Archaeologists find strange Maya warrior statue with helmet shaped like snake
Archaeologists have unearthed an unusual statue depicting a Maya warrior wearing a serpent-shaped helmet in the basement of a pre-Columbian temple in Mexico.
Discovered at Chichén Itzá in the Yucatán Peninsula, the 33cm (13in) tall and 28cm (11in) wide statue is believed to be around 1,000 years old, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).
The statue portrays a warrior adorned in a feathered dress and wearing a helmet shaped like a serpent with open jaws, the Independent reported.
