3D ModelNoAI

These were found beneath the temple of the Aztecs, Temple De Mayor in the heart of Mexico City. From 1978 to 1982, specialists worked on the project to excavate the Temple.[5] Initial excavations found that many of the artifacts were in good enough condition to study.[8] Efforts coalesced into the Templo Mayor Project, which was authorized by presidential decree.[9]

To excavate, 13 buildings in this area had to be demolished. During excavations, more than 7,000 objects were found, mostly offerings including effigies, clay pots in the image of Tlaloc, skeletons of turtles, frogs, crocodiles, and fish, snail shells, coral, some gold, alabaster, Mixtec figurines, ceramic urns from Veracruz, masks from what is now Guerrero state, copper rattles, decorated skulls and knives of obsidian and flint.
