The attack on the more than 7,000 year-old Makonikha sanctuary in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo destroyed at least a dozen stone structures used as altars in the spirituality of the Otomi Indigenous people.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have fessed up to being behind the destruction of the stone altars, but have not taken responsibility for a hole that has reportedly been drilled in the base of a pyramid at the San Bartolo Tutotepec archeological site.
Members of the Christian sect say the destruction was motivated by a belief that the ancient Indigenous religion involved devil worship. The perpetrators claim that they were following the word of god by destroying the temple site.
The ancient religion of the Otomi people traditionally holds sacred various deities including earth, water, and fire, and reveres their gods with offerings.
According to anthropologists cited by the Mexican daily La Jornada, Mayonikha for the Otomi — whose territory spreads across central Mexico in at least eight modern-day states — is comparable in significance to Mecca for Muslims or the Vatican for Catholics.
It remains unclear when the Jehovah’s Witnesses carried out the vandalism or how they gained access to the sacred site, protected by local Indigenous people with access only granted to worshippers.

Wow, i guess witnesses are just as bad as radical Islamists!
I “”"KNOW”"” that is not true. There is no evidence. However, if a person associated with or claiming to be one, that one should be removed from among Jehovah’s people. Jehovah’s people are to be peaceable and to harm no one. It is Jehovah’s commission for His people to preach the good news as a witness to all the nations, not to be involved in it’s destruction, politics, wars, and evil deeds. After the good news has been preached, the end will happen. All man’s governments will be replaced with a peaceful government that will put an end to wars and deeds that dominate injury to the Earth and it’s inhabitants. As the Bible states, the evil doers will no longer exist. Jehovah’s people have no hand in their non-existence.
I already read about the accusation. I find it disturbing that people would bare false witness. It reminds me of the first false accuser. The false accuser is leading many to an everlasting non-existence. I pray that all will obtain accurate knowledge resulting in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, mildness, & faith. Love all of you.
P.S.
Bible does say that all inhabitants of the Earth will be, “”"EDUCATED IN THE WAYS OF PEACE”"”!!!
