An Argentine scientist has made remarkable discoveries while studying ancient underground galleries in Patagonia, South America. These galleries contain the oldest known pigment-based rock art in South America, dating back as far as 8,200 years. The art, which spans multiple generations, provides insights into the lives and communication methods of early inhabitants.
The ethnologist was convinced that many kilometers of tunnels were created by extraterrestrial intelligence. Wide corridors with smooth, polished walls and sharp 90-degree turns all indicated the artificiality of the structures. Moreover, it was there that he discovered a secret library made of many metal plates.
Thousands of the thinnest sheets of metal, measuring 96 by 48 centimeters, were completely covered with an unknown script.
Moricz was certain that this metal library contained the true history of mankind and the incredible knowledge of a vanished civilization. Later, he wrote:
“These plates probably depict the history of vanished civilizations, of which we have no idea today.”
In 1965, Juan Moricz claimed to have discovered a “Golden Library” within the Cueva de los Tayos in Ecuador. Four years later, he announced this discovery under oath to the President of Ecuador.
Around the same time, Erich von Däniken, a well-known researcher, became involved in studying these mysterious tunnels, which he described in his 1973 book “The Gold of the Gods”.
Erich von Däniken, a Swiss author, shared his views in the book “The Gold of the Gods.” In this book, he presents new evidence supporting his theories about an intergalactic “battle of the gods” whose losers retreated to Earth. He explores mysterious caves in Ecuador filled with gold and ancient writings, suggesting a prehistoric era of gods on Earth.
“Undoubtedly, we are not talking about natural formations: underground corridors turn strictly at right angles, they are sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, but the walls are smooth everywhere, as if polished. The ceilings are perfectly flat and seem to be varnished.”
The idea of vast underground corridors stretching for hundreds or thousands of kilometers beneath Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina is fascinating. These tunnels, lying over two hundred meters deep, suggest the work of a highly advanced civilization. But what was their purpose?
Modern researchers believe these tunnels might have been part of an ancient communication network. However, this might not be the whole story.
It appears that these tunnels also served as storage facilities, hiding something incredibly valuable: information. This is where the concept of a “metal library” comes in. If deciphered, this library could potentially enrich humanity with lost knowledge.
But this was not destined to come true. Apparently, some secret forces came into play, and the metal tomes disappeared from the sight of ordinary people. To date, information about them lies in the realm of speculation and mystical theories.
The same attempt was made with knowledge of the tunnels themselves. In the early seventies, Juan Moricz publicly declared that he had never been to any underground labyrinths and, moreover, he did not know anything about any library.
This statement alarmed the scientific community and jeopardized von Däniken’s career. The newly published book “Gold of the Gods” was recognized as a hoax, and the Swiss author was branded as a pseudoscientist.
Despite the challenges, adventurers continued their quest, and another researcher, Stanley Hall, joined the search for the labyrinth and the mysterious library.
In 1976, Hall organized an expedition to the Ecuadorian jungle. At that time, a military government had taken power in the country, sidelining the democratic bureaucracy.
Hall spearheaded an Ecuadorian-British project, involving numerous military personnel. To gain international recognition for the archaeological group, they needed a person of global renown. This role was filled by the American astronaut Neil Armstrong.
It seems that the American has one more historic step ahead of him, but this time it all ends in zilch. Yes, in 1976, Armstrong did set foot in Ecuador’s underground tunnel network, but that was about it.
Several caves have been studied, and their man-made origin is highly questionable. Hundreds of new plant species have been discovered, but there is no trace of the mysterious library. It seems that Hall’s expedition has gone off track.
The situation, while frustrating for the researcher, provides additional insights. Ten years earlier, Juan Moricz mentioned in an interview that a local hunter had shown him a secret entrance and even named him.
If Moricz now denies his own words, it becomes crucial to locate that guide. The quest for the mysterious metal library continues.
