The Mystery of the Alch Civilization

In 1938, archaeologist Matthew Sterling excavated an ancient site in Mexico, uncovering artifacts from the Alch civilization, a lost Mesoamerican culture. Among the finds were 17 colossal heads carved from Basalt, sparking theories about their origins and the Alch's disappearance. The heads' features suggest possible transpacific or transatlantic migrations, though mainstream historians remain skeptical. The Alch left no skeletons, only scattered remains and sculptures. Notably, some statues exhibit magnetism, leading to theories about their use of magnetic properties, including the possibility of moving large stones through magnetic levitation.
