According to the National Institute of Anthropology and History (Inah), real tomb was discovered in 1999 - is under a building called the Temple XX.

The camera reveals, the tomb is shaped rooms were painted blood red, decorated with paintings of nine figures in black. There are pottery, jade pieces, and shellfish. Floor of the tomb seemed covered with the dust of the weathering of rocks for thousands of years.
