ENORMOUS MUSEUM IN MEXICO (NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY)| Eileen Aldis
The National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropología) is absolutely enormous. Located in Mexico City's Chapultepec Park, it's the largest and most visited museum in all of Mexico. The museum has an extensive collection of artifacts from Mexico's pre-Columbian history that are of special archaeological and anthropological significance. Covering about 80,000 square metres, the architecture is stunning and has a huge umbrella-like structure supported by just a single beam. Some of the highlights of the museum are giant stone heads from the Olmec civilization as well as treasures from the Mayan civilization. Two of the most popular attractions are the Aztec Stone Of The Sun and a reconstruction of the tomb of Pacal The Great, a Mayan ruler who was deified (603 CE - 683 CE). You could easily spend days in this massive museum, but it's worth seeing even if you only have a couple of hours.

The Holy City of Teotihuacan ???????? Mexico Pre-Hispanic World Heritage Site
The holy city of Teotihuacan ('the place where the gods were created') is situated some 50 km north-east of Mexico City. Built between the 1st and 7th centuries A.D., it is characterized by the vast size of its monuments – in particular, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, laid out on geometric and symbolic principles. As one of the most powerful cultural centres in Mesoamerica, Teotihuacan extended its cultural and artistic influence throughout the region, and even beyond. ( )

STORYLINE:
Mexican archaeologists have announced a series of new discoveries in and around the Templo Mayor at the heart of Mexico City's historical centre.
Mexico´s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the Urban Archaeological Programme held a joint news conference on Monday to announce the latest findings.
They have found new evidence of pre-Hispanic Mexico at five different sites around the Templo Mayor.
These findings include parts of an ancient ceremonial temple constructed by the Mexica (pronounced me- shee- ka) people, an Aztec tribe who ruled between 1325 and 1521.
Excavations to help support the National Palace uncovered four different basements said to be part of the Mexica temple.
They also found evidence of pre-Hispanic drainage systems, floors and murals.
Other work carried out at the nearby Cathedral to install a new floor uncovered similar treasures.
Again drains and different levels of flooring were found as well as yet more evidence of murals and foundations.
The other findings were made during routine excavations in streets within a few hundred metres of the Templo Mayor.
The ruins of the Templo Mayor itself were discovered accidentally in 1978 during the excavation of a new electricity pipe.
Since then, more and more sites have been found in the area.
After 20 years of uninterrupted labours, archaeological work and research have resulted in considerable new information on the Mexicas.
They ruled the valley of Mexico until the arrival of their Spanish conquerors that destroyed the ancient city of Tenochtitlan and its centrepiece, the Templo Mayor.
The invading power erected a monumental Catholic cathedral, which still stands today, by the ruins of the Templo Mayor.
Tenochtitlan had been built on top of a lake, but an ingenious drainage network meant the pre-Hispanics lived in harmony with their surroundings.
Despite draining the lake, to this day Mexicans have to constantly pump water to prevent the corrosion of the foundations of the modern city and its ruins.

Team claim to have found Montezuma's Aztec palace

5. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Elsa Hernandez, Archaeologist:
The chroniclers mentioned that the House of Moneda was built on top of what was the Casa Denegrida (The Black House). The Black House was one of Montezuma's rooms. It was a completely closed off room, black, where Montezuma would to go meditate and to analyze the forecasts that he got from his diviners, which we know he worried about a lot.
6. Various of woman dusting inside of excavation site that was part of the Black House
7. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Elsa Hernandez, Archaeologist:
There are various spaces that make up the house. In one of them, he received ambassadors, another room functioned as an office, and others we suppose were royal bedrooms, rooms for the family. We think that the emperor had a number of wives, and so of course a number of children. It must have been a large house to house that large family.

STORYLINE
Mexican archaeologists said on Monday that they have unearthed the remains of an Aztec palace once inhabited by the emperor Montezuma in the heart of what is now downtown Mexico City.
During a routine renovation project on a Colonial-era building, experts uncovered pieces of a wall as well as a basalt floor believed to have been part of a dark room where Montezuma meditated, according to archaeologist Elsa Hernandez.
Montezuma's palace complex, known as the Casas Nuevas - or New Houses to distinguish them from his predecessors palaces - is thought to have been comprised of five interconnected buildings containing the emperor's office, chambers for children and several wives and even a zoo, Hernandez said.
The basalt floor likely belongs to the Casa Denegrida, or the Black House, which Spanish conquerors described as a windowless room painted in black, Hernandez said.
The emperor was believed to have reflected there on visions recounted by professional seers and shamans.
The Aztec constructions were razed by the Spanish invaders, who built what is now Mexico City atop their ruins.
Experts had long thought Montezuma's palace stood roughly on the site where the ruins were found - next door to the National Palace.
It's another small part of the puzzle. We're hoping to find several more pieces of the puzzle, Hernandez told AP Television.
Montezuma was the Aztec emperor when Spanish conqueror Hernan Cortes marched into the Mexico Valley in 1519.
He died after being captured by the Spaniards in 1520 and the city along with the Aztec empire collapsed shortly afterwards in 1521.
