Inscribed bricks that bear the " Mason's Symbols " that were used in ancient Rome and Greece at that time. One more major historical find of modern times, of which few people are aware. Does it prove Romans had contact with the Maya 1000 years prior to Columbus and his historic arrival in the New World?
Maya Nobels were buried with sumptuous offerings and favorite articles such as wood carvings, shark teeth and tails of stingrays and of course chocolate. Compare Burial urns ( sajal ) and method of burials here and at Palenque with those of India and Southeast Asia.
