Ancient Mexican Tomb Unearthed with Haunting Murals and Mysterious Carvings, Revealing Secrets of the ‘Cloud People’
Their culture reached its apex between the third and eighth centuries C.E. — during which time this tomb was constructed — but they were soon dominated by the Mixtecs. And finally, at the dawn of the 16th century, the Spanish arrived.
As such, the tomb found nestled in Oaxaca’s Central Valleys is a stunning remnant of what Zapotec culture was like before it was all but snuffed out by colonial conquest. Well-preserved, ornate, and full of symbolic imagery, it tells a fascinating story about the Zapotec civilization.
“This is an exceptional discovery due to its level of preservation and what it reveals about Zapotec culture: its social organization, its funerary rituals, and its worldview, preserved in its architecture and mural paintings,” said Mexico’s Secretary of Culture, Claudia Curiel de Icaza.
“It is a compelling example of Mexico’s ancient grandeur, which is now being researched, protected, and shared with society.”
After reading about the extremely well-preserved Zapotec tomb found in Mexico, discover the terrifying story of Mictlantecuhtli, the Aztec god of death. Then, go inside the chilling story of the Guanajuato Mummies, Mexico’s “screaming” corpses.
