Jehovah’s Witnesses accused of vandalizing 7,000 year-old pyramid out of fears of devil worship [View all]

The 7,000 year-old Makonikha sanctuary in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo is comparable to Mecca for Muslims or the Vatican for Catholics, the researchers explained.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are claiming this story to be false
