"We were expecting just men, obviously young men, as warriors would be, and the thing about the women and children is that you'd think they wouldn't be going to war," Rodrigo Bolanos, a biological anthropologist investigating the find, told news agency Reuters.

"Something is happening that we have no record of, and this is really new, a first."

So far, archaeologists have found 676 skulls in a site next to Mexico City's Metropolitan Cathedral, which was built over the Templo Mayor, one of the most important Aztec temples.

Wow, that's one scary wall! Wonder what the explanation for the inclusion of woman and children will be.

I've visited that cathedral. It's been sinking for hundreds of years and now it's starting to crumble. Mexico City has some creepy places to visit  Very fun if you're into the macabre.

They extinguished the bloodlines of the royalty of conquered peoples and substituted their own.
