Now, why are these two scientific discoveries important? Well, in the case of the Chicxulub Crater, this impact deposited a layer of soot that could be used to date Monte Alban back to the time of the dinosaurs. When Alfonso Caso began his excavations in 1931 he knew nothing of this layer and if he found it would not have recognized it. His excavations may have destroyed the evidence of the great age of this lost city. * +

Plate tectonics explains Monte Albans north-south orientation, its height above sea level, and its location. It is how we can date this city. Let us take a closer look. Mexico was at one time part of the west coast of North America. Mexico moved downward in a southeasterly direction until it arrived where it is today. This movement combined with the counter-clock wise rotation of the North American plate actually turned Monte Albans orientation around so that it now runs north to south * +

Its original orientation was east to west facing the rising sun. This movement required about 85 million years to accomplish. We have just dated Monte Alban. * +

Mexico, 85 million years ago was not attached to the Yucatan and terminated as a small peninsula. Monte Alban was at the southern end of this peninsula. As Mexico moved to the southeast, it interacted with the Cohortis Plate and some of that plate moved under Mexico, a process called subduction. As the Cohortis Plate became subducted Mexico became uplifted * +

Monte Alban was raise up to its current height as a result of this subduction. It was not originally built at 6,400 feet but over a period of 85 million years was raised to this height by various geological processes. * +

All evidence that it really is that old. Fantastic stuff. * +
