Why You Should Go

Palenque is one of the Mayan civilization’s most enigmatic archeological sites. In 1952, the archeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier—together with his team—found the magnificent burial site of lord Pacal inside the structure known as the Templo de las Inscripciones (Temple of Inscriptions). He governed the city between 615 and 683 AD. This famous discovery turned the history of archeology in Mexico on its head. It is a spectacular burial chamber that shelters a type of sarcophagus protected by a stunning and superbly carved tombstone. The sarcophagus holds the remains of the ruler who, while living, ordered the construction of the structure and mausoleum to evoke the journey of the dead to Xibalba, the underworld in Mayan cosmology.
