Mexican researcher Sergio Gómez announced on Friday that he had discovered “large quantities” of liquid mercury in a chamber below the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent, the third largest pyramid of Teotihuacan, the ruined city in central Mexico.
The shimmering, reflective qualities of liquid mercury may have resembled “an underworld river, not that different from the river Styx,” Headrick said, “if only in the concept that it’s the entrance to the supernatural world and the entrance to the underworld.”
“Mirrors were considered a way to look into the supernatural world, they were a way to divine what might happen in the future,” she said. “It could be a sort of river, albeit a pretty spectacular one.”
Joyce said that archaeologists know that scintillation fascinated the ancient people generally, and that the liquid mercury may have been regarded as “somewhat magical … there for ritual purposes or symbolic purposes.”
mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions.
It is used in lighting: electricity passed through mercury vapor in a fluorescent lamp produces short-wave ultraviolet light which then causes phosphor to fluoresce, making visible light.
In 1860, John Thomas Way used arc lamps operated in a mixture of air and mercury vapor at atmospheric pressure for lighting
Low-pressure mercury-vapor lamps usually have a quartz bulb in order to allow the transmission of short wavelength light
Mercury has a unique electron configuration where electrons fill up all the available subshells. Because this configuration strongly resists removal of an electron, mercury behaves similarly to noble gas elements.
Perhaps, the most profound value of Noble Gas Technology lies in the exotic healing value of the gases themselves. Not only do these special elements provide an excellent medium for the transfer of an electrical field of energy, they also provide an access to what is called ether, or the "gap," as Deepak Chopra calls it.
Allowing the full frequency electrical energy to travel across air and ether inside a glass tube adds a unique multidimensional component. It is within this gap that photon energy can be expressed in its primordial state, acting just as it does in the expansive void of intergalactic space. It is here that the essence of these most stable elements comes alive.
Many believe these gases act as windows to other dimensional realities and are integral to higher states of consciousness that once prevailed on Earth.
Walter Russel, renowned spiritual scientist, described the Noble Gases as holographic representatives of all the other elements in the universe or "octaves of integrating light."
Many historic applications made use of the peculiar physical properties of mercury, especially as a dense liquid and a liquid metal:
In November, 2014 "large quantities" of mercury were discovered in a chamber 60 feet below the 1800 year old pyramid known as the "Temple of the Feathered Serpent," "the third largest pyramid of Teotihuacan," Mexico along with "jade statues, jaguar remains, a box filled with carved shells and rubber balls."
The ancient Greeks used mercury in ointments; the ancient Egyptians and the Romans used it in cosmetics. In Lamanai, once a major city of the Maya civilization, a pool of mercury was found under a marker in a Mesoamerican ballcourt.
Quantities of liquid mercury ranging from 90 to 600 grams (3.2 to 21.2 oz) have been recovered from elite Maya tombs or ritual caches at six sites. This mercury may have been used in bowls as mirrors for divinatory purposes.
The development of such unparalleled 'super-structures' at this time, along with such a dramatic change in the social order and worship strongly supports the idea of another, as yet unidentified influence in the Nile valley culture. In addition, there are several compelling facts which tend to suggest that the traditional 'pyramids as tombs' theory can no longer be considered sufficient to explain the presence of such developments at this time.
According to the theosophical tradition the Great Pyramid was originally used as a temple of initiation. This idea was researched by Marsham Adams, who in 1895, wrote the book 'The Book of the Master' (...of the Hidden House), in which he showed that 'The soul of the departed is pictured as following the passages and chambers of the great pyramid. They enter into the Hidden Places and penetrate the secret of the House of Light (compare the ancient Egyptian name for the Great Pyramid - "Khut," or "Light").
The Egyptian name for the pyramids is 'Khuti' - 'The lights'. Davidson (2) believed that this name originated from the semetic equivelant which was 'Urim' - 'The lights'. In Phrygian and Greek, the root 'Ur' - 'light', became successively 'Pur' and 'Pyr' (fire), and 'Pyra' (Plural).
Well known American Egyptologist Mark Lehner has stated that the ancient Khemitian term for pyramid was something he calls MR.Pyramid. Lehner bases this on his translation of MR as "Place of Ascension"
However, the ancient Khemitians apparently used the term PR.NTR, Per-Neter, for pyramid. Per means "house" and Neter has been translated by Egyptologists as "God" or "Goddess". However, this could also be translated as "House of Nature, or House of Energy" for Per-Neter. . With this understanding of Per-Neter as House of Nature, god or energy, we are given three different interpretations of the word 'pyramid'.
The Greek word 'Pyramidos' has an interesting meaning. If we support Dunn's ideas that the energy reactions in the Great Pyramid took place in the so-called Queen's and King's Chambers, then certainly it was 'Fire in the Middle'.
Chapman holds that the pyramid is born of the roots 'pyr', 'em', and 'us', meaning 'Far resplendent light/fire'

I agree (to a point)...And just to be clear, I don't have any issues with people entertaining occasional far-out, fantastical ideas about history. It's good to exercise one's imagination. I certainly do. When people take those fun, crazy thoughts, and start to believe that they have some sort of basis in reality, despite overwhelming amounts of actual science and evidence to the contrary, that's when I take issue. Our collective past is perfectly exciting as is, without all the uneducated fantasy, outright lies, and willful ignorance muddying it up.
Out of legitimate curiosity, and since you brought up the term "alternative history", I've got a question: How do you differentiate "alternative history" from pure fantasy?
