Despite excavation work carried out since the 19th century, the dimensions of the Temple of the Inscriptions - 23 meters in height and with nine stone levels - kept the burial chamber of the King Pacal hidden until 1952. Even today, most of these ruins remain buried in dense jungle. *This model was designed for Papercraft and may differ from the original in some respects.
