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 far
older than any of the Yucatan sites, and that
it 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 EACH All
the early writer's, native as well as Spanish,
with the exception of Palacio, above quoted,
pass over the great southern metropolis in alb
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 Palac1o
visited the place, it 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 more easily reached today
from Guatemala than from Honduras, in which
latter Republic they are located. One leaves

and either by horseback or cart, journeys east

tan The actual distance travelled cannot be
more than 80 or 40 miles at the outside, but
the road is so rough and winds through coun-
try so mountainous that it takes two days to
reach the ruins after leaving the railroad. The
modern village of Copan, where one can secure
accommodations of Sort is about three-quar-
tiers of a mile from the main group of ruins.
1t is built over part of the site of the ancient
CITY, and has two beautifully sculptured affairs
standing In the plaza under large tree Sew
eral other sculptural monuments to be
found in various pigsties and chicken yards
throughout the village, and there is another
group of two or three, short distance to the
northwest in the campo santo" or burying
ground.
Taking the path leading to the east from the
village, a fifteen minutes walk brings one to
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.

SZONE ALID IDOL 60,

some 800 feet long by $50 wide, is surrounded
on three sides by terrace 10 to 15 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 open side is occupied by
small pyramid about 20 feet high, which,
standing midway between the ends of the ter
race appears to inclose the area. This pyra'
mid, because of it's central position with refer
ence to the Great Plaza, must have been
much more important structure than It's size
would now seem to Indicate Standing on its
summit and looking northward, great open
air auditorium lies at ones feet. Tier upon
tier of stone benches rising around its sides,
and five great monumental states, posted
like gigantic sentinels 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 arcnaelol-
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 It's
sides and excavated it. 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 shaft into the interior OF
the pyramid and found at depth of six feet
from the top an earthen pot which contained
several jade beads, few pearls, 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 depth of nine feet below the level
of the plain, a skeleton of a jaguar was un-
covered.
The use of this pyramid without building
of any kind surrounding it must forever re-
main mystery. Perhaps here in full view OF the
assembled inhabitants of the ancient city were
practiced the bloody rites of human sacrifice;
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 vast open
air auditorium as the Great Plaza indicates
that it 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 Enclosure. or
these, five are now standing and three lie pros
trate. They average not far from IL feet In
height and are about BIZ 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 a human be-
ing sometimes of one sex and sometimes of
the other carved in very high relief, which, in
places, amounts to sculpture in the round. The
clothing and headdresses of these figures are
exceedingly ornate.

Opment. At the very beginning of our study
of Copan we find ourselves confronted with q
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 well as Spanish writer's,
many of whom derived their information 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
measure at least, dispels that darkness and
obscurity which 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 letter to Philip H.. the then king of
Spain In this communication, after a de-
scription of the different buildings, he says he
endeavored to ascertain who the former in
habitants of the city were:
81 endeavored with all possible to
certain from the Indians, through the tradi-
lions derived from the anclents, what people
lived here, or what they knew or had heard
from their ancestors concerning them. But
thew had no books relating to their antiquities,
nor do believe that in all this district there
is more than one, which l possess They say
that in ancient times there came from Yucca
tan a great lord, who built these edifices, but
that at the end of some years he returned to
his native country, leaving them entirely de-
serted"
Unfortunately the reliability Of this tEadi-
ton is disproved by too many different lines
of evidence to permit accepting 1t. In the
first place. the structures of Copan are far too
numerous and massive to have been built
within the span of single life and its elab-
orately sculptured monuments are far too In
tricate to have been carved in one generation
with the tools available Had that Great lord
from Yucatan" lived twice the allotted three
