[Aztlan] Hieroglyphs at the Sabanas Piletas site deciphered

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

INAH has announced that more than 130 hieroglyphs on the Sabana  
Piletas staircase in Campeche have been deciphered. The text is well  
preserved. The site was occupied 600-1000 AD. Nikolai Grube and Carlos  
Pallan Gayol made the preliminary deciphering. The date on the first 8  
glyphs corresponds to the 18th or 25th of December, 858 CE. Ball game  
glyphs are represented perhaps showing the staircase was a sacrificial  
staircase. There is evidence of a blue stucco covering that would be  
related to sacrifice.
