Tomb discovered in the archaeological site of Bonampak

 

While completing the restoration work and analysis of the pictograms of the building of Structure 1 of the Bonampak archaeological site, a pre-Columbian tomb was found. The discovery was made when specialists were completing restoration work on paintings in one of the murals at the site. No doubt this is the most important discovery in the last 13 years in this archaeological site, it is a tomb discovered at the bottom of the Temple of the Murals-also called structure 1 -, of the archaeological site.

The director of the INAH Center in Chiapas, Emiliano Gallaga, agreed on the importance of the finding, but said he will still have an analysis done before officially informing the press any details.
