Tagged: Mexico, mexico cityPosted on: January 25th, 2007“Archeologists announced on Wednesday they have discovered the remains of a 1,500-year-old city influenced by the Olmecs, often referred to as the “mother culture” of MesoAmerica, hundreds of miles away from the Olmecs Gulf coast territory.
The discovery at the Zazacatla archaeological site just 25 miles 40 kms south of Mexico City provides an insight both into the early arrival of advanced civilizations in central Mexico, and the risks posed by modern development.”
