'Tower Of Skulls' Found In Mexico

Archaeologists have found around 650 skulls, mostly of women and children, and caked in lime and thousands of fragments in the cylindrical edifice, near the site of the Templo Mayor - one of the main temples in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan (currently known as Mexico City). As expected, the development has sparked few questions over the culture of sacrifice of the Aztec civilisation.
