Ancient Inscriptions Decoded at the Spectacular Temple of the Mayan King Pakal

Hieroglyphic inscriptions on the tomb of an ancient Mayan King have been translated more than 60 years after archaeologists discovered the hidden burial crypt in the rainforests of Mexico.
The glyphs were found on the spectacular Temple of the Inscriptions of Palenque which houses a tomb attributed to the ancient Mayan King Pakal. The newly-deciphered glyphs read “The House of the Nine Sharpened Spears”, revealed a team of researchers led by epigraphist Guillermo Bernal Romero from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).


Bernal, from UNAM’s Mayan Studies Center, and colleagues have deciphered the Mayan glyph T514, “Yej”, which means “cutting edge”, reports Latin-American news site Prensa Latina. The Yej glyph was found 63 years ago at the top of the Temple of the Inscriptions in Chiapas, Mexico, which holds the tomb of the most famous king of Palenque, K'inich Janaab' Pakal. Once translated, the glyph, or badge, was identified in more than 50 other inscriptions “depicting events like taking war prisoners, military entries to cities and other martial events of the Maya Classic period.”

2. Tremendous photos, actual name for the construction, & news less than 10% is revealed currently!

Can't wait until more is learned.

It seems miraculous that there is any means at all to have learned this much.

Thanks for your unfailing eye for exceptional information.
