Ancient Cemetery Found in Mexico

Posted on March 12, 2012

The remains of 167 bodies were recently found in a a cave in the southern state of Chiapas. The bodies were originally thought to be 50 years old, but the BBC reports that anthropologists in Mexico say the bodies date back 1,300 years. This is raw footage of the ancient cemetery in the clip below. They shouldn't be knocking the bones around like that if this is an important historical site. The video below was probably taken before the anthropologists arrived and discovered that the site was very, very old. The BBC has a different video that shows all the bones neatly set out on display. Take a look:
