"The popular conception of the ancient Maya society is that they underwent a major collapse. Archaeological investigations at Ucanal and elsewhere, however, show that there was not a collapse everywhere and that ancient Maya peoples resiliently reworked their governing systems."

Events like this only further magnify the negative images that Mexico has on security issues, undermining the narrative that President Sheinbaum is trying to build that Mexico is a safe country.

The discovery comes on the heels of other recent discoveries of Mesoamerican and colonial-era sites and artefacts during archaeological salvage work associated with planning a new 232km passenger rail line between Mexico City and Querétaro.

The map shows a city labelled Temixtitan built on islands in Lake Texcoco. Four causeways in the cardinal directions connect the mainland to a central plaza, which contains two sacrificial temples.

The momoztli altar measures about one meter square and consists of three sections: a base of andesite quarry stone, a second section of larger slabs, and a top section of river stones and basalt.

Frida Kahlo, during her 1933 trip to New York, created a colorful haven in her hotel room by covering the walls with prints by José Guadalupe Posada, which depicted sensational news and political imagery.

I think everyone embraced this storytelling concept because we have to talk about the materials, the product, but doing it in a way that drives an emotional connection with the consumer.

Singular Archive is a cultural custodian safeguarding the world's rarest liquids. This is not a spirits brand, but an artistic endeavor in which the liquid is a part of the work itself.

Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered a 1,400-year-old tomb in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca that had been lost to history. The stone structure, built by the Zapotec culture, known as Be'ena'a, or 'The Cloud People', is adorned with sculptures, murals and carved symbols that suggest ritual significance. The Zapotec believed their ancestors descended from the clouds and that, in death, their souls returned to the heavens as spirits.

Spirits brand Clase Azul México will soon open a brand-new home in the city's Polanco area on Feb. 17, offering guided tastings, rotating art installations, private events, and more. The new address, dubbed "Casa de Los Leones," or House of the Lions, was built in a historic mansion where original elements like stained glassed windows were preserved, juxtaposed with contemporary design.

The project was undertaken by the collaborative team of Laboratorio Regional de Arquitectura, Taller | Mauricio Rocha, and Samuele Xompero after the demolition of the building that once housed the National Union of Cacao Producers, and which had suffered severe structural damage. The building's architecture incorporates the formal memory of its predecessor, but with a new program dedicated to showcasing the transformation of cacao into chocolate.

"At Monte Albán alone, more than 200 tombs of varying size and decoration reflect social, political and economic differences among the ancient Zapotecs," Javier Urcid, an anthropology professor at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, tells The Art Newspaper. "Built beneath residences, tombs were reused over generations-with additional burials and occasional changes to offerings or decoration. The inscribed genealogies verified membership in family lineages."

The Mexican Pizza has been a Taco Bell fan favorite since it was first introduced to the menu back in 1985 - though it went by a different name back then, the Pizzazz Pizza. In its current form at the fast food chain, this dish consists of two layers of crisp flour tortillas with refried beans and seasoned ground beef sandwiched in the middle, and "Mexican Pizza Sauce," melted cheese, and diced tomatoes on top.

RootStudio proposes an alternative, where the waiting period becomes a spatial condition worthy of design attention. Each intervention is organized around a continuous roof supported by a rhythmic structural frame. The canopy provides shade and shelter from rain while defining a perimeter for waiting without enclosing it. The architecture reads as a measured gesture within an intense urban setting.

Tequila has spent a long time in the shadows of the spirits world. Unfairly stereotyped as a drink reserved for college bars and wild nights, its recent renaissance and the emergence of many popular tequila brands have shown the world that it's worth celebrating after all. And nowhere is this celebration more on display than at Ixi'im, a restaurant that claims to have the largest collection of tequila in the world - 3,435 bottles, to be exact.

It is not about reproducing the past but about engaging in dialogue with it. We apply the same level of care and rigor to all pieces. Many of our utilitarian pieces have a strong sculptural quality, and several of the more artistic works originate from everyday forms and functions. We do not establish rigid boundaries between these categories; all are part of the same vision.

Taking over the colourful Casa Gilardi, Luis Barragán's last commissioned residence, built for the advertising executive Francisco Gilardi in the mid-1970s, the German artist Gregor Hildebrandt transforms the house's stylish rooms with an ever-expanding exhibition of his enigmatic works across various media. Known for transforming outmoded analogue recording media-including audio cassettes, VHS tapes and vinyl records-into paintings, sculptures and large-scale installations, the Berlin-based artist's conceptual works explore themes of memory, nostalgia and the physical representation of intangible sound and sight.
