Mexican archaeologist team found a tower containing more than 650 human skulls coated with lime and thousands of fragments in a cylindrical building in Templo Mayor. The location is known as one of the main temples of the Aztecs in the capital of Tenochtitlan, which later became Mexico City.

The discovery raises questions about the sacrificial culture of the Aztec Empire in the past. Because, there are a number of female skulls and children among the hundreds of skulls. Women and children are commonly known as victims of the Aztec offering.

Approximately six feet in diameter, the tower stands on the corner of the Huitzilopochtli chapel, the sun god, the war and the Aztec human sacrifice. Basically can not be dug.

There is no doubt that the tower is one of the skull buildings mentioned by Andres de Tapia, a Spanish soldier who accompanied Cortes in the conquest of 1521 in Mexico, Barrera said. They allied themselves with the indigenous people trying to conquer the Aztec capital. But unfortunately they themselves fall in the hands of the Aztec tribe.
