Copán

Many volumes have been written about the prehistoric ruins of Guatemala and especially of Copan.

Many of the sculptures in Copan and Palenque to which we have referred contain pictographs and hieroglyphs.

Similarly filed teeth have been discovered at Copan and in caves at Loltun.

Seler attempts to explain this series of 20 gods in another way; see his "Monumente von Copan und Quirigua" , p. 729.

This sign likewise occurs in a very similar form on Altar R of Copan.
