opment. At the very beginning of our study
of Copan We find ourselves confronted with a
grave difficulty, namely, the entire absence of
aboriginal tradition concerning the place,
which consequently renders a reconstruction
of the historical background impossible. In
Yucatan we were able to piece together some
what Of the early history of the principal cities.
such as Chichen liza, and Uxmal, from the ac-
count Of native as well as Spanish writer's,
many of whom derived their from
those we'll acquainted with the former history
of the country. And while this information is
often quite fragmentary, nevertheless it sheds
a very considerable light on the pre-Columbian
history of these two northern sites, and in a
measure, at least, dispels that darkness and
o~bscurity which so completely enshrouds al
most all the other great centers Of the Maya
culture.
Concerning the former history Of Copen,
however. we know absolutely nothing, except
ing the tradition of very doubtful value given
below. In 1867, or thereabout, Diego Garcia
de Palacio, an official Of the Audencia of Qua
temala, visited these ruins and later described
them in a letter to Philip H., the then king OF
Spain. In this communication, after a de-
s~cription Of the different buildings, he says he
endeavored to ascertain who the former In
habitants of the city were:
81 endeavored with all possible care to as
certain from the Indians, through the tradi-
lions derived from the a~ncients, what people
lived here, or what they knew or had heard
from their ancestors concerning them. But
they had no books relating to their antiquities,
nor do l believe that in all this district there
is more than one, which | possess. They say
that in ancient times there came from Yucca
tan a great lord, who built these edifces, but
that at the end of some years he returned to
lis native country. leaving them entirely de-
ertedp
Unfortunately, the reliability OF this tradi-
ton Is disproved by too many different lines
Of evidence to permit our accepting It. In the
first place, the structures of Copan are far too
numerous and massive to have been built
within the span Of a single life; and its elab'
,rately sculptured monuments are far too In
tricate to have been carved In one generation
with the tools available. Had that Great lord
from Y~ucatan'' lived twice the allotted three
score years and ten. his life, even then, could

some 300 feet long by $50 wide, is surrounded
on three sides by a terrace 10 to Is feet high.
The interior sides of this are stepped so that
standing in the center of the plaza the effect is
that of a sunken court surrounded on all SIDES
but one, with tiers of stone seats or benches.
The southern or open side Is occupied by a
small pyramid about 20 feet high, Whlcn,
standing midway between the ends OF the ter
race, appears to inclose the area. This pyra-
mid, because of its central position with refer
ence to the Great Plaza, must have been a
much more important structure than its size
would now seem to indicate. Standing on It's
summit and looking northward, a great open
air auditorium lies at ones feet. Tier upon
tier of stone benches rising around its sides,
and five great states, posted
like gigantic s~entinels guarding its sacred pre-
cints.
This mound, so conspicuously located on the
open side of the Great Plaza, attracted the at
tention of the English traveller and archaelol
ogist, Mr.. A. P. Maudslay, who visited Copan
in 1885, spending several months there in pho
tograhping and making molds of the sculptures
and in studying the ruins. He cleared Its
sides and excavated 1t. The summit, he says,
Is very small, and shows no signs of any build
ing ever having stood there. Digging through
the floor he sank a shaft into the interior OF
the pyramid and found at a depth Of six feet
from the top an earthen pot which contained
several jade beads, a few pearls. a jade spin
die whorl, perforated disk, and some roughly
carved pieces of pearl shell. The bottom OF
the pot was covered with some finely ground
cinnabar and several ounces of quick silver.
Fragments of human bones were taken out
during the course Of these excavations and,
finally, at a depth of nine feet below the level
of the plain, a skeleton of a jaguar was un-
covered.
The use Of this pyramid without a building
of any kind surmounting 1t must forever re-
main a mystery. Perhaps here in full view of the
assembled inhabitants of the ancient city were
p~racticed the bloody rites of human sacrifec;
or perhaps the DEGREES of rules or the omens
from above were handed down. Who can say
now? One thing alone seems reasonably GER
tain; the close proximity and commanding
relation Of this pyramid to such a vast open
air auditorium as the Great Plaza indicates
that 1t formerly played some very important
part in the life Of Copan.
The most interesting feature of the Great
Plaza, however, is not this pyramid, but the
great sculptured monuments, which are scat
tered here and there around the inclosure. Oh
these, five are now standing and three lie pros
trate. They average not far from IL feet In
height and are about 3h feet In breadth. The
general treatment Of them all is much the
same. The side facing the plaza is uniformly
sculptured with the likeness Of O human be
ing sometimes Of one sex and sometimes o.
the other, carved In very high relief, which, IL
places, amounts to sculpture in the round. The
clothing and headdresses Of these figures arr
exceedingly ornate.

this time as the result Of a careful

not have embraced one-fourth Of the period of
building activity at Copan.
Again, as We shall see, the hieroglyphic in
scriptions at Copan indicate that it was far
older than any of the Yucatan sites, and that
1t probably had been abandoned many years
before the rise of the great northern cities.
Still another reason for doubling that Copan
was ~colonized from Yucatan arise when we ex-
anime the historical data bearing on each. All

pass over the great southern metropolis in abb
solute silence; but when they come to describe
Yucatan nearly all of them mention the two
largest of the ancient cities there, Chichen
liza and Uxmal, and In some instances even
give brief outlines of their history.
The striking absence of tradition relating
to such an extensive site as Copan can only
indicate one thing-that its fall and subse-
quent desolation had outlived the memory Of
man even at the time of the Spanish Conquest
In 1880; and a generation later, when Palacio
visited the place, 1t had been forgotten SO long
that he was unable to find out anything about
its former history except the very dubious ira
dition given above.
The ruins are more easily reached today
from Guatemala than from Honduras, I'm which
latter Republic they are located. One leaves
the Guatemala Northern railroad at Lacdpd,
and either by horseback or cart, journeys east
ward for two days, stopping overnight at Jaco,
tan. The actual distance Travelled cannot be
more than IS or 40 miles at the outside, but
the road Is so rough and winds through coun-
try so mountainous that 1t takes two days to
reach the ruins after leaving the railroad. The
modern village of Copan, where one can secure
accommodations of a sort, is about three-quar-
tiers of a mile from the main group Of ruins.
1t is built over a part Of the site Of the ancient
city, and has two beautifully sculptured affairs
standing in the plaza under a large tree. Sew.
eral other sculptural monuments are to be
found In various pigsties and chicken yards
throughout the village, and there Is another
group Of two or three, a short distance to the
northwest in the campo santo" or buryine
ground.
Taking the path leading to the east from the
village, a fifteen minutes walk brings one t
the entrance on the west side of the Great
Plaza, the largest and doubtless the most i'm
portant court in the city. This imposing area

D%aggIeberry Has Come to the Con-

Daggleberry is in despair. It's all
on account Of a cane that was pre-

Sure enough he did. He left II in

before a clerk came running after
him with the cane and received Dag
