Tikal

One of the largest sites of pre-Columbian Mayan ruins, Tikal was once one of the most important cities in the Mayan world.

This symbolical figure is found also at Tikal carved in wood.

The bas-reliefs at Palenque, Lorillard, and Tikal tell this story very plainly.

From Tikal the civilising column advanced towards the north of the peninsula.

Tikal is forty miles north-east of Flores, towards the south of the peninsula.

Mr. Bowditch has included also in his list of kin signs the form shown in figure 34, l, from an inscription at Tikal.
