Dear Listeros,
I have another query on monument fragments to ask the group. In looking for
the oldest known long counts, I find only drawings of Chiapa de Corzo Stela
2 (36 BC) and only photos of the bottom half of Tres Zapotes Stela C (32
BC). The top half of this important monument (for which I can only find
drawings) was reportedly found by a farmer in 1969, but where is it now?
Does anyone know where these two monuments are currently and any
publications that provide photos? As far as I am aware, they are the two
oldest long counts we know of and the only ones from the BC period.
Thanks, Ed
