Hugh Harleston, Jr. was an electronics technician in the U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1946, working in the operation and repair of radar, sonar, transmitters, receivers, teletype, and telephoto. He is an alumnus of Rice University, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in 1947 with postgraduate research studies of cooling tower ...
Mar 7, 2012 · In the 1970s Hugh Harleston Jr. mapped Teotihuacan and declared that after identifying a standard unit of measurement equal to 1.059 m, he had found that selected monuments at Teotihuacan formed a precise scale model of the universe, including Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

These remains, located about thirty miles (50 km) beyond Mexico City’s northern fringes, are unlike those of any other pre-hispanic metropolis in Mexico or Central America. Yes, there are ample pyramids here, just as there are in so many former Mayan and Aztec settlements, but in this place there is something very different, something very special....
Modern archaeologists are painstakingly recovering a certain kind of knowledge of Teotihuacán’s past in the bones, stones, pottery and middens left behind by time. Some, such as Linda Manzanilla, consider the city not to have been the product of one particular tribal culture or ethnic group, but rather a cosmopolitan metropolis comprising peoples f...
The Mesoamerican world view had involved a meticulous study of the heavens over many centuries, which determined the timing and nature of the rituals and ceremonies performed at Teotihuacán. Take, for instance, the orientation of the Pyramid of the Sun, which is set at an angle of 15.5° east of true north. During the first century CE the pyramid’s ...
This bold finding followed on from Harleston’s discovery that a standard unit of measurement of 41.711 inches (1.059 metres) had been used by the ancient Teotihuacanos. Of itself, this was hardly surprising, given that the metropolis displayed such a high degree of uniformity in its design, but Harleston claimed that this linear unit of measurement...
If Teotihuacán’s 19.4° N position on the planet is indeed not purely random, then we are freer to consider questions that lie beyond the ambit of more conventional studies of the site. Most obviously, these centre on the nature of this ‘energy’ and its possible connections with the ritual practices that were undertaken there. Clearly, although it m...
How did Teotihuacán’s architects, who seemingly did not know the use of metals or the wheel, come to possess such knowledge about our planet’s surface area? (We also need to remember here the linear units of measurement mentioned earlier that are proportionate the Earth’s polar dimensions, which betray a similar level of sophisticated knowledge). W...
2 John Major Jenkins notes that a four-fold division also features in Mesoamerican traditions that divided up the heavens. Significantly, the meeting point of these celestial divisions was where the ecliptic crosses the Milky Way in Gemini, providing a celestial marker for the mythological point of creation. (Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, p117). Teotihua...

Jun 26, 2020 · In the 1970’s, a civil engineer by the name of Hugh Harleston Jr. made some 9,000 measurements of Teotihuacan over a 30-year period. He concluded that the entire site was constructed according to a system of measurement he named the STU, Standard Teotihuacan Unit, which is equals 1.059 meters.
