A Mayan sarcophagus sits in a tomb recently excavated at the Mayan Tonina archeological site near Ocosingo village in Mexico's Chiapas state, February 19, 2010. Archaeologists from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology an History (INAH) announced the discovery of the ancient sarcophagus in Dec. 2009, and date the tomb as 840-900 BC. Anthropologists hope the discovery will help explain the collapse of the Mayan Civilization.
