THEY DISCOVERED AN UNDERGROUND REPTILIAN CITY IN LOS ANGELES.
In the 1920s, inventor and mining engineer George Warren Shufelt moved to Los Angeles motivated by a new story. He claimed that one of his ground penetration devices (called GPR) allowed him to discover an extensive network of tunnels and settlements beneath the city. Shufelt identified several specific areas of Los Angeles as part of this underground network, which he described as a “giant lizard.”
The supposed underground city stretched across much of Los Angeles and was related to an ancient legend Shufelt had heard from a Hopi native named Greenleaf. Legend has it that three thousand years ago, a group of Native Americans known as the Lizard People built underground tunnels to prepare for an imminent cataclysm, imagined as a great tongue of fire that would consume the earth. In this labyrinth of tunnels and underground chambers, they buried records of human history in enormous gold tablets.
The Lizard People were said to have built thirteen underground settlements, each capable of housing a thousand families, as well as storing food reserves. To drill the tunnels, they supposedly used a now-lost chemical solution, a kind of mysterious liquid that melted the rock, leaving it polished and smooth.
The predicted disaster did indeed occur, with firestorms and a large fire destroying part of the cities. Although the Lizard People survived this cosmic disaster, their bunkers were unable to protect them from the leaked toxic gases, ultimately causing their extinction.
Motivated by his Hopi friend’s story, Warren Shufelt convinced Los Angeles authorities to excavate the underground city. However, several obstacles prevented his project from moving forward.
