Lost Mexican Codex Is Discovered
A 500-year-old Mexican text dating to just before Hernan Cortez arrived in Mexico with his band of murderous, thieving conquistadors has been discovered written over, underneath another old Mexican manuscript. The documents are in Europe, where researchers are studying the rediscovered text and images to decipher them. The newly discovered document, announced by the Universiteit Leiden in the Netherlands, is beneath the Codex Selden. The Codex Selden, also called the Codex Anute, is a Mixtec document that is in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford.
