Ancient Aztec palace ruins found under landmark building in Mexico City

Image
The remains of an ancient Aztec palace, which later was the home of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes, were discovered under a landmark building in Mexico City, the government said on Monday. Basalt slab floors were found under the stately building of the Nacional Monte de Piedad, a historic pawn shop in the middle of the capital's central square, during building renovations. The floors correspond to an open area in the palace of Aztec ruler Axayacatl, who was the father of Montezuma, one of the final rulers of the empire. Experts say that "it was part of an open space of the old Axayacatl Palace, probably a patio," the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) said. During excavation, archaeologists also found evidence of the home Cortes had at the site after the fall of the Aztec empire. Archaeologists noted that the floor was likely made of materials reused from Axayacatl's palace, which, like other sacred Aztec buildings, were razed by the conquistado

Hillary Clinton: We Have to Be Ready if Trump Doesn’t ‘Go Quietly’

Image
Trevor Noah returned from a two-week July 4 break with a very big guest: Hillary Clinton.The Daily Show host began his remote interview by asking the former Secretary of State what she’s been up to during quarantine. “Because I know if I was in your position, I would spend most of my time tweeting, ‘I told you so’ and I would walk around the street just looking at people saying, ‘It could have been me, it could have been me.’” “Well, you know, before the lockdown I was doing all of that,” Clinton joked in response. “I mean there’s probably video.”But things turned more serious when Noah asked Clinton how she’s feeling about the 2020 race. “It seems like America is on an ominous path to a November date when there is going to be a lot of questions in and around the election,” the host said. “Donald Trump is vehemently against mail-in voting. What do you make of this and what do you think the path is to getting people the easiest access to casting their votes?” Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah Ro
