Palenque |
|
The most famous part of the awe-inspiring sacred city of Palenque is the Temple of Inscriptions that was built about 692AD. The grave of the priest-king Pacal Votan was discovered 80 feet down a hidden stairway. His skeleton was covered with jade ornaments and a jade mask. This was probably the most visited pilgrimage shrines in the Mayan territories.
