Sakwala Chakraya or the STARGATE of Ranmasu Uyana

Sakwala Chakraya, the “Universe Cycle” at Ranmasu Uyana, is a mysterious 6-foot circular rock carving. Often called a “Stargate,” this ancient chart features concentric rings and strange geometric symbols. While some view it as a map for interstellar travel, archaeologists suggest it is an early cosmographical map of the universe.

Hidden on the side of a boulder face at the Ran Masu Uyana (The Royal Goldfish Park), sandwiched between the Tissa Wewa and the Isurumuniya Rock Temple at Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka is a unique artifact of Ancient Sri Lanka which is locally known as “Bawa Chakraya” or the “Sakwala Chakraya.“

According to the description in the Archaeological Survey Report of HCP Bell in 1911, the center of the chakra is filled by a large circle comprising seven concentric rings, within a square of 1 ft 2 in., to which cross lines are drawn vertically and horizontally from the encircling hand, cutting the chakra into quadrants. Further, parallel lines divide the circles vertically into ten strips, or slices, varying in width from 3 inches to 9 inches but matching to the left and right of the central vertical line.

This circular petroglyph is 6 feet in diameter with strange symbols and has attracted historians and archaeologists, prehistoric investigators, and believers of extraterrestrials.

All strips but the outer two are bisected by the horizontal baseline and subdivided into dual or quadripartite partitions. The outermost strips, unbisected, contain a single small circle, quadrisected by cross lines, and a figure of phallic suggestion.

In each of the penultimate divisions, right and left, is a tiny circle in line with the horizontal bisection of the chakra, but nothing else. In the third pair are shown four more quadrisected circles, two and two, one in each of the upper and lower partitions left and right.

The fourth strip to the right contains four more such circles, bigger, and each in a separate partition. But that to the left has compressed its circles into a quadripartite panel below the horizontal baseline; leaving the upper panel free for four distinct diagrams—the second seven-ringed circle (differing only in size from its larger counterpart in the center of the chakra), beneath which are two umbrella-like emblems, and a pinnated three-forked figure—the whole intertwined by a fret.

Each of the eight divisions of the fifth strips, which meet as one broad band, above and below the concentric ringed circle on either side of the central vertical line of the chakra, holds one of the small circles with cross lines; the two left upper partitions also contain a square and a wavy diagonal line. Outside all these divisions is the 4-inch tier or band bounding the chakra.

Bell believes this petroglyph is the ancients’ understanding of the universe and considers this as a cosmographical chart of the universe or a “map of the worlds” as described in the ancient Buddhist texts. He also rightfully believes that this would be perhaps the oldest map in existence in the world.

The Anuradhapura kingdom was in existence from about 400 BCE to about 1000 CE, but some believe this artifact to be at least 5000 years old and connect it to the period of King Ravana.

Extraterrestrial theorists believe that this is a Stargate of an ancient lost civilization that travelled the world with this extraterrestrial invention. Other similar stargates have been found at a Puerta de Hayu Marka or The Gateway to The Gods, in Peru close to Lake Titicaca and at the Abu Sir Pyramid complex.

Irrespective of the origin of this artifact, it has amazed the world for hundreds of years and will continue to amaze the world for the next 100 years.
