Pyramid of the Moon: Headless corpses discovered




A tomb filled with decapitated bodies suggests Mexico's 2000 year-old "Pyramid of the Moon" may have been the site of horrifically gory sacrifices, archaeologists said today.

The tomb at Teotihuacan... also held the bound carcasses of eagles, dogs and other animals

Of the 12 human bodies found, 10 were decapitated and then tossed, rather than arranged, on one side of the burial site. The two other bodies were richly ornamented with beads and a necklace made of imitation human jaws

As usual, the archaeologists are convinced that "it is most likely that the ceremony created a horrible scene of bloodshed"
