Ammon News - The collapse of an ancient pyramid in Mexico has sparked fear among the local tribe who warned the destruction is a 'bad omen.'

The 1,100-year-old brick pyramid, located at the Ihuatzio Archaeological Zone in the Mexican state of Michoacán, crumbled on one side due to heavy rainfall in the region.

The pyramids were built on the eastern shore of Lake Pátzcuaro, occupied by the Purépecha Empire from 900 AD until Spanish conquerors arrived in the region in 1530 AD.

Descendants of the ancient Purépecha tribe, which built the structure, said the storm could signal impending doom as a similar event happened 'because gods were displeased.'
