Aztec leader's tomb found
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexican archaeologists using ground-penetrating radar
have detected underground chambers they believe contain the remains of
Emperor Ahuizotl, who ruled the Aztecs when Columbus landed in the New
World. It would be the first tomb of an Aztec ruler ever found.
The find could provide an extraordinary window into Aztec civilization
at its apogee. Ahuizotl (ah-WEE-zoh-tuhl), an empire-builder who
extended the Aztecs' reach as far as Guatemala, was the last emperor to
complete his rule before the Spanish Conquest.
[At its apogee, eh? Like something might have been providing them with
great powers but disappeared before the Spaniards arrived, not too many
years after this king was buried? Hmmm....]
