Deep beneath the Earth's crust lurk many wonders from the ancient world, some great, some terrible, some utterly inscrutable. Archaeology's latest find combines all three in a ruined temple from the ancient Mexican city of Teotihuaca, whose floor was discovered littered with mysterious, gold-colored orbs.
The original purpose of these spherical enigmas is not known, but the tunnels leading out of the temple had been carefully packed with rubble and debris, as though the residents wanted to keep them hidden forever. The ancient Teotihuacans are known to have practiced ritual human sacrifice, so it seems likely that they managed to awaken something dark and terrible, an antediluvian horror that man was never meant to see.
Hollywood has taught us time and again that no good can come from disturbing the relics of the past, especially those that were intentionally hidden from us. Just as the Curse of the Mummy's Tomb claimed so many lives back in the 1930s, so will these orbs doubtless bring furious retribution down upon our meddling heads.
