Answer:

Aztec sun stone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Aztec sun stone is a large sculpture made by the Aztecs in pre-Columbian Mexico. It is richly decorated with Aztec characters and symbols in a circular pattern carved in relief on a flat surface. The stone is of basalt, 3.7 meters wide and weighs 24 tons. The sunstone was probably used primarily as a ceremonial altar, including for the Aztec human sacrifices, and not as an astrological and astronomical map. Today, it is located in Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
