The recently discovered temple in Mexico's Yucatán peninsula dates between A.D. 1000 and 1200.
Archaeologists working on the construction of the Tren Maya Hotel in Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico, have uncovered an ancient human burial site. The skeletal remains and funerary items within the tomb are believed to date back to the time when Palenque was known as Lakamha', a pre-Hispanic city.
Mexico archaeologists discovered a lavishly adorned human body in a grave believed to be over 1,000 years old while workers were completing the construction of the Maya Train.
The body was found with three ceramic vases, a pair of earrings and two green stone beads.
The discovery may hold the key to unlocking more of the history of this ancient Maya acropolis, a "best-kept secret" of the Yucatán.
