Description
While standing atop The Grand Pyramid perched on the side I was zooming with my Nikon 820 30x. I was taking a panoramic view of the surrounding area and discovered this unknown structure. The structure seems to be miles outside the are of the actual grounds to Uxmal. Because of the size of Uxmal and the dense jungle floor there are areas yet to be discovered. The site of Uxmal over the years has been explored by archeologist world wide. I personally plan a return trip to make my discovery known to the site archeologist if they are even aware of this. While standing atop unless you are looking for this particular structure you do not actually see it with the naked eye. After reviewing the video I took of the entire terrain its just barely visible to the naked eye. It appears to be hidden behind the dense foliage of the jungle below. This photo was taken with a Nikon 820 of a structure miles beyond the site of Uxmal. I am personally doing scans using google earth to see if in fact this structure is visible from above. There was no mention by my guide Carlos of any other structures on the site of Uxmal. I plan on contact the Mexican Archeologist of my discovery, while taking video footage of the area beyond the actual site of Uxmal....Is it possible this may be an area yet to be explored by archeologist is uncertain. In my video of 30x it this structure only appears as a speck within the thick jungle. Archeologist have in fact announced using NASA images they have in fact discovered two never before explored sites in the general area of the Yucatan.......
