These uplifted arms caused projections alongside the pair of heads, so that a stone lintel which rested solely on the i…

Chichen Itza Inscriptions and the Maya Correlation Problem
Numerous calendric hieroglyphs of inscriptions at Chichen Itza have been deciphered, with the result that a large body of new material is available for a fresh approach to a solution of the Maya correlation problem. Furthermore, there has appeared a new method of interpreting native time counts which will necessitate revised ideas concerning the chronology of inscriptions, of architecture, of cultural changes, and of historical events at Chichen …
