A group of archaeologists discovered in Guatemala, a 482 km North of the capital two tombs of the Mayan civilization, which was built in the 650-700 years and narrowly escaped looting.
The tomb was found among the ruins of the ancient city Holmul, writes My planet. Inside one of them discovered a mysterious artifact, a Maya dynasty, which scientists call the Snake kings.
In particular, archaeologists found the skeleton of a man of middle age, whose teeth were inlaid with jade, according to the custom of the Royal families of the Maya. There was found a carved human femur bone, which, according to experts, could belong to an ancestor of the deceased or his servant.
In another tomb was discovered a pendant with a picture of the sun God, a large stone bench, as well as ceramics, bone and jade.
Archaeologist Francisco Estrada-Belli told The Guardian that it was “very rare and the first major discovery of its kind.”
