Listeros,

A tomb at Copan has yielded textiles that reveal the Maya created  
high quality fabrics woven by highly skilled artisans. At one  
offertory platform, there were 25 layers of fabrics made up of  
different fabric structures, color, yarn size, some with very high  
thread count equal to modern fabrics.
