2,000-year-old tomb in Mexico

Scientists have discovered a tomb containing 30 sets of remains and part of the remains of a 2,000-year-old pyramid east of Mexico.

The tomb was discovered in the town of Jaltipan, southeast of Veracruz. Here, researchers from the Mexican National Institute of History and Anthropology (INAH) find many figurines, pearls, mirrors and animal remains.

Archaeologists believe that those in the tomb were executed during the first century AD to 600 or 700 AD. The bones in the tomb will be excavated and studied by archaeologists to find out what they experienced when buried.

Archaeologist Alfredo Delgado, who works at INAH, said that scientists have discovered about 30 graves so far, at least the tomb contains two babies.

Along with many remains, the scientific team also found deer horns, dog bones, deer and fish. There is also evidence that residents in this area are fossils seeking fossils when scientists discovered many fossil teeth of the extinct megalodon shark tens of millions of years ago.

The artifacts of this area represent many cultures. Some figurines and bricks are found by the Mayans, while some other pottery comes from the ancient city of Teotihuacan. Alfredo Delgado said they will continue to study the specimens found to see if this place is a multicultural area.

The pyramids are found on a hill near the tomb, made of stone slabs and 12 meters high. According to the researchers, the Maya or Tajin-like pyramids.

The team also discovered bricks in the town of Jaltipan like in Comalcalco, a Mayan city 120 kilometers from Tabasco.
