Image description:
|
The discovery of the stone sculpture of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui and the subsequent Proyecto Templo Mayor (1978-1982), when the main temple of Tenochtitl¿n was excavated, transformed archaeological knowledge of the Aztecs by offering an unprecedented view of remains at the very centre of the city.
