Text Appearing Before Image:
liar order. Any date in the chronicles is definite for a cycle of thirteen times twenty or 260 years. But by putting down all the katuns. which passed, whether or not there were historical entries opposite them, the Maya his- torian prevented confusion in the 260- year cycles and actually carried the historical count over a stretch of seventy katuns, or fourteen hundred years, be- fore the coming of the Spaniards.
Text Appearing After Image:
Typical vaulted room illustrating the archi- tectural skill of the Maya builders. The vault is a solid concrete mass covered by a veneer of nicely dut facing stones The plumed serpent in the sculptiu-ed lower chamber of the Temple of the Jaguars. Tliis may be identified with Kukulcan, the Maya equivalent of Quetzalcoatl (Drawn from carving in illustra- tion at bottom of preceding page) Now let us glance at the second line of research — the inscriptions. These are found on monolithic monuments, lintels, tablets and other objects. The inscriptions of the greatest value to the student of ancient American history are those expressing dates in the so-called archaic Maya calendar. This archaic calendar is essentially the same as the one used in the Books of Chilan Balam
