A mysterious ancient palatial complex was excavated by archaeologists in southern Mexico which was dedicated to Maya's terrifying death god.

The monstrous deity was known as Ah Puch, or Cizin and his name was translated as “stench”, “flatulence” and “The Stinking One”. He ruled above the hellish realm and was also known as the god of farts.&nbsp;

The archaeologists made the discovery during a train station's construction, which was taking place near the ancient Maya&nbsp;site of Calakmul.

Calakmul existed in the Maya lowlands and was the largest and most powerful pre-Columbian city.&nbsp;

As per the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the complex of the temple was most probably linked with a smaller settlement known as Balamkú, which was most likely heavily influenced by Calakmul.

<h2>What&nbsp;all is hidden in this demonish god's temple?&nbsp;</h2>

The INAH, speaking about the discovery in a statement, said that the complex appeared to date back to the Early Classic Period, which lasted between around 250 and 600 CE.&nbsp;

At the site, the most notable structures were a small temple, which researchers said was most probably built in honour of Old Stinky.

In the excavations, a circular feature at the centre of the temple was revealed and inside this temple, there were numerous human remains, which included fragments of skull and teeth.

The archaeologists, along with the grisly leftovers, also discovered a 25-centimetre high (9.8 inches) limestone statue of the death god Ah Puch.

It is believed that the god of death and destruction reigned over a level inside the&nbsp;Maya underworld, which was called Xibalbá, which roughly translates into “the place of terror”.&nbsp;

As per the legend, the dreadful deity had the task of burning the souls of those dead, which he started from the mouth and anus.&nbsp;

The INAH explained that the statue of Ah Puch has a deformed skull and a “large phallus”.&nbsp;

The statue also sports a skull mask, nose adornment and breastplate, which are generally present in the depiction of the&nbsp;death god.
