To visit sites that reflect possible connections with ancient astronaut theory like the pyramids in Egypt, Puma Punku, Easter Island, Chichen-Itza, Palenque (where my design was found on the lid of the Mayan ruler Pacal's sarcophagus), the Nazca lines etc. Pictures please!!! In addition, traveling from cache to cache in the meantime is great! Help me log some miles!!
The text embossed on the back of the coin reads:
"Temple of Inscriptions
Palenque, Mexico 692 A.D.
In the city of Palenque, in a temple on the top of a pyramid, the archeologist Albert Lluillier found in 1952 the access to a funerary cript that houses the sarcophagus of the King Pacal Votan the Great (615-683 A.D.). The Soviet scientist Alexander Kazantev came out with the theory that the relief on the lid of the sarcophagus represents an astronaut and his spaceship but according to the Mayan legend, the symbolism of the lid shows King Pacal falling into the jaws of the Earth monster each night to rise again with the power of the sun each morning. Its teeth are enlarged to demonstrate its encompassing power. At the top is the mythological "Moun" bird. The pillar-like construction above Pacal's head is the tree of life. The original lid in Mexico is twelve feet long."
I am not the actual geocoin, but move me along as if I were!
