The Tzompantli
The location of the skull rack ... if you know where it is from
A tzompantli, or skull rack, is a type of rack documented in several Mesoamerican civilizations, which was used for the public display of human skulls taken from the bodies of war captives or other sacrificial victims. It is a scaffold-like construction of poles on which heads and skulls were placed after holes had been made in them. Tzompantli have been documented throughout Mesoamerica, and range from the Epiclassic (ca. 600–900 CE)through early Post-Classic (ca. 900–1250 CE). The Aztecs were not the first civilization in Mesoamerica to practice human sacrifice as probably it was the Olmec civilization (1200-300 BCE) which first began such rituals atop their sacred pyramids.
