Cuilapan - Old Indian Ruins

Old Indian ruins discovered near Cuilapan included a remarkable tomb around which a pyramid had been built, an architectural style not typically found in Mexico. An external flight of nine steps leads into an antechamber, from where visitors pass beneath a magnificent stone lintel into the actual tomb. The date-glyphs could not be decoded for a long time. It is assumed that this is a Zapotec tomb.
