An ancient tomb dating to 600AD unearthed in southern Mexico has been hailed as the “most significant archaeological discovery in a decade” by the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
The well-preserved 1,400-year-old tomb from the Zapotec culture featured intricate details, including a sculpture of a wide-eyed owl with the plastered and painted figure of a man in its beak, multicoloured murals, and carvings of calendars.
