Almost every Stelae in the Complex of Copan may be grouped by 3, and are
orientated in a specific direction. Stelae D, C and 3 for instance could be
orientated to the North. At the same time they could be orientated towards
Structure 16, the Piramid of the Sculls, the highest structure of the whole
complex.

Besides that, Structure 16 lies in the center of a square made by the
crossing of the Nothern lattitude of 14°50' and the Western Longitude of
89°8', and in the middle of the first zenitpassage for this place. Axis
could be drawn from the North to the South and from the West to the East.

So Structure 16 is not only the highest building of the complex but also the
guiding point for the whole Copan region.

The LC-count of 9.16.12.5.17, 6 Caban 10 Mol or June 30 763AD is a date
which is mentioned on Structure 11, but has anyone ever made an sort of
account of all the dates mentioned on every Stelae of the whole complex?
