Egyptian pharaohs is impossible to overlook, particularly the emblems of funerary scenes showing a trip to the hereafter.
Anunnaki
These linkages, which occurred as a result of applying ancient astronaut theory to King Pakal’s tomb and the history of the Maya civilization in general, suggest that King Pakal may have belonged to the Anunnaki, the beings that brought civilization to Earth.
According to the Sumerian tablets describing the list of rulers, the vast majority of the Anunnaki had already fled the Earth by the time Pakal died. Is it possible that Pakalm was one of the Anunnaki who remained, and his sarcophagus portrayed his return to Nibiru, the Anunnaki home planet?
