The Hollow Earth sequence quietly revealed the death of one of Godzilla's ancestors. It's known from the movie that he and others like him were involved in a Titan War with Kong's kind thousands of years ago. The two sharing some sort of ancient rivalry was teased by cave paintings in Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Not much is known about the history of Godzilla's species, but it has become clear that just like Kong, Godzilla is the last of his kind. At least one of his ancestors, and possibly more, was killed by some of his oldest enemies, the MUTOs. A skeleton of one of his ancestors, named in the credits as "Adam," was shown at the beginning of the 2014 film. Apparently, the MUTOs killed Adam and laid eggs inside his body. All that's left of his species at this point in the MonsterVerse is Godzilla himself, who has been preserving the balance of nature alone for several millennia. Based on the backstory given to Godzilla and Kong in the MonsterVerse, it's implied that some members of his species died at the hands of Kong. How one, in particular, lost their life was revealed in the scene where Kong obtained his axe: the ape was seen pulling it out of a Titan skull. The identity of this skeleton has been debated by fans, with some thinking that it belongs to a Skullcrawler or some other kind of giant monster. Many feel that it can't be Godzilla because of the shape of the skull, but given that it does look a bit like the skeleton from the 2014 movie, the connection doesn't appear to be impossible. Furthermore, the official Godzilla vs. Kong novelization proves the Godzilla theory to be correct by confirming the resemblance. In the book, Rebecca Hall's Ilene Andrews identified it based on images she had seen from the Godzilla skeleton found in the Philippines. As for what happened to it, it would seem that an ancient Kong killed it by plunging the axe into its skull. What's interesting about that is that the skull is much bigger than Godzilla's, indicating that Godzilla either isn't at his maximum height yet or some of his ancestors were somehow bigger than him. If this ancient Godzilla was even larger than the MonsterVerse's version, it's possible that it took multiple Kongs to bring it down. Or, just one Kong prevailed by landing a fatal blow to the head, something that the MonsterVerse's Kong wasn't able to do in the movie perhaps indicating the Kongs of ancient times were also bigger. It's hard to say how many of Godzilla's species died during the war, or how many even participated. Regardless, there's a good chance that the dead one found in the Hollow Earth temple wasn't the only casualty its side suffered. After all, the axe used to kill it is unlikely to have made been from a living Godzilla. It's possible that Godzilla's kind was decimated by the war, especially if Kong had them outnumbered. If so, that surely would have fueled his hatred for the giant ape.
