Additional information

The Proyecto Templo Mayor of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) was created in 1978 after the discovery of a huge monolith depicting Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec moon goddess. Since then, other impressive public monuments and religious buildings have been discovered in downtown Mexico City in the area occupied by the sacred precinct of Tenochtitlan. Archaeologists recently uncovered the largest Aztec sculpture ever found—of the earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli.
