There are several versions of this, but none of them had all the info.

The Ars Technica version is good, but it doesn't mention the jaguars: Largest Aztec temple was decorated with over 100 starfish

Discovery of the largest deposit of starfish, discovered in Templo Mayor

Starfish are evil. They’re pentagram fish.

The pre-Columbian “civilizations” give, I believe, a window into the character of the civilizations of the antediluvian world. Cultures long lost to time, lost to memory, and sunken in the rising seas at the end of the last ice age.

Lots of weirdness, coupled with some remarkable accomplishments.

[[Strange jaguar?]]

Did it have 8 legs and 7 eyes or something? Maybe it self identified as a wild pig?

Weird find though. Wonder if the Aztec site where it was found was near ocean?

It’s well known that the Aztecs worshipped 2 gods, the god of War and the god of Death. There was nothing redeeming in that culture.
