Meet Tlaloque I, Mexico’s High Tech Archeologist Exploring 2000 Year Old Tunnels in Teotihuacán
Tlaloque 1 is only 12 by 20 inches and 8 in height. It could be Pixar Wall-e’s little brother, with its 4x4 traction and 2 remote-controlled camcorders that are able to do 360 degree turns; one at the front and the other at the back.

In an exceptional breakthrough at the famed Teotihuacan ruins in México, this nifty gizmo has discovered a 2000 year old tunnel under an ancient temple; with a perfectly carved arch roof and intact structure, the tunnel appears stable enough to enter, archaeologists of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) announced Wednesday.

1. How wonderful seeing this article.
Hope only the safest possible passage for the little sojourner, Tlaloque I.

What a stupendous way to answer the early questions while creating the very slightest disturbance to an amazing discovery.

The people on the site must be exploding with excitement in this project at one of the most awe-inspiring places on earth.
