In 2012 150 skulls were found in a Mexican cave — and now it’s been determined what exactly happened in this haunting location. Authorities initially believed that the cave in the municipality of Frontera Comalapa was a modern crime scene. The skulls belonged to men, women, and infants who were ritually beheaded and displayed on a 'trophy' rack called a tzompantli. Believing they had managed to discover evidence of mass murder, the authorities collected the skulls themselves. The INAH currently believes that the cave in Comalapa was a site of ritual sacrifice.
