Probably an urban myth. That's nutty, bizarre behaviour not remotely connected to the way JWs think or act. May be true if the site was sold to them to build on and they had full planning, but even then they'd first try to use what existed.

Jehovah's Witnesses Destroy Ancient Indigenous Temple in Mexico
http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Jehovahs-Witnesses-Destroy-Ancient-Indigenous-Temple-in-Mexico-20160628-0009.html

Members of the Christian sect Jehovah's Witness reportedly destroyed a
sacred Indigenous archaeological heritage site in central eastern Mexico in
an act of apparent religious intolerance, claiming the traditional rituals
practiced at the ancient ceremonial place were “not Christian,” local media
reported Monday.

The attack on the more than 7,000 year-old Makonikha sanctuary in the
central Mexican state of Hidalgo destroyed at least a dozen stone
structures used as altars in the spirituality of the Otomi Indigenous
people.

Members of the Christian sect say the destruction was motivated by a belief
that the ancient Indigenous religion involved devil worship. The
perpetrators claim that they were following the word of god by destroying
the temple site.

[facepalm, headdesk]

The ancient religion of the Otomi people traditionally holds sacred various
deities including earth, water, and fire, and reveres their gods with
offerings.

According to anthropologists cited by the Mexican daily La Jornada,
Mayonikha for the Otomi — whose territory spreads across central Mexico in
at least eight modern-day states — is comparable in significance to Mecca
for Muslims or the Vatican for Catholics.
