Severed Heads Were Sacrifices in Ancient Mexico
Archaeologists find more than 150 skulls that were sacrificed to the rain Gods.
“Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of more than 150 skulls from an ancient shrine in central Mexico—evidence of one of the largest mass sacrifices of humans in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica.
