Reuters gained exclusive access to the exhibit at the Mexican capital's Templo Mayor Museum before it opened. Most of the pieces on display were excavated from the ruins of the Aztecs' holiest shrine, now adjacent to the museum. "These are very fragile objects, very delicate," said exhibit curator Maria Barajas, standing next to a lineup of small carved masks. Most wooden artifacts quickly decompose and can only withstand the test of the time with constant temperature and moisture levels, Barajas said.

Archeologists believe Aztec priests carefully layered these offerings in the box within the elevated platform for a ceremony likely attended by thousands of rapt spectators amid the thunder-clap of drums. AZTEC WORLDVIEWTo date, no Aztec royal tomb has ever been found despite more than 40 years of digging around the Templo Mayor, where more than 200 offerings boxes have been found.

Turnul a fost descoperit în 2015 în timpul lucrărilor de restaurare a unei clădiri din capitala Mexicului. Experții cred că turnul face parte dintr-un templu destinat zeului aztec al Soarelui, războiului și sacrificiului uman. Cunoscut drept Huey Tzompantli, turnul plin de cranii era situat cândva într-un colț al paraclisului lui Huitzilopochtli, protectorul capitalei aztece Tenochtitlan. Una dintre cele mai impresionante descoperiri arheologice din MexicImperiul lor a fost înlăturat de către invadatorii conduși de conchistadorul Hernán Cortés, care a capturat Tenochtitlan în 1521. O structură similară celei din Huey Tzompantli a înspăimântat soldații care îl însoțeau pe conchistador atunci când au invadat orașul.
