Sarcophagus lid from King Pacal's Tomb c. 680 A.D. Temple of Inscriptions Palenque One of the most magnificent and famous pieces of Maya art yet discovered,King Pacal's sarcophagus lies deep within Palenque's Temple of Inscriptions. King Pacal was one of the longest ruling kings in history and left behind a grandlegacy in the monuments of Palenque.  Laser etched into a piece of black slate and displayed on a wood stand or included wall hanger.  This tablet is also known as the Ancient Astronaut Tablet because it appears king Pacal is guiding a spaceship or looking through a telescope or other technology.  These observations have fueled decades' worth of speculation about "ancient astronauts."
