Sri Lanka\u2019s Sacred City of Anuradhapura is an unlikely place to be enmeshed in a fantastic tale of UFOs and otherworldly happenings. Locally known as Rajarata (Land of Kings), the UNESCO World Heritage Site was the first established kingdom on the island (in 377 BC) and is at the heart of Sri Lanka\u2019s Buddhist culture. Today, it is one of the nation\u2019s most visited places, attracting devoted pilgrims from around the country to its ancient Buddhist temples and giant dome-shaped stupas.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this holy city is also home to something far more curious. Here, in Ranmasu Uyana (Golden Fish Park), a 40-acre ancient urban park surrounded by three Buddhist temples, is a chart that is alleged to be a map to unlock the secrets of the universe.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Measuring around 1.8m in diameter, Sakwala Chakraya (which translates to \u201cUniverse Cycle\u201d in Sinhalese) is shallowly carved onto a low rock face among the protected park ruins. Its front facade can only be seen from ground level. In fact, four seats have been sculpted into a flat rock surface opposite that provide the ideal viewing area. Both the map and seats, which are also of mysterious origin, have puzzled historians, archaeologists and academics for more than a century.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRanmasu Uyana was used for a prolonged period in history,\u201d said Professor Raj Somadeva, Senior Professor of Archaeology at the Kelaniya University. \u201cThe second major developmental phase seems to have begun in the Seventh Century CE. During that period, several new buildings were added to the earlier garden layout. The chart could be a work of this period, but it is impossible to know because its existence, function or anything related to it is not mentioned in any historic records, which were meticulously kept by Buddhist monks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While little is known about the chart and its purpose, the iconography is incompatible with other carvings of the Anuradhapura period (3rd\u201310th Century AD). The chart\u2019s centre is made up of seven concentric circles divided by parallel vertical and horizontal lines. Rectangular compartments contain small, crossed circles. To the untrained eye, there are figures resembling umbrellas or bow and arrows, a kite, wavy lines and cylindrical shapes. An outer ring depicts marine animals: fish, turtles and seahorses.<\/span><\/p>\n

When compared to other carvings from the same period such as the Sandakada Pahana (moonstone), which depicts vines, swans and a lotus, all typical of Buddhist iconography, the chart is without religious context, leaving it without an obvious explanation as to why it is here.<\/span><\/p>\n

This has left it wide open to online speculation. Before the dawn of the internet, the chart garnered little attention in Sri Lanka. It is thought to have survived here, tucked away at the edge of a boulder, after the fall of the Anuradhapura Kingdom; unremarkable in comparison to its breath-taking surroundings complete with twin ponds and bathing pavilions believed to have been used by kings. In fact, if aliens did arrive on Earth through here, they couldn\u2019t have picked a nicer place \u2013 these sacred temple grounds, cloaked in thick, tropical jungle, are mostly uninhabited and protected by the authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first academic to note the chart\u2019s archaeological importance was H.C.P. Bell, a British civil servant appointed as the first Commissioner of Archaeology of Ceylon (Sri Lanka\u2019s former name). Bell included a description of the chart in his 1911 report for the Governor of Ceylon, where he concluded that, \u201cThis ancient \u2018map of the world\u2019, perhaps the oldest in existence, is of quite extraordinary interest. Its presence\u2026 testifies to the antiquity of that astronomical lore still pursued in some of the Buddhist monasteries of Ceylon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While the chart does not resemble a map in a modern sense, Bell wrote that it depicts \u201can old-time cosmographical chart illustrating in naivest simplicity the Buddhistic notions of the universe\u201d. He interpreted the circles, the symbols and marine life on the chart, based on his knowledge of Buddhism on the island, to mean the Earth, the Seas, Outer Space and the Universe.<\/span><\/p>\n

While discussions around the chart for many years were mainly confined within academic circles due to its historically important location, the explosion of photo-sharing on social media over the last few years has shone a global spotlight on the mystery. Eagle-eyed tourists have remarked on parallels between the chart in Anuradhapura and similar sites in other countries that are believed by some to be stargates \u2013 ancient gateways through which humans could enter the universe. Their theory goes that the chart holds the secret code for unlocking the portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conspiracy theorists noted that the stargate of Anuradhapura had near-identical shapes and symbols to those found at Abu Ghurab in Egypt and La Puerta de Hayu Marka in Peru. The most striking similarity, it was said, as speculation around Sri Lanka\u2019s stargate reached its peak, is its proximity to water. The nearby Tissa Weva reservoir, built in 300 BC, has been thrown around as conclusive evidence, since both Abu Ghurab and La Puerta de Hayu Marka were also built near water, which, according to the stargate theory, allowed extra-terrestrial beings to process gold from Earth\u2019s water.<\/span><\/p>\n

This otherworldly theory has been further fuelled by the chart\u2019s proximity to Danigala Mountain, also known as Alien Mountain, in the nearby sacred city of Polonnaruwa. Danigala, which lies deep in the jungle and is popular with hikers, has a unique circular shape and an entirely flat top. This led internet sleuths to conclude that it must have, at one time, been used for UFO landings. Strangely, according to Sri Abeywickrama, a local tour guide, \u201cvillagers in the area do believe that the Alien Mountain attracts more shooting stars and thunder and lightning above it than anywhere else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, according to Somadeva, \u201cThere is little archaeologically to suggest that it is a stargate.\u201d Instead, Somadeva believes a more sensible conclusion is that the chart is an early map of the world, as suggested by Bell, because that explanation has religious and cosmological context that is logical, given the period and place in time.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Somadeva, \u201cAt least since 250 BCE, Sri Lankans had a clear idea of objects in the sky and outer space. In early Brahmi inscriptions, found in Sri Lanka, there are a number of names that refer to specific stars and concepts related to astronomy. One of the inscriptions in Kirinda, a religious and historic site on Sri Lanka\u2019s Southern coast, contains the phrase \u2018aparimita loka datuya\u2019 meaning \u2018the infinite universe\u2019. What it suggests is that the person who engraved it had a very good understanding of the nature of the universe they lived in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Shereen Almendra, senior lecturer of landscape design at the Moratuwa University, offers a different, more earthly perspective. \u201cI think the Sakwala Chakraya chart is a plan for a complex project similar to the enormous stupas that were being built at the time,\u201d she said. \u201cI lean towards it being a plan for the Sigiriya rock.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sigiriya is one of Sri Lanka\u2019s most recognised ancient landmarks, a Fifth Century BC rock fortress, complete with flowing water, landscaped gardens and multiple living quarters. It lies just half an hour away from Anuradhapura within Sri Lanka\u2019s Cultural Triangle, which is made up of three important ancient cities: Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Kandy. \u201cGiven that the three seats carved in front of the chart appear to slightly face toward each other, it makes me think that it was a place for discussion \u2013 an ancient architect\u2019s office if you like,\u201d she said. \u201cIf the seats were built for a religious purpose, such as meditation, they would be in a straight line instead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Somadeva, the greatest challenge in identifying the function of the chart has been the lack of evidence to correctly date it. While Ranmasu Uyana and other parks and stupas in Anuradhapura are mentioned in chronicles and inscriptions dating as far back as 250 BC, the Sakwala Chakraya is not described in any historical records. \u201cThere would definitely have been a practical use for this diagram but it is a huge challenge to figure out what that might have been when we cannot correctly date it,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

So it seems that Sri Lanka\u2019s enigmatic alleged stargate remains shrouded in mystery, its purpose and meaning still lost to time. The chart\u2019s newly acquired cult status amongst sci-fi enthusiasts, however, has finally given it some well-deserved public attention. Thanks to their enthusiasm and the power of social media, it has finally stepped out of the shadow of larger-than-life Anuradhapura to stand apart on its own. (BBC)<\/span><\/p>\n
