== History ==
=== Archaeology === In May 2020, discovery of remains of at least sixty [[mammoth]]s (included male, female, young mammoths) and 15 people were uncovered by the [[Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia|National Institute of Anthropology and History]] headed by archaeologist Sánchez Nava under the [[Mexico City Santa Lucía Airport|Mexico City Santa-Lucia airport]], in the former Lake Xaltocan. According to the INAH, mammoth skeletons revealed in what used to be the shallow part of the lake were better anatomically preserved than those found in the deeper parts of the former lake. Mammoths probably got stuck in the lake and died.<ref>{{Cite web |author=David Williams |title=Archaeologists found the bones of about 60 mammoths at an airport construction site |url=https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/mexico-mammoth-find-scn-trnd/index.html |access-date=2020-09-08 |website=CNN |language=en |archive-date=2020-09-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200902175422/https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/mexico-mammoth-find-scn-trnd/index.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=City |first=Associated Press in Mexico |date=2020-05-22 |title='There are too many': bones of 60 mammoths found in Mexico |url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/22/mexico-city-mammoth-bones-found |access-date=2020-09-08 |website=the Guardian |language=en |archive-date=2020-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200823025246/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/22/mexico-city-mammoth-bones-found |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bones of about 60 mammoths found near ancient lake in Mexico |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mammoth-remains-mexico-bones-of-about-60-mammoths-found-near-ancient-lake/ |access-date=2020-09-08 |website=www.cbsnews.com |language=en-US |archive-date=2020-08-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806115859/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mammoth-remains-mexico-bones-of-about-60-mammoths-found-near-ancient-lake/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=A mammoth discovery: Giant remains found near Mexico City |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/05/mammoth-discovery-giant-remains-mexico-city-200528092949598.html |access-date=2020-09-08 |website=www.aljazeera.com |archive-date=2020-07-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200726155027/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/05/mammoth-discovery-giant-remains-mexico-city-200528092949598.html |url-status=live}}</ref>
