The Aztec Triangle Mystery.


Sometime around the turn of the last century a grand old house situated at the top of an unnatural mound was in the process of being renovated.  A work crew uncovered a hidden room when tearing through the basement wall.  The room only had three walls, made entirely of  Acasta Gneiss; and on those walls, three portraits;  and over those portraits hung three masks;  and in the middle, a miniature Aztec temple.  It's a curious finding to be sure.  I have paired each portrait with the mask that was found over it,  The Aztec temple the last image.  Make of it what you will.
