Archaeologists in Mexico City have discovered artifacts including arrowheads and human figurines that had laid buried for over 3,000 years under just over three feet of earth that is trampled on daily by hundreds of people.
Commonly referred to as the lungs of Mexico City, Chapultepec Forest – Bosque de Chapultepec – receives around 15 million visitors a year and features a zoo, a castle, two lakes, and the National Museum of Anthropology, among other tourist attractions.
The recent discovery, made in the 1,695-acre park, has marked Chapultepec Forest as one of the oldest archaeological sites in the Valley of Mexico, which was at the heart of a number of pre-Hispanic civilizations.
