Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff.

Josh, Chuck, Jerry, and for Dave, this is Short Stuff.

Stand back.

That's right, about the Aztec death whistle.

We talked a lot about Mexico City, one of our favorite places to visit. And if you go to

Mexico City, you should know that you are a lot of times standing on the ruins of ancient burial temples,

Aztec temples, and they have excavated those over the years here and there. And in the late 90s,

they excavated a temple dedicated to the Aztec wind god, and they uncovered

the remains of a 20-year-old male that was beheaded, squatting at the base of the stairway,

and holding a couple of musical instruments.

Yeah, as an aside, I just want to say, I think I've said it before, the anthropological museum in Mexico

City is world-class.

Yeah, that's on my list.

It'll happen next time for sure.

It's great for that very reason, because there's so many ruins just built right over and

preserved in that way.

I mean, think about it.

Mexico City is one of the most densely populated cities on the planet, and people were walking over a beheaded skeleton every day until the late 90s when they excavated it, you know? Yeah. Uh-huh. So, yeah, you said that, boy, did you say he was holding whistles, or did you just say he was holding something? I said musical instruments, but yeah, there you go.

They're whistles.

Whistles.
