The Calixtlahuaca ''Head''

By Crusader1307

Discovered in a Pre-Columbian Archaeological excavation in 1933, The Calixtlahuaca "Head" is a fragment of statuary found in The Toluca River Valley, near Mexico City - Mexico. Found underneath an Ancient Burial Tomb, some Scientists date the statue fragment from 1510 AD. Others claim, it is much older. The carving is not Columbian in appearance, but Roman. Thus prompts the question of "how" an Ancient Roman statue ended up in Central America. Some cite that the carving us proof of a much more Ancient trade and contact with ancient cultures, hitherto unknown of. Skeptics say that the carving us nothing more than an "image" of Spanish Explorers and Conquerors. The "proof" as always, a matter of "opinion ".
