Aztec temple ruins discovered in Mexico City

Aztec temple ruins discovered in Mexico City

The remains of an Aztec temple built in the late 1400s have been found in downtown Mexico City.

Along with it, archaeologists unearthed the remains of 32 men who were sacrificed during ceremonial games at the site.

The discovery offers a greater understanding of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire more than five centuries ago.

Al Jazeera's John Holman reports from Mexico City.

Colonists destroyed really priceless relics. Its a shame

The Portuguese destroyed our ancient city and reused its rubble to construct their fort on the same ground. Must be a weird fetish for these historical conquerors

It's not really a discovery. We all know Mexico City is built on top of the great Aztec city.

We still have MEXICA blood in our veins, ,and I'm proud about it..!

[capitanguzman]

They buried our temples, imposed religion and language. But they NEVER subjugated our identity, our flag is proof of that. You can ask any Mexican, we are PROUD of our Aztec (correct name would be Mexica) ancestors and we honor heritage. By the way, Mexico's correct nahua name is pronounced Meshico.

Nice to see Ehecatl temple again after 500 years also part of sacred ballcourt.

the mexico government should recreate the temple of tenochtitlan, it's a shame the colonial building still stands majestically even though the building is made of temple ruins

In Hinduism, the Ancient pre Vedic God of War, Wind, Thunder and Rain is one God - Lord Indra. He is also God of the Two Worlds, Heaven and Earth, and rules over the city of God and his Angels in Heaven. There is increasing evidence of Hindu practices in Aztec and Mayan cultures.

Hips and thighs but no knees? I think they used their knees to play that game.

Demolish the Churches and the more Sophisticated civilisation of the Aztecs should be honoured

[theunknowngamer]

Is the Qatari government producing any videos about the destruction of historic sites in the Middle East?

Mestizos are not full blood pure Native American Aztecs or Mayans. We pure Mongoloid Native Americans do not recognize you as Native Americans and never will recognize you as Native Americans. Will you mixed race Mestizos quit pretending you are Aztecs and Mayans when you are not it is disrespectful, immature and annoying.
