INTRODUCTION
"I entered to mysterious chamber with the strange sensation to be the first who stepped the one
thousand years echelons. I tried to se it with the same eyes as seen by Palenque Priests leaving the crypt;
I wanted to erase the centuries and listen the last human voices vibrations; I tried to understand that the
ancient Maya had left untouched. Through a veil of time I was looking for the impossible link between
their lives and ours."
Alberto Ruz L'huillier, related to Pakal's
tomb discovery ,in
1952.
