Of course we are… there is a sad, yet strong bond between us earthquake countries.
I still remember seeing the Japanese arrive here in Mexico that night in 2017… we all cheered for them…

Earthquake Reveals Aztec Snakehead Beneath Mexico City
Researchers are conserving a rare snakehead from the Aztecs that still retains its painted colors from hundreds of years ago.
An earthquake last year revealed a big surprise beneath a law school in modern-day Mexico City: a giant, colorful snakehead from the Aztec Empire.
The snakehead dates back more than 500 years, to when the Aztecs controlled the area, which at the time was part of the flourishing capital of Tenochtitlan. The sculpture was discovered after a magnitude-7.6 earthquake struck Mexico City on Sept. 19, 2022; the seismic event caused damage and changes in the topography, revealing the snakehead beneath a building that was part of a law school at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) said in a Spanish-language statement.
The Aztecs built temples and pyramids and worshipped a number of deities, including Quetzalcoatl, who was often depicted as a snake. However, it's unclear if this sculpture depicts him, the archaeologists said.
The sculpted snake is 5.9 feet (1.8 meters) long, 2.8 feet (0.85 m) wide and 3.3 feet (1 m) high, and it weighs about 1.3 tons (1.2 metric tons), the INAH said. Several colors — including red, blue, black and white — are preserved on the sculpture.
Tumblr media
Color was preserved on about 80% of the sculpture's surface. To keep it preserved, an INAH team lifted the snakehead out of the ground with a crane and constructed a humidity chamber around the sculpture. This chamber allows the sculpture to lose humidity gradually, with its color being preserved, María Barajas Rocha, a conservationist with the INAH who worked extensively on the sculpture, said in the statement.
While other snakehead sculptures have been found at Tenochtitlan, this one is particularly important for its preserved colors, said Erika Robles Cortés, an archaeologist with the INAH.
Tumblr media
"Thanks to the context in which this piece was discovered, but above all, thanks to the stupendous intervention of the restorers-conservators led by Maria Barajas, it has been possible to stabilize the colors for its preservation in almost all the sculpture, which is extremely important, because the colors have helped us to conceive pre-Hispanic art from another perspective," Robles Cortés told Live Science in an email.
The sculpture's "sheer size is impressive, as well as its artistry," but the survival of the colors is remarkable, said Frances Berdan, a professor emeritus of anthropology at California State University, San Bernardino who was not involved with the excavation. "The survival of black, white, red, yellow, and blue paints is particularly interesting — one gains a good image of the visual impact of such sculptures as they were arrayed about the city center," Berdan said in an email.
Tumblr media
In addition to its preserved colors, the snakehead's size is notable, said Bertrand Lobjois, an associate professor of humanities at the University of Monterrey in Mexico who is not involved in the excavation. The "first time I saw this serpent head, I was dazzled by its dimensions," he said in an email.
Lobjois also praised the conservation work that allowed the colors to survive, noting that "the conservation process allows us to appreciate the naturalistic approach of figuration" the Aztec artists used.
This work is ongoing and will continue at the site into next year.

Researchers have found signs of major seismic damage in iconic structures at Teotihuacan, suggesting earthquakes played a key role in the city's abandonment around 650 AD.

If I had a coin for every time there has been a mild to very serious earthquake in Mexico City on September 19, I would have 3 coins, which isn't much, but it is strange that it has happened 3 times.

A September 22.
Tumblr media
And it happened again. As if it were something that only happens in fiction films. Mexico was hit again by strong earthquakes in September. After a night of restlessness and anxiety, I woke up and saw her smiling. She asked me, do you know what good morning means? Seeing my astonishment, she let me know. "It is the wish that today everything goes well for you, that all good things come to you and that your heart doesn't let you feel how much I love you. I will truly never forget this 22nd of September. With a tear that she never noticed as we laughed, I replied... Good morning my sweet love".
—  Juan Francisco Palencia.

You don’t understand on September 19 1985 there was a huge earthquake that killed tons of people and destroyed many many buildings, then on September 19 2017 there was another huge earthquake that, again, killed a lot of people and destroyed some buildings and now, on September 19 2022 there was a huge earthquake (7.7). This is the 3rd earthquake that happens on this day. It’s insane.
