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.
