Explanation:

Archaeologists in Mexico have found the first temple dedicated to a deity called the ‘flayed lord’, an important god in the Aztec Empire whose worshippers were said to wear the skin of sacrificial victims.

The Aztec practice was to perform the sacrificial death in one or more places, but to ritually store the skins in another, after they had been worn by living humans for some days. So it could be that this is the temple where they were kept, making it all the more sacred. Artefacts related to the god were found in the central state of Puebla, at a site built by the Popoloca people

The temple was probably built between (A)(D) 1000 and 1260, the archaeologists found artefacts related to the god, Xipe Tótec including two stone skulls and a stone torso that had an extra hnd hanging off its left arm. Scientists said the extra hand suggested the god was wearing the remains of a sacrificial victim.
