Unearthed: 1,400-year-old Mayan mass grave of DECAPITATED aristocrats discovered in Mexico | Mail Online: "A 1,400-year old mass grave of decapitated prisoners of war has been discovered in the Mayan city of Uxul in Mexico.



The 7th-century grave contained dismembered skeletons of 24 victims, thought to have been prisoners of war, in what was once a water reservoir. The finding provides the first physical evidence that the violent murder of opponents, which was so often shown in Maya art, was in fact practiced."
