The leaders of a team exploring a site opened up by earthquake damage believe that they have found the first tomb of an Aztec ruler. If they are right the site may yield one of the great treasures of antiquity, the sort of haul that fires the imagination of people far beyond academic circles.

any evidence of anciet aliens? The legal kind, from Space. Wrong group. That would be the Maya about 400 years prior.
Although the Aztec did rip-off a bunch a stuff from the Maya so it is remotely possible that they will find some items that could give more insight into the myths and legends.
If they find a couple of codex's it would be dancing and singing time.

"If it's anything like the hyperbolic headline. " The excitement is over the fact that it hasn't been robbed.

He had hepatitis? How do you know?
It looks like he was a little jaundiced in his left eye....
Is it the skin tone?
If my skin turns blue, I have caught hepatitis? I'll remember that. Thanks. ;-)
