Скачать или смотреть Blood in the Foundations: Human Sacrifice in Architecture

Dive into the chilling urban legend that whispers beneath Mexico's most iconic structures: the belief that great buildings require human sacrifice to stand eternally. This documentary begins with a gripping anecdote from a construction site, where a dark prank brings the ancient fear of being 'built into the foundation' to life for a young worker. We then turn our gaze to the legendary Azteca Stadium, known as 'The Colossus of Santa Úrsula.' This architectural marvel has defied catastrophic earthquakes, including the devastating 1985 and 2017 tremors, emerging virtually unscathed time and again. For many, its extraordinary resilience fuels the persistent myth of sacrifices made during its 1960s construction. Was it a dark pact, or simply a testament to groundbreaking engineering by ICA and architect Ramírez Vázquez? Join us as we explore the historical roots of this unsettling belief, the incredible structural integrity of the Azteca, and separate fact from the haunting folklore that continues to grip Mexico.
