Mexico History
Is History in Mexico a focus of study among the locals or do they remain ignorant about the past?
Human bones in south Mexico: Stalagmite reveals their age as 13,000 years old. A prehistoric human skeleton found on the Yucatán Peninsula is at least 13,000 years old and most likely dates from a glacial period at the end of the most recent ice age, the late Pleistocene. A German-Mexican team of researchers has now dated the fossil skeleton based on a stalagmite that grew on the hip bone. Source 7y.
Nearly 500 ancient ceremonial sites found in southern Mexico. A team of international researchers reported last year that they had uncovered the largest and oldest Maya monument -- Aguada Fénix. That same team has now uncovered nearly 500 smaller ceremonial complexes that are similar in shape and features to Aguada Fénix. The find transforms previous understanding of Mesoamerican civilization origins and the relationship between the Olmec and the Maya people. Source 8v.
