Pyramid Number Kvikvilko

Kvikvilko – long-forgotten Mexican circular pyramids that are not on the tourist maps.

Spanish king Philip Second, the Habsburg blood, expanded his kingdom to Italy and the Netherlands and Central and South America. In the mid-sixteenth century English Queen Mary, wife to thirty years later by those same Englishmen suffered defeat at sea, which has cost Spain the domination of the world’s seas.

Giant “BUILDERS” Pyramid

Philip sent his trusted doctor Hernandez to Mexico to investigate stories of strange pyramid Cuicuilco (Kvikvilko). After studying the pyramids, Hernandez says his sovereign: “… We found the skeletons of large animals … and the skeletons of people they reached a height of nearly six feet … Native people believe that this pyramid built by giants …”

Three hundred fifty years later it was found that the animals belong to extinct species and Toksodona Titanotere. Human skeletons are, however, even after 450 years in the public domain.

Information about the Pyramid of some unknown civilization that built the first circular pyramid in the region 1000 years BC. There is talk of town with 25,000 inhabitants and a volcano eruption that caused them to abandon it.

Among the multitude of small figurines, ceramics, jewelry and statues in the National Museum of Anthropology is also a figure found in the area Kvikvilko.
