- MEXICO CITY - Mexican archaeologists have excavated more sections of the Aztec “tower of skulls” in the heart of Mexico City and unearthed an additional 119 skulls, authorities announced on Dec. 11.
Since 2015 more than 600 skulls have been unearthed at the site, according to the National Institute of Anthropology and History.
Reuters reports that the tower was approximately 5 meters, or 16.4 feet, in diameter, and is thought to have been part of the Huey Tzompantli, a huge palisade of skulls that 16th century Spanish conquistadors claimed to have seen in the ancient city of Tenochtitlan.
The tzompantli sat in front of the Templo Mayor and was flanked by two towers of mortared skulls, in the middle of a temple complex that was the spiritual and political heart of the Aztec capital.
In a statement released by the National Institute of Anthropology and History, Mexican Culture Minister Alejandra Frausto described the tower as one of the country’s most impressive archaeological finds in recent years.

GRASIAS DIOSITO por acabar con ese imperio de satanás. Los europeos fueron tu brazo ejecutor de justisia y vengansa

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!!!!!
a normal skull holds a liter of water, in the elongated skulls a liter and a half. !! That's impossible.
Those Aztecs where shore very creative when it came to killing.
😨
geez i cant imagine why they're not still around
Maybe it was gold-hungry conquistadors who murdered everything to find their precious El Dorado?
@@TypicalUkraine_ Nice try, but native tribes hated the Aztecs and worked with the conquistadors. Turns out, having human sacrifices builds resentment.
You're wrong. The Mexica tribe was adored by their neighbors. They brought harmony and prosperity to the region. Please educate yourself before you spread more fake news.
neo nasis still out here trying to spread fake news. You do realize Paris had this too with their catacombs. The reason is because there was no room for expansion to build cemetries. Tenocthilan was built on an island lake so they didn't have much room to build cemeteries , they did something similar to what Paris did with their catacombs.
@@chibiromano5631 those bodies in the catacombs weren't sacrificed, dum dum
Look like they found someone
Great great Great granpa collection
The cartel has a condo made of double the amount of skulls
Sooo....it turns out the Spanish were in fact THE GOOD GUYS
What's life like sitting on a dry lake bed?
The city sort of sinks and floods. Oh also, it is a active seismic area.
Happy indigenous peoples day!
Pretty metal
The Spaniards saw this, destroyed everything. Everyone gets what’s coming to them eventually.
Exactly! The Spanish wrote about this and Modern People had the nerve to question it. Saying the Aztec were peaceful and innocent. No, the Spanish witness the Human Sacrifices, and knew right then and there they needed to Destroy the Aztec Empire.
The Spanish Saved the other Tribes from continued Kidnapping and Sacrifice. It's no wonder they intermarried, and became one people.
They knew the Spanish Saved them from the Brutal Aztecs.
Brought a Peaceful Religion of Christianity, to Replace the Blood Thirsty Aztec Gods.
Thank god for Guns Germs and Steel eh?
Paris catacombs had this too.
@@chibiromano5631 Are you implying that the French committed human sacrifices on a massive scale like the Aztecs?
@@Nutty151 no, saying that this resembled paris catacombs in that tenochtilan ran out of space to bury its dead. Tenochtilan is only the downtown district in Mexico City, it used to be surrounded by lakes, they were also surrounded by many other tribes like Azcapuzalco so rather than burn the dead complelty they would preserve skulls and put on display like the paris catacombs but catacombs are kept underground.
@@chibiromano5631 Yeah, but main difference is in how the people died.
@@Nutty151 napoelonic wars and line fires?
They found the pillar men!
Amazing
Mortal Kombat but with Spaniards.
You mean Aztecs. Spaniards were not savages
@Brand of Sacrifice The Spanish did horrible things sure, but they did it against orders of their superiors and many were punished by the Cortes after the fact. The Spanish Royal Court NEVER sanction any of the brutality the Conquistadors did. The Aztecs on the other had an entire culture of Death and Human Sacrifice.
“Spaniards” ??? 😂I know you’d wish it was them doing this right and not the Aztecs
Wow .....the Spanish Conquistadors must have been shocked when they saw all these skulls and the savage religion to terrorize other tribes.
Aztec ❌
Mexica ✔️
CAIN BLOODLINES COMMITTED THESE SICKENING ACTS !!
These weren't sickening, back then they genuinely thought this was their way of life, im sure if there was another way they would have done it but they were just following their gods orders, (im not an archeologist and neither was my dad but he read so much about Mexican cuz their our ancestors..).
And im pretty sure cains bloodlines didnt actually do this lol, its only known that the incans have done this so far...
@@moldiepeach7054 Aztec Empire > 1400s
Research The Tribe of Dan
Research 13th bloodline
Research Biblical Events
Connect the dots . . .
Everybody came from somewhere .
EXPAND YOUR THINKING !! 🙏
@@christendomdefenderbeready3251 times don't match, biblical records are much newer than mexican prehistoric records
Bonk skulls
That’s cute.
Now imagine communist aztecs.
Good comment
This narrator's tone is a bit light
Aztecs were also kicking the skulls arround so thats how football came about.
