Mexico’s famed archeological site, Teotihuacán, is ready to speak to alien life forms, and will do so by sending a message into space with the help of web company Yahoo! and their “time capsule” project:

Starting on Tuesday, whomever is interested can send text, images, video or sounds that reflect humanity to be included in the message.

These contributions — part of Yahoo!’s “Time Capsule” project will be digitized and shot into space through a laser on October 25 from the Pyramid of the Sun.

Sounds like a huge PR stunt for Yahoo!, which capitalizes on the “exotic” image of the pyramids and the public’s endless fascination with aliens. If anything, I hope Yahoo! is paying the INAH something for this.
