Finest Specimen Of Aboriginal Amer

The remarkable hieroglyphic stair

many ways the most important and in

American architecture that has ever
been brought to light by the excava-
tions of the archaeologist. Ten years
ago it was practically unknown, but
since then it has been uncovered and
studied as a whole by the various Co
pan expeditions of the Peabody mu,
scum of American archaeology and
ethnology at Harvard, under the di-
rection of George B. Gordon, whose
elaborate report or the discovery and
restoration of the stairway-just is

were no more than a shadowy legend

Mexico; and in spite of the fact that
the steps of the stairway carry, craven

At one end of the main structure of
Copan, as the %acropolis of the city is
called, a broad pyramid, which at one
time was crowned by some public
buiding-a temple or palace-rises to
a height of about So feet. On the
western slope of this pyramid is the
hieroglyphic stairway, originally af-
fording access from a square or plaza
below to the temple above and a sys-
tenn of t~erraced courts beyond. At
some time in the past, however, a land
slide swept away the symmetry of
two large faces of the pyramid and
brought down the upper steps of the
great staircase in an almost indistin-
guishabIe mass of debris which COM
pletely buried the lower stairs, so that
when Mr.. Gordon first visited Copan
the whole plan of the stairwaywa vas en-
tirely obliterated. and the pyramid it.
self was little more than an overgrown
mound of earth and broken stones.
Four entire seasons were required
to bring something like order out of
this chaos. From so to 100 laborers
were at one time constantly employed,
and the fragments which were re-
moved covered an acre of ground.

tity or their relative positions, how
