A secret tunnel found in Mexico may fainally solve the mysteries of Teotiihucan

On 1 June 2016 Smithsonian reported:
In the fall of 2003, a heavy rainstorm swept through the ruins of Teotihuacan, creating a nearly three-foot-wide sinkhole at the foot of a large pyramid known as the Temple of the Plumed Serpent which The sinkhole revealed a man-made tunnel. Sergio Gomez, an archaeologist with Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, knew that archaeologists had previously discovered a narrow tunnel underneath the Temple of the Sun. He theorized that he was now looking at a kind of mirror tunnel, leading to a subterranean chamber beneath the Temple of the Plumed Serpent. If he was correct, it would be a find of stunning proportions. In archaeology and anthropology circles -- to say nothing of the popular press -- Sergio Gomez's discovery was greeted as a major turning point in Teotihuacan studies.
Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of culture, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
Teotihuacan, 30 miles northeast of present-day Mexico City, has long stood as the greatest of Mesoamerican mysteries: the site of a colossal and influential culture about which frustratingly little is understood, from the conditions of its rise to the circumstances of its collapse to its actual name. Teotihuacan translates as 'the place where men become gods' in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, who likely found the ruins of the deserted city sometime in the 1300s, centuries after its abandonment.
In A.D. 750, nearly 700 years after it was established, the city of Teotihuacán was abandoned. ... The residents took their secrets with them. Today, even after more than a century of excavation at the site, there is an extraordinary amount we do not know about the Teotihuacanos. They did have some kind of quasi-hieroglyphic written language, but we haven't cracked it; we don't know what tongue was spoken inside the city, or even what the natives called the place. We have a conception of the religion they practiced, but we don't know much about the priestly class, or the relative piety of the city's citizenry, or the makeup of the courts or the military. We don't know exactly what led to the city's founding, or who ruled over it during its half-millennium of dominance, or what exactly caused its fall.
