Chalcatzingo archaeological site, belonging to the Olmecs civilization,
the place of discovery of 2,800-year-old altars.

Archaeologists from the Institute of Anthropology and National History in Mexico discovered the cylindrical 2,800-year-old altar with a carved bowl in the middle of the excavation process to drain the water. Accumulated during the rainy season. The altar with a diameter of 1.3m with a thickness of 46cm is carved with a number of diagrams illustrating cloud and drops, alluding to fertility, a common representation in Morelos states.

The discovery was identified by the Chalcatzingo archaeological site, belonging to the Olmecs civilization. This finding partly sheds light on settlements that practice rituals.

"This discovery allows us to understand how they use their objects and how they manage to use them as part of the ritual. This may be a place of worship, or residential quarters for senior priests' .

In fact, one end of the deliberately carved monument can be interpreted as a "dead ritual" of the monument. Archaeologists are trying to find the original floors for stagnant drainage accumulated during the rainy season, in the process of developing an appropriate conservation project for this newly discovered monument.
