ARCHAEOLOGY: State of the Dead

And the serpent said unto the woman,
Ye shall not surely die:
Genesis 3:4
 

"When researchers grew concerned about underground anomalies

detected near the Mayan ruins of Palenque in Mexico, they began a dig to figure out whether the pyramid was in danger of collapse.
This week, researchers announced that what they found was no anomaly but rather a small canal system, reports the AP. They now think the tomb of the ancient ruler Pakal was built atop a natural spring about 700 AD, with tunnels that directed water to the esplanade in front of the temple in the hope of giving Pakal's spirit a way into the underworld.

In fact, an engraving at the site reads that the dead gain entrance to the underworld in such a manner via the god Chaac, who will "will guide the dead toward the

underworld by submerging [them]."

The site previously gained fame when author Erich von Daniken posited in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods? that Pakal looked like an astronaut at the helm of a spaceship on a carved stone sarcophagus.
But archaeologist Arnoldo Gonzalez says the dig has turned up "nothing to do with spaceships" and that the "flames" of the so-called spaceship engine in fact depict the Mayan "Tree of Life."
(Mayans may have had a "drought cult.")." yahoo

COMMENTARY:
1) "Tree of Life"? Hearkening back to stories carried away from Babel about the beginning?
2) Here we have an example rooted in echoing the 1st lie told--immortality of the Soul.
