Archeologists have discovered more than 650 skulls covered in lime and a huge number of pieces in the barrel shaped structure close to the site of the Templo Mayor, one of the fundamental sanctuaries in the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, which later progressed toward becoming Mexico City.
The pinnacle is accepted to shape some portion of the Huey Tzompantli, an enormous cluster of skulls that struck dread into the Spanish conquistadores when they caught the city under Hernan Cortes. The structure was said in contemporary records.
History specialists relate how the disjoined heads of caught warriors decorated tzompantli, or skull racks, found in various Mesoamerican societies previously the Spanish victory. In any case, the archeological dive in the insides of old Mexico City that started in 2015 recommends that photo was not finished.
