Mysterious Doorway For Monday Mystery...!

Many times we run across something from olden civilizations that we just have no clue as to what they are, or for what purpose they were intended. This is one of those mysterious items.

The Incan Doorway of Aramu Muru in Peru is a large square carved into a surface of rock. It’s 7 meters (23 ft) on each side, smoothed into a flat surface on an outcrop. In the center of the square at the bottom is an alcove a few feet wide and about as tall as a person. It looks like someone had started carving a building into the rock and just gave up.

The door has gained a cult following among believers in the paranormal, who say it’s a magical portal. Locals say it leads to the underworld and can be opened by magicians with special keys or enchantments. Some say it opens at midnight and there is a city on the other side. It’s even been suggested as a gateway to a distant part of the universe.

Could South American natives really have accomplished magical interstellar travel thousands of years ago? It would be nice if that’s what they were attempting. The alternative is that someone was forced to give up their awesome construction project, and that’s just a little bit sad.

I can't help but wonder what this doorway could be, ya know?

Coffee out on the patio this morning!

Sure makes a person wonder about it. I think the aliens that visited South America built it.

Reminds me of Newgrange, the Megalithic site we visited in Ireland. Said to have been built about 3200 BC. Incredible place, with no real answers or information about who built it or why.
The world is bigger and more wondrous than you and I can ever imagine, Bubba.
Checking again on B in NC, ok last I heard on Saturday.

Peru is where the ancient figures are in the ground that can be seen only by flying above them.

I think you're right about someone starting to carve out a home but, the theory of a magic doorway is intriguing.

Hey Linda...
You may be right about that!
Thanks for coming over today!


Hey Sis...
That must have been quite a sight. Sounds as though the visit was educational.
Thanks for the visit this morning!


Hey Rob...
Lots of mysteries around Peru, that's for sure.
Thanks for stopping by this morning!


Hey Momlady...
That would have taken quite a while, I think. Still, it's quite a thought.
Many thanks for coming over today!

The idea of the underworld has been a belief of the ancient Indian People's folklore. But that is an amazing doorway to leave open the mind of theories. Could it be that the rock was just to much for them to carve? This is a good mystery for today

See you all on the patio for this mystery
