Denver International Airport (DEN) has been the subject of endless conspiracy theories since its construction, from rumors of underground labor camps (or bunkers or dwelling places for lizard people), to swastika-shaped runways, to (for some) bizarre murals, to the clearly evil blue horse sculpture at the entrance (“Blucifer” as the locals call it). (See https:\/\/goo.gl\/jBnR4z<\/a> for a good sprinkling of these, and more.)<\/p>\n

The airport, which is going through a major (and controversial) reconstruction of its main terminal, has decided to run with the joke by festooning its construction walls with posters that hint at … something<\/i> mysterious going on.<\/p>\n

Well done, DEN team. Well done.<\/p>\n
