The mystery of the Sybil's Cave
At Cuma, in the area of Phlegraean Fields in Naples there is a mysterious tunnel dug into a mountain that presents shocking similarities with the Maya pyramid in Palenque
In terms of tourism the Sybil Cave is a popular archaeological site which is located on top of a volcanic hill, it is the 'acropolis of Cumae, in Pozzuoli, in the province of Naples. This site is not only important because it is the oldest Greek colony of Italy,: its origin in fact dates back to IX-VIII BCE, when colonies ofrom Chalcis coming from Eubea allocated on this surface already inhabited by indigenous peoples more backward . But another reason that makes this place so important is the so-called Sybil's Cave, the place where the Sybil of Cumae prophetized the future. This enigmatic trapezoyd-shaped cave was attached precisely at the residence (or "job") of the famous Sybil of Cumae, consecrated to god Apollo: it is said that this ancient priestess, whose origins are lost in myth, the expected future responding so enigmatic and ambiguous questions of the ancient Greek warriors, but alsoRomans that asked her before leaving for the war. From her no coincidence comes the term "sibillino". Officially, the tunnel was built by the ancient Greeks and then by Romans already mentioned, being produced in two periods: the first between the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, when they were excavated in a very hard tufa bank the gallery and room of the oracle then later in IV-III century BCE, was amended and extended.
Another hypothesis attributes the origin of the cave in more recent times, as some archaeologist said to have been dug at the time of the Second World War in order to use it as a bunker or a munitions depot.
A reflection, however, comes to mind: Romans or Nazis, why take the trouble to dig trapezoid-shaped instead of a simple rectangular tunnel? Certainly looking at the Cave as a whole, it does not make much of the Roman styling! In fact from a careful analysis one can see a striking resemblance to the tunnel that leads to the famous tomb in the Mayan pyramid of King Pacal, Palenque in Mexico. The thing is already glaring in itself: but this is not the only example, well others are archaeological sites in the world in which they were found similarities with this monument. Recall for example the trapezoyd doors of Etruscan tombs, in Tuscany and Lazio, also somewhat mysterious, or even our thoughts turn to those megalithic walls of Inca people in Cusco in Peru and Ollantaytambo. Very strange matter, if we think that all these old people were far from one anothr thousands of miles but with one thing in common as peculiar as the "Trapezoyd shaped door".

Today we are trying to understand what is really the meaning of this type of geometry in the past. Many assumptions are made by official science to explain what really was this Cave, to whom it was built? Which function had it? And why of this shape?. Somebody speaks about the union of masculine (square) to female (triangular), who supports a thesis climb towards the heavenly perfection… We don't know, there is no evidence. But entering the cave, five meters high, two and a half wide and about 131 meters long, we see that on the right wall are opened nine openings also trapezoidal, while at one point we see inscribed on the wall a deep hand-dug imprinted into the rock. Towards the middle of the corridor on the left there is a square shaped room with three trapezoidal rooms placed into cross. These three openings are lower and accessed by a small stairs placed on the left of every room but today barricaded. At the bottom of the rooms are placed some basins which vaguely remind sarcophags but much smaller . Shortly forward, always on the left of the Dromos, there is a small room few square meters wide and about 1.60 m high, and a singular angular stone similar to a "sofa" . Arriving later at the bottom of the tunnel there is a square room through an arch, but this one is rounded- shaped, and immediately on the left is accessed, through an arc but lower than the previous one, in what should be the room of the 'oracle, even here with three small arches placed into cross. For a person who logs in the first room and looks toward the oracle has been the impression that there sholud be a lobby and that the tunnel could continue through the three doors, but now we realize that these are closed, as if enormous cubic blocks obstructed the entrance to further tunnels. It seems a bit strange that after such a long corridor, suddenly the cave ends in what should be room of the oracle large only a few square meters, and if we look carefully the three doors do not appear to be well dug in rock, but from cracks in the corners seems that three boulders closing entries, among other things on the central one there are engraved deep furrows. Other odd we can see along the corridor: on the walls there are large holes of about ten centimeters on both sides, as if the beams had crossed from one side to another on the walls, while small niches open on the left wall. Finally, on the sides of the cave there are a kind of step, as if something was supported above.

As mentioned earlier, looking at the cave of Pacal sarcophagus is very similar in shape at the Sybil's Cave, including this "step" on the wall at the bottom. In fact the covering plate of the sarcophagus of the King based on these projections. This will make us think that something like plates could be placed in the middle of the tunnel, perhaps along the entire corridor. But if so, if the Cave was not a tomb, what was its purposee? And in the oracle room with three doors, if they were such things, what could hide behind? Maybe some secret chambers or even other corridors that lead who knows where. Perhaps the famous access into hell that the poet Virgil said in his famous Aeneid.
The whole area of the Phlegraean Fields is connected to the myth of death and the Ades. The near Lake Avernus for classical concealed the entrance to Tartarus, the Greek-Roman peoples of the afterlife. It is no coincidence that Virgilius sends here his hero Aeneas to meet his father Anchises in the Champs Elysees, and perhaps not surprisingly below the level of the Sibyl's Cave there is the Roman Crypt,an example of underground architecture and engineering connecting the area of Cumae just as Lake Averno, connecting it to the Cave of Cocceio. The tunnel is explored for 180 meters, beyond the debris might still continue, unexplored.
Cuma is a fantastic place and out of the world, but there is another famous place that has a kind of architecture in the shape of a trapezoid. This strange style lies within the great Pyramid of Cheope in Egypt, in silouette of the Great Gallery. It is not enough: here is, in the Queen Chamber, a sort of false keystone in the wall formed by the masses of the pyramid. This presents similarities with another door in a Mayan archaeological site in Xocicalco in Mexico.

The Great Pyramid Gallery of Cheops clearly shows the trapezoyd architecture .

 

 

The Queen Chamber always in the Great Pyramid shows this strange opening in a vertical wall.

At Xocicalco, Mexico, the Mayans built a temple with the exact same opening Keystone present at Giza: the meaning of these structures is unknown.

We are now thinking of how it is possible that all these ancient cultures had the same type of architectural significance and that could take the shape of Keystone. What could unite Cumae with the Mayan culture, with that of Egypt and the Incas? All this presupposes that there has been one very ancient culture or even antediluvian, who made the same type of architecture in all these places in the world, a type of megalithic built by a technologically and advanced civilization, once again all this leads us to the civilization of Atlantis. It is said that the Etruscans descend by its inhabitants of the mythical continent, and the same is said also, about Mayans, Egyptians and Incas and probably these progenitors were landed, after the Flood, also in the area of Cumae. Given this possibility and why digging right here the cave, we think that from west, a few kilometers from the archaeological complex, lies the island of Ischia, where as we have already mentioned in our previous article on Hollow Earth , there should be one of the entrances to the underground world of Agharti, linked also to the people of Atlantis. Just in the Phlegraean Fields there is a legend that speaks of the mysterious people of Cimmerian mentioned by Homer in the Odissey. This people was linked to the Phlegraean underground world, ancient inhabitants of the cuman area living underground long time before Greeks and Roman arrived. They are also cited by Strabo, some describes them as a people who lived in houses under the ground called clays and through tunnels, they visited each other "- a type of population that recalls the Anasazi Indians of the United States and the city of faeries of the of Cappadocia in Turkey and that the ancients identified with the dead to be leaving from the Ades. So it is likely that the same, maybe just entering from the Sybil's Cave or perhaps from a place near there, arrived to Ischia and who knows from there until the middle of the Earth, until Agharti. Maybe just behind the mysterious doors of the Oracle could conceal one of the entrance to this mysterious underground world …

Perhaps a link with the underground Kingdom of Agharti? One of the inputs to this mysterious world is traditionally located on the Epomeo Mount of Ischia. And there is Ischia, not far from Cumae (photo center) ... (Right) A space-fighter Viper from the TV series "Battlestar Galactica" ready to start on his catapult.
