OLDEST 1cITY". IN AMERICA
Scientists Discover copan Buried In
the Forests OF Honduras, Was
Once Busy Center.

You were doubtless taught that st.
Augustine. Fla, is the Oldest city in
America, ana so far as settlements by
Europeans are concerned that is prob
ably correct, but scientists know Of a
oity 80 old that there is no telling
when 1t was built. and they often
speak Of 1t az "the Oldest city in
America" This "city" Is Copan, bu-
ried in the forests Of Honduras, near
the Guatemala boundary line. It is
not city in the modern sense Of the
word. for it Is only heap Of ruins.
but there Is enough to show that at
some time centuries and centuries ago
1t was busy center Of population.
Then the Maya Indians of Yucatan
and Central America were at the
height of their civilization. They
built cities by constructing the bases
Of great pyramids out of blocks Of
stone Of enormous size. These blocks
were taken from quarries some times
two miles distant, were conveyed to
the "city" and placed In the wall in
perfect order, and yet 1t is not known
that the Mayas had any machinery
for handling such heavy material.
The pyramidal base Of Copan is
built up to considerable height, and
upon the fiat top are placed the pal
aces. the affairs and other smaller
pyramids. From all evidence Copan
was in ruins when Cortez conquered
Mexico in 1921. The Spaniard and his
soldiers passed withiY short distance
Of 1t and did not see the town at all,
80 it must have been deserted even
then. And yet tie ruins of Copan
bear evidence Of having lain there.
buried amid the luxuriant foliage Of
Honduras, for ages, and only some
crude inscriptions on the rocks can
give clue to the history Of the won
derful place. These Inscriptions and
carvings still defy solution. There are
statues and images made Of rock, but
they are meaningless. Copan's history
10 unknown and so scientists are
wont to speek of it as the Oldest city
in America"
