city was abandoned in 700 AD and very little is known about the civilization, or what caused the mass exodus.
in 2010, experts said a discovery of the tomb would be important because the social structure of Teotihuacan remains a mystery after nearly 100 years of archaeological exploration at the site.
When civilization was abandoned almost 50,000 objects of great value, including jade, stone, shell and pottery, including ceramic beakers, have thrown into the tunnel because it was closed.
The Mayas deformed skulls of children, when they were easier to mold, because they believed it made people appear more noble.
According to Dr. Samuel Romero-Vargas, the direction of the deformation is not only aesthetic but religious and social.
In an article the researcher reported that a Spanish chronicler called Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo had a conversation with Maya, asking what it meant to the custom.
‘This is done because our ancestors were told by the gods if our heads were trained, we should appear noble and beautiful and better withstand loads of the maya answered.

MAYA Goldenballs CAVE
last year, hundreds of mysterious orbs of golden color were found buried in a hidden chamber deep under the Temple of the feathered Serpent Mexico.
The discovery was made by archaeologists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico, who admit they do not know that the spheres were for.
A small robot called Tlaloc II-TC tunnels scanned deep beneath the famous temple, found the orbs using scanners infrared.
They hid in an old room unexplored at the end of a section of 2000 year unexplored tunnel on the site of Teotihuacan, near the Pyramid of the Sun
Jorge Zavala, an archaeologist on the dig said: “They look like yellow spheres, but we do not know their meaning.
The robot may have made a breakthrough in a tunnel 2000 years in Mexico
