MAYAN KING'S TOMB FOUND IN GUATEMALA

Archaeologists digging in Guatemala’s jungle-covered Peten region have discovered a Mayan royal tomb packed with a hoard of carvings, ceramics and children's bones.Dating from about 350 to 400 A.D., the unlooted tomb, about 6 feet high, 12 feet long, and 4 feet wide, lay hidden beneath the El Diablo pyramid in the city of El Zotz. The archaeologists, led by Stephen Houston, professor of anthropology at Brown University in Providence, R.I., were investigating the site of a small temple when they came across a series of blood-red bowls. They contained the remains of human teeth and fingers. Perfectly preserved for over 1,600 years, there was a tomb filled with pieces of wood, textiles, thin layers of painted stucco, cord and ceramics.
