In a significant find, experts from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) have revealed an ancient Maya burial site. This discovery sheds light on a human sacrifice accompanied by the presence of a precious jade ring.
The unearthing of this find occurred while archaeologists were diligently excavating within the ancient Mayan city known as El Tigre, or Itzamkanac.
This city, with its intriguing moniker meaning “the place of the lizard serpent,” is located in the Mexican state of Cameche, adjacent to the Rio Candelaria.
The INAH reported in its official newsletter that the antiquity of these findings is estimated to be around 1,200 years.
Reporting at Mexico’s morning conference led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Diego Prieto Hernández, the head of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), shared details about this significant find.
