“1100-year-old Mayan settlement discovered beneath palace, reveals ancient rituals and restorations”

Archaeologists have made a significant discovery in Mexico, unearthing the remains of a 1100-year-old settlement in the Mayan palace. This palace, believed to have been reserved for the chosen ones, is located in the city of Palenque. The discovery of food remains in the palace suggests that multiple restoration projects were carried out over the years.

The remains were found beneath the palace floor and in close proximity to one of its most prominent buildings. These artifacts have been dated back to the years 600-850 AD, which coincides with the city’s peak. According to experts, the offerings found were used in ritual ceremonies to appease the gods and establish a connection between the mortal realm and the divine.

During the restoration of the important sections of the palace, these offerings, including food stored in pots, were consumed. This finding sheds light on the cultural and religious practices of the Mayans, giving us insight into their beliefs and rituals. The discovery of this settlement within the palace complex is a groundbreaking revelation for archaeologists and historians alike.
