The body was of man from the Mayan civilization that lived in Mexico during the late phase of the Classic period, in the years A.D. 600 to 900
Archaeologists have discovered a Mayan tomb holding the remains of a man, alongside burial offerings in Mexico.
The bones belonged to a man between 21 and 35 years of age, the National Institute of Anthropology and History reported. "Given the characteristics of his offering, consisting of an interesting tripod molcajete accompanying him as part of his funeral rites, we know that the site was occupied way back in the Classical period between A.D. 400s and 700," a statement from INAH said.
It was also incredibly well preserved and nearly intact. The surrounding area also holds a wealth of other archaeological finds.
