11 symbols were discovered – including representations of a war shield, the head of a bird of prey, and raindrops

The discovery was intended to be made into a public exhibit so that people could visit and inspect this unusual

The decision was largely due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis in Mexico

The researchers said they would construct special masonry to protect the glyphs
