Ancient Stingray Barbs Discovered in Mexico Reveal Shocking Maya Blood Ritual Secrets
The ongoing research into this and other questions is now being co-led by Arce Acosta and Luna Limón. Meanwhile, Mexico’s Secretary of Culture, Claudia Curiel de Icaza, emphasized that, even though the finds were initially made in 2021, further research will only continue to reveal the secrets of the past.
“Each find recovered during an archaeological salvage operation opens new questions about our past. These objects … provide evidence for understanding the ritual practices of these ancient societies,” Curiel de Icaza said. “This is the value of studying and preserving these materials: knowledge does not end with their recovery, but continues in laboratories and can yield results for years to come.”
