Arheolozi u Meksiku nedavno su otkrili objekat cilindričnog oblika u čijim zidinama su ugrađeno blizu 700 ljudskih lubanja, a riječ je o arheološkom otkriću koje nameće nova pitanja o kulturi civilizacije Asteka na tom području. Takozvani “toranj od lubanja“ pronađen je u neposrednoj blizini hrama Templo Mayor, jednog od najvećih hramova u astečkoj prijestolnici Tenochtitlanu, današnjem Mexico Cityju.
