Listeros,
Honduran archaeologists believe they have uncovered the remains of one
of the first kings of Copan in the temple of Oropendola. The bones are
in poor condition due to a roof collapse onto the remains. The bones
belong to a 30 year old man. The teeth are well preserved.
(My note; quite a lot can be learned from the teeth including the
geographic origins of the individual. I will post any further
information)
