What’s in there?

Archaeologists found a hidden tunnel in 2013 and they just found something even cooler inside it.  South and Central American archaeology was popularized by the intro to the Indiana Jones movie in the 1980s.  Now, in one of the most well known temple regions, there is something that has perplexed archaeologists for hundreds of years that might be answered:

In the heart of modern-day Mexico City lies the great Aztec temple known as the Templo Mayor, which once served as the sacred center of the Pre-Columbian empire’s capital city of Tenochtitlán. With the recent discovery of a ceremonial platform and two sealed chambers beneath the famous landmark, archeologists believe they may have the chance to unravel a mystery that has baffled them for centuries, by finally revealing the tombs of some of the great Aztec kings.

Here is a bit more information on what to expect.  What you might read is kind of creepy and brutal but it was reality for these civilizations:

By continuing their exploration of a hidden tunnel that was discovered in 2013, researchers have now uncovered a passageway leading to a circular structure which resembles a Cuauhxicalco – a ritual space which, according to ancient reports, was used to burn the corpses of Aztec rulers. This was accompanied by two sealed doorways, which archeologists speculate could guard the burial chambers of these sovereigns.
