MEXICO CITY (Jan) - Following last October's discovery of an enormous (four meters by three) monolith during excavation on a lot wedged between the Templo Mayor or Great Temple, the refurbished citadel of the Aztec gods, and the Metropolitan Cathedral just off the great Zocalo plaza in the heart of the old quarter here, tens of thousands of Mexicans descended upon the site determined to catch a glimpse of what the press had dubbed "La Diosa" (the Goddess.) Police had to be summoned to contain the onlookers.
