Favonius Cornelius Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 By Gunther Hamm MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican archeologists have made the most significant Aztec find in decades, unearthing a 15th century altar and a huge stone slab at a ruined temple in the throbbing heart of Mexico City. The works were uncovered last weekend at the Aztec empire's main Templo Mayor temple, near the central Zocalo square, which was used for worship and human sacrifice. It was the most meaningful find since electricity workers stumbled upon an eight-tonne carving of an Aztec goddess at the same site in 1978.

docoflove1974 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 My brother is galavanting around down in Mexico and Central America. I just sent him this article; he's at various Mayan archeological sites, learning what he can, and this would be really cool for him to check out!

DecimusCaesar Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Thanks for the article FC, a really interesting find! Strange they never came across it when they were excevating the site in the 70s. Hopefully they will post pictures soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
