The Back Door to Hell | M.P. Pellicer
During the summer of 2023, archaeologists made a strange discovery under a Mexican church that proved a local legend was indeed true.
Before the birth of Christ, first the Zapotec and then the Mixtec people flourished in the valley of Tlacolula, which lay Approximately 300 miles south of Mexico City
They built a city and a temple named Mitla (Nahuatl word Mictlan, which means Place of the Dead). In adoration to their "cult of the dead" they built massive tombs filled with grave goods. It functioned as a cemetery for the Zapotec and Mixtec until the late 15th century, when the site was abandoned most probably due to attacks by the Aztec who sacked it in 1494.

The Mystery of the Paris Supermarket | M.P. Pellicer
Straight out of one of the climatic scenes in the movie Poltergeist, in 2015, underneath the basement of a Paris supermarket, over two hundred skeletal remains which were believed to have been transferred during the 18th century to the Paris Catacombs were in their original resting place.
The initial assessment of the archaeologists is that these were plague victims that died during several times the Black Death came to Paris, however it was during the French Revolution that the bodies should have been moved, and it appears that those who were alive thought it was expedient to just leave them where they were.
