In the Yuha Desert about 20 miles west of Calexico is the mysterious Yuha Church of the Sun. Everyone who drives Highway 98 between Calexico and Interstate 8 sees it, but no one seems to know the story behind it.

There are very few if any answers to be found online. The site has been around for decades, but questions are easier to come by than answers.

Was it built by a cult? Is it a religious site? Or does it mark the location of long lost temple that is only spoken about in legends? Today we are going to visit the site of the Yuha Church of the Sun, and unravel the mystery.
