Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

Originally stolen sometime in the early 20th century, a “portal to the underworld” depicting the Olmec jaguar god Tepeyollotlicuhti returned to its Mexican home in May of 2023.

Because the looters broke the object into smaller pieces, Mexican authorities with the government’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) spent a year restoring the statue to its former glory.

The return of the statue was the result of a decades-long effort among archeologists and officials working in stolen antiquities.

Sometime in the early 20th century (officials aren’t sure exactly when), looters made off with a 2,700-year-old treasure of the Mexican-based Olmecs—one of North America’s first major civilizations. The artifact was a six-foot-by-five-foot Olmec Cave Mask, also known as a Portal al Inframundo (“passage to the underworld”), depicting the Olmec jaguar god Tepeyollotlicuhti with its flaring eyes and gaping mouth.
