In 1674, a priest published his account of visiting the ruins of the Zapotec city of Mitla, and in it he described a vast underground temple with four interconnected chambers, the last of which featured a stone door leading into a deep cavern. The Zapotec believed this to be the entrance to the underworld, known by them as Lyobaa ("place of rest"). Recently, an international team of archaeologists announced that they found this fabled underground labyrinth — right where the legends said it should be. Frobisher and Raven take a look at this archaeological expedition and discuss the Zapotec temple in connection to other similar underworld temples found elsewhere in classical antiquity. Would you unseal the entrance to Hades? ------------------------- Links: https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/archaeologists-may-have-found-ruins-of-fabled-entrance-to-zapotec-underworld/ https://classicalgreece.omeka.net/items/show/34 Clip originally aired on Strange Realm episode #19: https://rumble.com/v2z8gcm-strange-world-ep.-019-july-9th-2023.html
