Professor claims to find clues to the location Mayan treasures

We are always amazed by the treasure hunting adventures as depicted in the movie Indiana Jones or National Treasure. But for Joachim Rittsteig, the real adventure was about to begin since he claims to have managed to find a clue that leads to the location of the Mayan treasure. He found clues in the Dresden Codex which has hundreds of years old.
It should be noted when Joachim was not a dreamer who watched too many movies adventure. He is a professor Emeritus at the University of Dresden who has studied the Mayan culture for 40 years. He is also the Mayan language expert and one of the research object is the Dresden Codex which contains the records of the Mayan culture.
Joachim believed that the Codex is hidden treasure trove of pure gold weighing 8 tons. Not only that, Joachim claim to know the location of the treasure hiding it, that is at the bottom of Lake Izabal.
Dresden Codex or Codex Dresdensis itself is one of four remaining major document of the Mayan culture. This document was first written by the Mayan priests in the year 1250 AD. This document has 74 pages with 74 different hieroglyps. If stretched, reached 3.56 meters in length. The experts believe that this document is the oldest document ever written in the Americas.
Dresden codex is written on paper made from fig tree trunks and written by eight authors who have a writing style that is different. Each of them also discussed different subjects.
There was discussion of the astronomical tables that contain Venus and Moon with amazing accuracy. Table months it has intervals that correlated with the eclipse. While the Venus tables that correlate with the movement of planets in the sky. Inside there is also an almanac, astrology chart, information about the seasons, floods, disease, treatment, religious references and advice on planting time.
In addition, the codex is also likely to be many people had predicted the destruction of the earth in 2012 because at the end is told about the sinking of the earth by water coming out of the mouth of the dragon. The first time this Codex is widely known to the public in 1739 when Johann Christian Gotze, director of the Royal Library in Dresden, bought from a private collector in Vienna, Austria. How the Codex was originally to be in Vienna is not known with certainty. But there is speculation that the Codex mentions that it might have been awarded by Hernando Cortes to Charles I, King of Spain at that time.
As we know, the Spanish conqueror Hernando Cortes was successfully controlled large parts of Mexico at the beginning of the 16th century, including the successful dilumpuhkannya Aztec empire in 1521.
Once obtained by Gotze, in the year 1744, the Codex was presented to the Royal Library in Dresden and then flaunt it for the first time in 1848. In World War II, the codex had suffered serious damage from bombing. Twelve pages damaged and other parts were destroyed. However, the ongoing restoration efforts managed to recover it so that it can be studied up to now. Who would have guessed, the document which originally only considered this historical fact contain clues about a very precious treasure.
"Dresden Codex has a clue that leads to eight tons of pure gold." said Joachim Rittsteig. With sponsored by the newspaper Bild from Germany, he has prepared an expedition to Lake Izabal, where he believed save these treasures. Joachim Rittsteig According Rittsteig, page 52 of these codices mention of a Mayan city named Atlan which was destroyed by an earthquake on October 30, 666 years before Christ. In this city, they keep the surface of gold bullion 2156 carved Mayan laws.
When the city was destroyed by an earthquake, follow the gold-gold sank into the lake Izabal in eastern Guatemala. Satellite image of Lake Izabal Rittsteig claims to have discovered the ruins of the city of Atlan with radar images taken in the area.
He estimates that if all the gold bullion worth about 290 million U.S. dollars. This is a very large number, even for today. If treasure is found, it is confirmed that the historical value would be far more valuable than material value.
Besides the issue of wealth, there is one thing more exciting than words Rittsteig. You may notice that the name of the Mayan cities that were destroyed by the earthquake was Atlan.
Remembered with something?
Yes, Atlantis also destroyed by the earthquake around the year 10,000 BC. Of course, what distinguishes the two cities is the destruction time span very far, almost 9,000 years.
If we can not find the mysterious Atlantis, maybe we can still find Atlan city full of bars of gold. And I think it will become something very interesting.
So, we look forward to hearing from you Prof. Rittsteig!
