Antropology museum and other Mexico Things to Do Tips

this museum is one of the most visited attractions in Mexico city besides the pyramids of Teotihuacan, the place give you a general idea of the ancient civilizations, the mayan room, the olmec, the north civilizations, the mexica room (aztec empire), the teotihuacan, zapotecs, at least you will spend 2 hours there.

its amazing to study the AZTEC CALENDAR recently I was reading more about it, you can see the 20 days of the month, the moon eating hearts, the sun with a pircing in the mouth, the 4 elements of earth, etc...
I am still thinking if the vikings visit mexico and had contact with these cultures.
I read recently in the ARQUEOLOGIA magazine
" Escandinavian tales" inform the expeditions between XI and XIV century, norwegian settlers from Greenland were the possible first expeditionist that had contact with american natives, the viking village founded in L Anse aux Meadows,in Terranova, confirm their visits.
Also can you explain why it was found a roman head in the center of mexico.

the museum is closed on mondays, 45 pesos entrance, ( dont complain we are poor, and the price is comparative like other museums in Europe )

Teotihuacan pyramids recive millions of visitor for year, the pyramid of the moon and pyramid of the sun are unique.(280 steps)

The very best day to visit this mistique place is in the Equinox days on november and march.

the last discover on year 2003, tell us it was discovered just besides the pyramid of the moon, the skeleton of a woman, maybe a princess, is not normal for the archeologist since the women could not rule in high levels, maybe is the mother of one king.
also they found some children with tie hands, it seems a sacrifice. not knew before for the Teotihuacan area.
Also were discovered some tunels behind each pyramid.
at the moment no access to the public in this areas.
