Can anyone who visited Palenque post an actual photograph of the original carving?
I recently verified that this souvenir was a replica of an actual Mayan inscription/carving. Apparently it was sketched by a well-known mayanist from the ruins in Palenque. I thought it would be cool to see an actual photograph of the original if anyone who visited happened to take any pictures of it. It’s not clear how large it was – the souvenir is pretty small, but the actual carving may have been large – and exactly where in the ruins it was found isn’t clear.. A picture of the souvenir is here: http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae294/sfigurac/Photo_080909_001.jpg A copy of an internet reference to the original is here: http://research.famsi.org/montgomery_list.php?_allSearch=throne&hold_search= Any help would be appreciated. Through more internet research I found out that this inscription came from one of the supports of the throne of the “Great Pakal” a mayan ruler. It was sketched originally by one of the archaeologists as you can see in this link: http://decipherment.wordpress
