I’ve been feeling sick of being in the city and far from any real nature for a while now so I made an ‘ideal’ kind of place I wish I could live in instead to help cope haha.
“The attack on the more than 7,000 year-old Makonikha sanctuary in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo destroyed at least a dozen stone structures used as altars in the spirituality of the Otomi Indigenous people.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have fessed up to being behind the destruction of the stone altars, but have not taken responsibility for a hole that has reportedly been drilled in the base of a pyramid at the San Bartolo Tutotepec archeological site.
Members of the Christian sect say the destruction was motivated by a belief that the ancient Indigenous religion involved devil worship. The perpetrators claim that they were following the word of god by destroying the temple site.
Idk if ppl are aware but this is an extremely extremely sacred site that is still used by the native ppl from surrounding areas.
And according to an article
“Al profanar los altares desbarataron ofrendas textiles, de flores, ceras, alimentos, recortes de papel que representan espíritus, y además rompieron efigies, como la de un águila que naturalmente se formó en una laja, detalla.”
They destroyed offerings, paper that was cut to represent spirits, and broke effigies. One of the effigies being a natural formed eagle that formed from a rock
