Tazumal Ruins - Part 2 One of the most famous rituals was the one which had maidens as the protagonists. The rite consisted in place a virgin woman on the stone located in the ceremonial platform, and then to make s worship. After that, it was introduced a knife into the heart of the woman. Many historians tell that this sacrifice was symbolic. What they really made was a representative sacrifice using a mud doll with some similarity of the woman who served as an offering. On April 16, 1952, was founded The Museum of Tazumal that exhibits a lot of information about the culture of that zone. Besides that, there is an exhibition that shows a long variety of mud vessel, earrings, necklaces, mirrors, rings, and many other objects and images that were found there. Over the time, the pyramids have been exposed to the difficulties of the weather to such an extent some of them has been at risk of collapse that has obligated to the authorities to take care of them much more. That was the case in 2004 when a part of the pyramid number 2 collapsed and made to start some excavations that confirmed that this place belonged to Toltec Empire.
