The Aztec figure of Cihuateotl, dating from around 1500 A.D., is exhibited as part of 'The Aztec Empire' exhibition at the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain, March 17, 2005. Mexican archeologists have found what may be the most significant Aztec ruin in decades, with the unearthing of an altar and a monolith in the busy heart of Mexico City, Mayor Alejandro Encinas said on Wednesday.

P.S.: what do you think? Did the author of the article know what he was doing, or was it unintentional? Place your bets.

Man, I spent at least 3 minutes looking around for the damned pun. I need to give up booze!

Ok, well, maybe not!

The most meaningful thing that has ever happened in Mexico
was when whitey introduced electricity into the area.
Since gratitude is unbecoming socially in their complex
culture they migrate north to display resentment, break
federal and local laws, vote illegally recieve benefits
and mess up apartments.

Those early peoples were so peaceful compared to today when we are so violent, especially the white man who came to conquer their paradise...

This is interesting. But why are we still worshiping the Aztec, or any other backwards pagan culture of losers for that matter? If they were so damned great they would have kicked Europe's ass, not the other way around. They're useful as an example of what not to do, nothing more.

Looks like the headline writer is quite a cardio, and needs to be dealt with.

By that standard, the barbarians who sacked Rome simply had a better culture.
