Mummies with Ulcers

Two Mexican mummies circa 1350 A.D. have been found to contain Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that causes ulcers, in their intestinal tracts. In other Mexico news, mysterious pyramids north of Mexico city are being excavated in the hope they will provide insight into a pre-Aztecan culture that inhabited the area then abandoned it in 700 A.D.
