TEOCALLI OF THE SUN, PALENQUE, YUCATAN

Discovered about 1750; 28 × 38 feet on the ground, about 25 feet high without the “roof-comb,” a feature of the Palenque buildings here particularly well preserved. Like all the structures of the group, this crowns a mound of considerable height. The construction is stone; ornamentation, stucco. Charnay calls attention to the resemblance to a Japanese temple. On pages 210, 235, and 237 constructive features are shown, on page 185 is a reproduction of a tablet from it, and on page 238, second figure, is the ground plan. Page 404 gives another of the group, and page 436 shows geographical location.
