Was anybody from BYU involved in this archeological expedition? Check out the following from the Washington Post story today, particularly the following:
The 30 feet of west wall mural, the excavation of which began in 2004, shows the son of the Corn God establishing land, water and air, and paradise in the east where the sun rises. The next section shows the Corn God’s coronation, followed by death and resurrection. The last section shows the coronation of a Mayan king, claiming his crown in the company of the gods….three doors into the chamber were on the now-destroyed east wall, making the west wall the first and most arresting sight for new arrivals. “Our best guess is that this was a preparation room, where the king would rehearse the mythology for ceremonies” outdoors, Saturno said.
Is it possible that this is a temple room showing the creation, the story of Jesus Christ and how a Mayan can be crowned a King of Israel? I have not seen the mural, so I may be way off, but I find this description fascinating. What think ye, M* readers?
