Hundreds of Mayan artifacts have been found underwater in a Guatemalan lake, according to the Daily Mail.
Among the trove of relics were weaponry, like a stone mace head and an obsidian blade, which has led researchers to believe that the location of the finding could be where the last battle between the ancient tribesmen and the Spaniards took place.
It was not all that surprising that the artifacts were found in water. In fact, research team leader Magdalena Krzemień of Poland’s Jagiellonian University said that water held significant meaning to Mayans.
