Description
Inventory #V2A4890. This is the Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque, a Mayan ruin in Chiapas, Mexico. In this temple was discovered the sarcophagus of the ruler Pakal. Palenque grew into a powerful city from the 2nd to the 8th century, AD. The difficulty photographing this temple is the crowd of people always in front of it, walking by, standing and looking. We returned to the site late in the day when there were fewer people and I was able to actually catch it without anyone in front of it!
