      Now i know how Ancient Mayan kings were buried! thumbs up for this site!
  • The king was found lying on his back, adorned with a green jadeite necklace bearing the carved head of a vulture, and ear spools inlaid with obsidian. A jadeite bead the size of a cherry was found in the king's mouth. The green stone was an ancient Maya metaphor for life and breath.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • "The jadeite vulture pendant is particularly significant,"
  • "The bird is the quintessential sign of kingship in the ancient Maya world. We also believe that this is a royal tomb from the sheer complexity of the burial ritual."
  • Unlike most royal burials, however, the La Milpa tomb was not built within a pyramid, but dug into the site's main plaza. Because of its location the tomb escaped the notice of looters who ravaged the site in the 1970s

Ancient Maya Mural at San Bartolo, Guatemala Tell Story of Myths and Kings - 0 views

      This site isn't very good, but it has a few small interesting facts, but mostly of no use.
  • Before the excavation of the vividly painted mural, there was scant evidence of the existence of early Maya kings or of their use of elaborate art and writing to establish their right to rule.
  • ancient Maya art that reveals the story of creation, the mythology of kingship and the divine right of a king.

      I am.... shocked. I don't think that this site has much to do with ancient Maya... Possibly the worst site i have yet to find.

      This has good information, but a bit complicated and difficult to understand.
