Mexican archaeologists said Monday they have found a cave at the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza with offerings of about 200 ceramic vessels in nearly untouched condition.
The National Institute of Anthropology and History said the vessels appear to date back to around A.D. 1000 and contain bone fragments and burnt offering materials that are being analyzed.
Archaeologist Guillermo de Anda said exploration of the cave began in 2018 after local Maya residents told experts about it.
It turned out the cave had been discovered, but not explored, by locals about 50 years earlier. They told an archaeologist about . . .
