Temple 20 (or Temple XX ) is a pyramidal building , dated to between AD 430 and 600 (Early Classic period ), located at the Maya city of Palenque in the state of Chiapas in southern Mexico with a funerary chamber that contains remains of a high ranking character.[1] Merle Greene Robertson has suggested that the vaulted tomb under Temple 20 is that of Queen Ix Yohl Ik'nal .[2]
Exploration
[ edit ]
In 1999 archeologists discovered a tomb inside Temple 20, but any attempt of penetration could lead to damage, due to the uncertain structural state of the pyramid built on top of it.[3]
A small camcorder (4 by 6 centimetres (1.6 by 2.4 in )), lowered to the depth of 5 metres (16 ft ) through a 15 centimetres (5.9 in ) wide hole in an upper floor of the pyramid in April 2011,[3] [4] murals of nine human figures outlined in black against the blood-red background.[5] [6] sarcophagus , it is probable that the skeleton lies on the slabs of the floor.
The INAH Council of Archaeology determined that the pyramidal base must be stabilized before exploration.
Restoration
[ edit ]
Temple 20 was restored by specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) in 2010.[1]
