VANISHED POMPS.-The unearthing in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, of a grave full of gold and precious stones, rivalling Tutankhamen's famous tomb, focuses interest on the buried cities of that mysterious land. On the left: The Hall of Monoliths, Mitla Oaxaca, a world-famous wonder. Although Mitla was obviously a place of the palaces of a mighty race, nothing whatever is known of the builders. Right: An earthenware idol of the Zapotacs, one of the two principal civilisations of Oaxaco. Note the similarity to the tiki of the Maori, who, according to some archaeologists, came originally from the land of the Aztecs.
