Mexico: Bones of pre-Aztec child sacrifices found

A major archeological discovery was made last week in Mexico when scientists discovered evidence of child sacrifices from before the Aztec period. The bones of approximately a two dozen children were dated back to between 950 A.D. and 1150 A.D., and are believed to have been sacrificed by the Toltecs to Tlaloc (image), the god of rain and fertility.
