brought upon his head the maledic-
ations of the united youth of the
human race of this day.

In Mexico, lived a race OF men VINO

their thoughts on stone or Clipped

yet inhabited by comparative savages.
First to Leave Records.
, So. in substance, declared Prof.
Byron Cummings, of the University
of Arizona, in an interview with
COSMOPOLITAN News Service today.
He has recently returned from
Mexico where an expedition led by
him uncovered ancient evidences
OF the Oldest civilization in the
world.
The world talks of the wonderful
pyramids of Egypt as the grandest
monuments an early race has left
to posterity OF dts achievements.
But in Mexico can be seen scores
OF temples and pyramids, one OF
which is larger than any in Egypt,
Professor Cummings declared.
The hill Of San Cuicuilio, near
Tlapam, Mexico, was only recently
Invested of a covering of lava and
underneath was found a temple said
to be 5000 years old. Hieroglyphics
in the temple as yet undeclphered.

first to leave its records behind.
Under Lava 2,OOO Years.
Two thousand years ago, Xitli, a
volcano, erupted and covered this
temple with lava. 1t had been un-
disturbed until Professor Cummings
began his excavations. The huge
structure is 400 feet in diameter at
the base, with top platform
measuring 290 feet in diameter.

of massive cone and pyramid build
