[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

In the continuing news of discoveries at Tonina in Chiapas, a wall with a glyphic text with the complete name of a ruler and a stucco portrait of the ruler, K'inich B'aaknal Chaak, and undeciphered features which will help in understanding Maya grammar, have been found. The wall is dated to 708 CE which are indicated by the glyphs. The walls were found in the El Palacio in the Acropolis. Blue and red pigments are still extant on the wall.

INAH has the report here with a good photo;
