Prehistoric Art
Of Mexico Likened
To That of Egypt
TKPIC. Navarit, Mexico (AD
K, O. Matthews, an Aincrlcan
versed In Mexican archaeology,
says that some of his recent discov
eries of prehlstotre relics in west
ern Mexico show striking similar
ity to the ancient art of Ktrvpt.
Mr. Matthews points out that
while much data concerning the
Tolti-cs and their successors, the
Aztecs, has been gleaned from
central and eastern Mexico, little
has been learned regard iii the
history of those who dwelt on the
western shorus. lie is niviiiH his
attention to supplying more in
formation of regions archaeolo;;
ically uncharted, and has uncov
ered weamms. articles of domestic
utility an adornment and grotes
que images of religious portent.
A recent prexs dispatch from
Mexico rity told of a parly of ex
cursionists in Vera Cruz state that
found, hidden l'l ti cave near Oriz
aba, a large- collection of Aztec
idols. These images si 111 were be
ing worshipped by Indians of that
remote region, who continued to
follow ceremonies mippood to
have disappeared more than 4uO
years ago. It was reported that
after a battle with the Indians
captured many of the priceless
relies. The 1'nlverslty of Orizaba
has om:tnized an expedition to ex
plore the locality more thorough
ly. Com men ting on this find of
Idols, Mr. Matthews deplored the
life of force und recalled an ex
perience he had u few years ngo.
Neur Tecoco he too found a cave
filled with idols nnd other objects
of great nut Inn it y. The Indians,
holdii.g confidence in him. al
lowed him to .select several of tlie
:trt treasures on his promihe that
lie would not reveal the hiding
place. He chose three Idols and
