Aztec tower of skulls contains severed heads of women and children

Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of 119 more men, women and children at the Aztec tower of skulls under Mexico City - with many believed to have been victims of human sacrifice. The gruesome new discovery adds to hundreds of human heads previously uncovered at the site, thought to form part of the Huei Tzompantli, a massive array of skulls that struck fear into the Spanish conquistadores when they captured the city under Hernan Cortes. It was first uncovered in 2017, but now experts have excavated a new eastern section of the tower, along with the outer facade. According to the National Anthropology and History Institute, the remains are of people believed to have been captured enemy warriors while others could have been killed in ritual sacrifices to appease the gods.
