A 1,400-year-old Zapotec tomb has been found in Southern Mexico. The Zapotec are an Indigenous people. On January 30, Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s president, called the tomb “the most significant archaeological discovery of the last decade in Mexico.” It contains complex carvings of human figures and animals, including one of an owl (above). Archaeologists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History are working to protect the tomb.
