Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Underfoot you feel layered history as walkways expose giant carved stones and a massive stone serpent head, giving a vivid sense of ritual life. Archaeologists have uncovered thousands of offerings, from vivid sculptures to sacrificial remains, revealing a metropolis that pulsed with ceremony and fierce politics.
Destaques: In 1978 construction workers unexpectedly unearthed the giant carved Coyolxauhqui disk, about 3.25 meters across and roughly eight tonnes, its fractured limbs still showing traces of red pigment and immediately revealing layers of ritual offerings beneath the street. Step into the museum's cool, dim rooms and you'll bend close to labels pointing out hundreds of tiny offerings: gold earspools no bigger than a thumb, miniature clay figurines stacked like pantry jars, and a rough greenstone mask that feels chalky under your fingertips.
