In 1964, a colossal pre-Hispanic monolith was taken from the village of San Miguel Coatlichán to the National Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico City. This event led to an exploration of the conflicts surrounding heritage and history through the artifacts of the past, and gave rise to an international debate on cultural property and the legitimate custodians of the past.
