Extract

Since early 1978, the Proyecto Templo Mayor of the INAH has recovered part of one of the most prominent ceremonial complexes of the Mesoamerican world: the Sacred Precinct of Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Some of the most outstanding discoveries include the remains of 15 structures (almost all with various sub-structures), 117 rich offerings with more than 8,000 elements, along with a large number of sizable sculptures, bas-reliefs, mural paintings and ceramic fragments.
