Tikal Stela 26 - Two Hieroglyphs: Circa
A.D. 550
(Hieroglyphic Panel Late Early Classic)
These two beautiful hieroglyphs are all that remain of
the inscription of the right side of Stela 26.
The
inscription on the left side is more nearly complete, and
archaeologists believe that these
inscriptions traced the
ancestry, and hence his right to the throne, of the ruler
known as Jaguar Paw II. |
