A Metzca pyramid attached to the indigenous kingdom of Metztitlan
After the pyramid appeared in June 2024, archaeologists conducted a thorough survey of the monument and surrounding area with the assistance of drone technology.

Upon closer investigation, it soon became clear that the sole pyramid was attached to a much larger and significant site. They identified five sections and 10 archaeological mounds, at least. 

Additionally, 155 samples of ceramic, malacological, and lithic materials have been collected, from floors of lime, coal, earth, and charred wood, which will undergo further analysis in the upcoming months. 

The impressive settlement, according to INAH archaeologists, most likely dates between the Epiclassic period (650 to 950 CE) and the Late Postclassic period (1350 to 1519 CE).
