(N.Morgan) A historical discovery was made at south of La Maná, Ecuador on November 17, 2013 while exploring low mountains along the Calope River. The ruins of a ancient temple had been partially exposed by the dynamite of road workers and the erosive action of water, uncovering large sections of basalt foundations along two sides of a structure exceeding 70m in height. The beautiful pyramid is a wonder to behold.

The La Maná region has drawn attention for decades after the Head of the Ecuadorian Ministry of Mines Dr. E. Guillermo Sotomayor (1918-2009) made the surprise discovery of a cache of hundreds of ancient relics that included dozens of magnetic stone artifactswith inlaid designs that fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Sotomayor’s years of research concerning a set of 13 magnetic stone cups led him to recognize the astonishing purity and curative effects of the springwaters of these mystical mountains.
