Archaeologists, after strong earthquakes last year, looking for damage in the Aztec ritual complex in Cuernavaca (Morelos, Mexico), found an even more ancient temple, reports BBC. The temple, measuring 6 by 4 meters, was inside the pyramid Theopansolko, which is located 70 km south of Mexico City. Archaeologists date it to the year 1150 and refer to the culture of the Tlauwika. The sanctuary is dedicated to Tlaloc - the Aztec god of rain.
Among the found temple utensils - an incense burner and pottery vessels. The discovery was made by scientists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico. Archaeologists used radar to detect structural damage to the pyramid. The pyramid Theopansolko refers to the XIII century. For the Aztec people, the Tlauic, who at that time occupied the central part of Mexico, it was typical to build new temple structures over the old ones. Source: Around the world. Ukraine.
