In 1934, G. Warren Shufelt told the Los Angeles Times that he had discovered the ruins of an ancient reptilian civilization beneath Los Angeles, USA.
Deep in the heart of Los Angeles’ financial district, hundreds of feet below the massive downtown buildings that house banks and corporate offices, lies another city remembered only in legends. American urbanism, an underground world built by a strange race that disappeared thousands of years ago.
At least that’s what mining engineer G. Warren Shufelt claimed in the Los Angeles Times on January 29, 1934. According to journalist Jean Bosquet, Shufelt was digging in downtown Los Angeles in search of foundation. This ancient underground civilization.
Lizard people are said to have lived in an underground city for more than 5,000 years. They are very technologically advanced and have connections with the Mayans. After escaping the historic meteorite disaster, the Maya moved to live along the Pacific coast and here they came into contact with strange creatures that seemed to come from another planet. Stories about lizard people have always been told in Hopi mythology. They are highly intelligent people, possessing advanced technology.
Lizard man
Shufelt first heard about the city in an indigenous Hopi legend about the “lizard people”. They are an ancient race, nearly wiped out after a meteor shower hit the southwestern United States around 3000 BC – Arizona’s famous Winslow Crater is believed to be the site of the meteor shower. this meteor shower.
According to Hopi legend, the lizard people built 13 underground settlements along the Pacific coast to protect the tribe from future disasters. These underground cities are home to thousands of families, along with food reserves.
According to the story, a tribe of lizard people used a “chemical solution” that melted solid bedrock to drill tunnels and rooms for their underground shelter. In addition to sheltering people in the event of a disaster, the tunnels were also built to contain giant golden slabs that tell the story of the tribe, the origins of humanity, and the history of the world since was created.
In 1933, the Los Angeles Times published Shufelt’s journey to find treasure belonging to the lizard people and another newspaper, the Associated Press , spread this news throughout the United States. The underground city is said to be shaped like a lizard, stretching from Elysia Park to today’s Los Angeles Central Library.
The story of a Hopi native
An old Hopi Indian man, chief of “Little Green Leaf”, told Shufelt that the lizard people’s underground city center was below present-day downtown Los Angeles.
In 1933, after surveying the area, Shufelt purchased Banning’s vacant lot at 518 North Hill Street, where, he said, was located below the treasure room. Shufelt said he located the gold in the crypt below with the help of a “radio X-ray machine.”
This is a device he created himself to survey underground, find oil, gold and valuable resources, and helped Shufelt map the location and extent of underground tunnels. He said the underground city was shaped like a giant lizard, with its head near Chavez Ravine (the current location of Dodger Stadium) and its tail tapering below the Central Library.
Map detailing the extent of the underground city in Los Angeles. Published in the Los Angeles Times in the 1930s, Shufelt announced that he had found the exact location of an underground complex with an area of 1,765 square meters and 16 rooms where gold was hidden. Shufelt discovered structures beneath Fort Moore Hill in Los Angeles using his X-ray machine.
The “Room of Keys” , a room containing a map of the city and a catalog of gold tablets, was located below the current site of Times-Mirror Square . Shufelt also claimed that he followed passageways that extended to the area around the Museum of the Southwest and said that the ventilation tunnels extended westward, opening up to the Pacific Ocean.
Despite all the detailed maps and diagrams of the treasure-filled underground city, Shufelt never found it. At that time, newspapers speculated that these treasures were the gold that the Spaniards brought here when America was a colony. However, the deeper you go, the more difficult the excavation becomes because of the mud and dense rocks. Some experts say it would be necessary to dig about 300 meters deep, but Shufelt could only dig more than 70 meters and he still hasn’t found any tunnels or treasure.
After years of causing a stir in Los Angeles, Shufelt’s magical X-ray machine and detailed map of the lizard people’s underground city have disappeared without a trace, adding to the mystery of the whole thing. this strange set of stories. And over time, this incident was quickly forgotten.
