MYSTERIOUS: The Pyramid of the Moon and, inset, the goddess Teotihuacán it was built for


A computer scan of the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacán, Mexico, revealed it was hiding a secret tunnel 33ft underground.

The structure, the second largest pyramid in the ancient city, was built for the goddess of fertility and creation.

But the tunnel, which remains unopened, reveals the pyramid had a lost link to death and the underworld.
