MEXICO CITY, MEXICO—Ten cone-shaped tombs estimated to be about 3,000 years old have been discovered in Mexico City, according to a Miami Herald report. María de Lourdes López Camacho of Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) said that the round, tapered chambers each measure about seven feet wide, and were found in a cluster parallel to the Chapultepec Forest. Five of the tombs held skeletal remains that are believed to belong to four women and one man. Tools, a cup, and figurines were also recovered. Similar tombs have been found in other areas of Mexico.
