Denver Airport: The Symbology Hidden in One of the Most ‘Sinister’ and ‘Disturbing’ Places on the Planet

Will Denver International Airport be one of the essential Illuminati sanctuaries in the world?

Will its murals reveal the prophecies of what they have planned for the world?

What messages are hidden in the time capsule under the Masonic plaque?

Denver International Airport is 20 to 40 minutes (by car) from downtown Denver, has the longest runway in the United States, and is about twice as big as Manhattan.

It has 133 gates to serve 54 million passengers a year.

Over the years, since its opening in 1995, all kinds of conspiracy theories have arisen about its design, construction,

And even the artwork it displays.

Some of the theories are crazier than others:

from the influence of secret societies to signs of the Apocalypse hidden in its facilities.

They have spread so widely that the airport’s advertising and public relations department has created entire campaigns around the mystery.

Here are the main theories.

A remodeling for history

Wellington Webb, who was then governor of Colorado, commissioned a renovation of approximately $5.2 billion.

The work got inaugurated on October 29, 1993, took three years,

And it faced protests from citizens who considered it a bad investment.

After a two-year delay, Denver residents finally received their new airport on February 28, 1995, with several mysterious and frightening details that no one can yet explain.

The symbol of Nazism

This airport is an obligatory reference for lovers of conspiracy theories, and no wonder.

If we start describing DIA from the outside, the first thing we will notice -probably one of the most disturbing things- is that it got shaped like a swastika seen from the air.

Nowadays, the use of the swastika outside of a historical context is considered taboo almost everywhere in the world, to the point of being sanctioned in several countries, so it is strange that in a western country, the culture we find such a controversial symbol at random.

Telegraph newspaper in the UK interviewed Jenny Schiavone, a representative of the airport’s media team.

“The runways are designed to be used simultaneously, regardless of weather conditions, as no runway overlaps. We also think it looks more like a windmill than a swastika,” Schiavone said.

That is an aerial view of Denver International Airport.

Apocalypse Horse

Once you arrive at the airport, the most noticeable sight is the statue of a giant red-eyed apocalypse horse welcoming passengers at DIA’s main entrance.

Truly a 10-meter high horse with highlighted veins and devilish eyes that glow at night is something hard to ignore, even more if we take into account the chilling story behind this piece: when they were finishing sculpting it, one of the statue’s front legs came off killing its creator, Luis Jimenez, by cutting an artery.

Blue Mustang, popularly known as ‘Blucifer’ by Luis Jimenez.

Shrine of the Masons

Inside DIA, the situation does not improve; located in the principal area of the airport is a Masonic plaque.

For those unfamiliar with Freemasonry, it is an institution of philosophical, selective, hierarchical, and discreet origin,

It got founded in terms of fraternity with the principal objective: the search for truth.

They believe in the Great Architect of the Universe (GADU).

That is a rather broad concept of divinity that encompasses all conceptions of God.

There are countless conspiracy theories and myths about Freemasonry that got fed by the secrecy of its members.

They are known as the right hand of the Illuminati.

It is a Masonic plaque in the Great Hall of the DIA.

On the Masonic plaque of the airport is the main symbol of this institution, made up of a square and a compass (symbolizing virtue and the limits that members must maintain concerning others, respectively), surrounded by several inscriptions in which we can read the names of two subjects identified as “Grand Master” -a title given to the principal spokespersons of the Masons’ lodges-.

We can also appreciate a legend that dictates “New World Airport Commission” surrounded by Braille inscriptions that speak of the New World Order,

The conspiracy theory refers to a new period in history that intends to drastically change the balance of power and political ideologies by imposing a single government.

Beneath the Masonic granite plaque is a time capsule, indicating that it is to be opened in the year 2094 and containing messages for Coloradans.

Prophetic murals

It is undeniable that each artist has his perspective and that what he tries to capture in his art is not always what we mere mortals will interpret.

Proof of this is the large murals at Denver International Airport painted by Leo Tanguma,

Although for him, telling a story of how peace triumphs over all evil to the general public could arouse uneasiness, anguish, and anxiety.

And no wonder these disturbing works of art show chaos, death, violence, and grief.

“Peace and harmony with nature” by Leo Tanguma.

One of the murals, although titled Peace and Harmony with Nature, shows a group of children with uneasy expressions surrounding animals,

Some of which got placed inside glass cases and dead children in coffins.

In the background of the mural, we can see a forest and a city burning in flames, and the more detailed ones affirm that one of the girls in the mural holds a Mayan stela that represents the end of the world.

In another mural, we can see a Nazi military officer wearing a gas mask and killing a white pigeon with a saber while holding a rifle in his other hand.

Below the Nazi officer, we can see children crying on piles of bricks and a row of mothers wailing with their dead newborn babies in their arms.

As if this were not disturbing enough, in the lower right corner is a letter written by Harma Herchenberg, a 14-year-old teenager who died in 1943 at Auschwitz, which reads:

“I was once a child who longed for other worlds, but I have known fear. I have learned to hate the tragic, but this is youth living with enemies. However, I still believe that today I will only sleep and wake up as a child again.” Harma Herchenberg. Excerpt from the letter she wrote in 1943 before her death.

In a third mural, entitled (“Children of the world dream of peace”), a large group of children wearing folkloric costumes from different countries got seen handing weapons wrapped in flags to a child in the center of the painting dressed in a typical German costume.

Experts in conspiracy theories indicate that this only reaffirms the implementation of the New World Order since the concept of “all united for one person” is what this doctrine proposes…

And the fact that the child receiving the weapons is of German origin only further fuels this claim since the Illuminati was born in Bavaria, Germany.

The gargoyles

For many travelers, the gargoyles located in the baggage claim area are disturbing.

They have got seen as demons or evil presences.

It is an art installation called Notre Denver, inspired by the Notre Dame Cathedral and created by the American Terry Allen.

According to the author, his gargoyles got intended to look like protectors.

Secret bunkers

It got said that in the subway system for transporting luggage, there is a set of bunkers designed to house world leaders

and millionaires in an apocalypse.

The wildest versions of the story involve aliens and reptilians.

Suspicions arose in the 90s because the airport exceeded its initial budget, there were delays in construction,

And the fact that there was already a previous terminal, which was already in operation;

However, compared to airports such as Hong Kong and Dubai, the cost of the work was not exorbitant, according to The Sun.

And yes, there is a two-kilometer-long tunnel system, but approximately 1,000 people work on it every day.

When it was built, more than one hundred million cubic yards of earth got removed,

That far exceeds the largest airports in the world.

This fact suggests that under the DIA, there is a gigantic construction to which no one has access; the only thing they have confirmed is that there are several tunnels that “were designed” to transport cargo,

However, they are in disuse because, since their construction, they alleged that they were defective.

The truth is that no one has a complete plan of the airport,

Its whereabouts are a mystery.

Most conspiracy theories about this airport claim that there are up to eight floors below DIA that got used for completely dark purposes,

It is a presumed Illuminati sanctuary, which would explain all the symbolism and hidden messages found in the place.

It got noted that Denver International Airport has been awarded Best Airport in North America by Business Traveler for six consecutive years (2005–2010) and Best in Operations in the United States by Time magazine in 2002.
