    This is some real dumb shit. While there is still a lot of archaeological work to be done at Teotihuacan. It was a city center.

    The liquid mercury bit was a piece of folkloric art, using the various precious metals and jewels as a representation of a landscape under the stars. The mercury represented lakes on the landscape.

    Dumb shit is far dumber than the cool shit they were doing artistically.
