Mexican Archaeologists Forced to Bury an Unusual Discovery of Sophisticated Tunnels Made in Old Aztec Capital
Tenochtitlan featured numerous dam systems to prevent flooding from torrential rains, but Spanish conquistadors failed to appreciate the ingenuity of this indigenous infrastructure, destroying many of the pre-Hispanic constructions in the early years of genocides and barbarism of Spanish colonization.
Archaeologists had to rebury the structures due to lack of funds.
I read it at the website of Smithsonian too. Kind of sad that they had to bury it due to lack of funding.
I wish the Spanish did the same instead of destroying many other Aztec tunnels.
