The Temple of Inscriptions found in the Mayan city of Palenque. Inside the temple houses the sacacopahgus of the great ruler Pikal the Great or K'inich Janahb' Pakal, founded by Alberto Ruz in 1952. This Mayan Temple was named for it’s hieroglyphic texts. The temple however, was built after the chamber was, suggesting that the Pikal had it built for himself[1]. The inside of the temple holds three large panals of heiroglyphs, East, West and Central.
