Aztalan State Park and Museum

This place has been called one of the most spiritually-charged sacred centers in the world. The site consists of three earthen pyramids, burial grounds, a crematorium, and other earthworks that date from 1100 AD. The city was built by the mysterious Temple Mound Builders and was probably home to over 3,000 people. Two opposing religious factions, those who worshipped lunar energies and those who worshipped solar energies, engaged in a continuing battle here for two centuries. The male-dominated sun worshippers prevailed, and the site became desecrated with the bodies of human sacrifices to the Sun and scenes of ritual cannibalism. Today, the area seems charged with a powerful sexual energy. Many couples have been wed on the Pyramid of the Sun, which has also been the scene of animal sacrifices by modern Satanists. The bodies of seven shamans have been found at the Pyramid of the Moon, which is said to exude a seductive female energy. Nearby Rock Lake conceals an underwater necropolis of pyramid-shaped burial chambers that is still being excavated. Many unpleasant paranormal experiences have been reported by sensitive individuals in boats about 500 feet off shore.
