The Mysterious Furnaces of San Lorenzo

I visited San Lorenzo de Texmelucan, a small town in Mexico, where I discovered an interesting historical site - the Mysterious Furnaces of San Lorenzo. These furnaces are thought to have been built by local artisans during the colonial period of Mexico, around the 18th century. The locals believe that they were used to produce weapons for the Mexican revolution. However, no one really knows what was made in these furnaces as they were kept secret from the Spanish conquerors and their whereabouts were forgotten over time. The furnaces were rediscovered in 1970 when a group of workers stumbled upon them while digging a trench for a pipeline. The furnaces are made of clay and brick and are located in a remote area, surrounded by hills and vegetation. According to historians, the furnaces were built to mimic the shape and size of traditional bread ovens. However, the locals believe that they have mystical powers and that they were used for rituals to communicate with the gods. I find this place intriguing as it is shrouded in mystery and folklore. I compare this place with El Tajin, where I also discovered ancient ruins with mythical connotations.
