There are two more pyramids of decreasing heights (Fig. 2 & 3). On one of the walls of the second pyramid (Fig.2) one finds two serpent hooded statues which is the only proof of these being the Jaina monuments. Needless to mention that the Jaina saints had been good at mathematics and astronomy. Whereas, this places was very famous for its observatory
Heads of statues made on the basis of Olemec style have been found in Veeracruz and Tabascus which were sculpted between 1200 to 900 BC. One Head is about 11 ft high. Archeologists believe that these heads are the representatives of the old rulers of this place. The photographs of these heads looked like the heads found in the Bayon temple of Angkorthom of Cambodia. Other statues found here are in padmasan postures with the face looking in front. A historian named Stefan found a statue in padmasan posture sitted on a throne in a palace of Palanque in Ucatan which had two lions on either side of the statue. Certainly this statue must have been of Lord Mahavira.
Mexico Pyramid : (Pyramid of the moon) It is a major tourist site, it lies about 56 kms north-east of Mexico city. The pyramid of the moon was significant to the builders as a site for celebrating state power through ceremony and sacrifices. The Ajtecs named it 'The place where men become gods' believing that it was a divine site.
The Ajtecs came across Teotihuacan's towering stone pyramid in about 1500 AD centuries after the city was torched and abandoned [32]. The decapitated bodies found at the site of excavation prove that the ceremony created horrible scenes of bloodshed with sacrificed people and animals, said one of the scientist. Sabino Sugiyamo, The city-state collapsed around 700 AD, an event as mysterious as its formation.
