The surpassing wealth of the Mexican Indians before the days of the Spanish Conquest has been revealed in a tomb discovered at Monte Alban. The treasure, which, it is reported, rivals the riches of the tomb of Tutankhamen in Egypt, contains pearls as large as pigeons’ eggs, beautifully carved gold relics, gold vases and rock crystal, onyx and alabaster engraved with Mexican heirogiyphics. The tomb held the bodies of 10 warriors covered with gold, jade, pearl and amethyst ornaments. Mr Alfonso Caso. head of the Government Archaeological Mission, said recently that the most valuable find was a gold mask which he considers is unique. Everything within the (ornb was intact, but three vases found at the entrance were broken. It is believed that the warriors were buried secretly after dying in battle, their wealth being buried with them.
