12 Dec The Lizard People who Lived under LA
Hopi Indian legend told of Snake Brothers who built and occupied underground cities in what are now California, Arizona, Mexico and Central America. These people and settlements were believed to have vanished five thousand years ago.
In 1934, an article was published in the Los Angeles Times that one of the Hopi lost cities was believed to be underneath downtown LA. This settlement was believed to be in the shape of a lizard: the head by Dodger Stadium and the tail beneath the Central Library. Warren Shufelt, a mining engineer, was so sure the remains of the city would be found that he was ready to dig up the downtown financial district. His research was actually authorized by the City Council, but later dropped.
The subterranean city was believed to house not only thousands of families, but also golden tablets with occult knowledge of the origin of humanity.
Shufelt never found the Lizard City despite his extensive mapping. Mysterious tunnels have been unearthed in downtown LA, but they’ve usually been seen as the work of smugglers and other ne’er-do-wells.
