Construction
work in eastern Mexico has unearthed the remains of a mysterious
pyramid, as well as 30 graves that could be around 2,000 years old.
The graves may indicate the site of an ancient settlement occupied
between the 1st century A.D. until 600 or 700 A.D. The skeletons were
buried with a number of interesting objects, including the bones of
dogs, birds, deer antlers and even what appear to be prehistoric
fossils.
The discovery in Jaltipan, a city in the state of
Veracruz, was announced by the National Anthropology and History
Institute on July 10.
"The discovery is very valuable, not only
because of the number of skeletons found, but because the fossils that
appeared, and that at some point were brought from the center of the
country, since in the region [where they were found] there are no
remains of this kind," Alfredo Delgado, a researcher with the institute,
said in a statement translated by The Huffington Post.
