With the unearthing of an altar and a monolith in the busy heart of Mexico City, Mexican archeologists have found what may be the most significant Aztec ruin in decades. The 15th-century altar, part of the Aztec empire’s main temple, was uncovered last weekend near the city’s main Zocalo square along with a 3.5-meter stone slab, most of which is still buried under earth. The altar has a frieze of the rain god Tlaloc and other figures related to an agricultural rite. Archeologists are still unearthing the monolith which they think might be part of an entrance to an underground chamber.
