Again, as we shall see. the hieroglyphic In

The striking absence of tradition relating
to such an extensive site as Copan can only
indicate one thing--that its fall and subse-

man even at the time Of the Spanish Conquest
In 1880; and a generation later when Palacio

opment At the very beginning of our study
Of Copan We hnd ourselves confronted with q
grave difnculty. namely. the entire absence of
aboriginal tradition concerning the place.
which consequently renders 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 a. Chichen TIA, and Uxmal. from the ac-
count Of native as well as Spanish writer's,
many Of whom derived their information from
those well acquainted with the former history
Of tho country. And while this information is
often quite fragmentary nevertheless It sheds
. very considerable light on the reColumban
history Of these two northern sites. and In
measure. at least. dspels that darkness and
obscurity 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
dc Palacio. an oficial 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 de-
scrfption Of the different buildings. he says he
endeavored to ascertain who the former In
habitants of the city were:
Il endeavored with all possible care to as
certain from the Indians, through the tradi-
lions derived from the ancisnts. 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 believe that In all this district there

This mound, 50 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 It. The summit he says,
10 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 depth Of six feet
from the top an earthen pot which contained
several jade beads q 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. skeleton Of jaguar was UNI
covered.
