Tikal Stelae 23, 29, and 31
In 2016, I was granted access to the old Sylvanus Morley Museum, which had been closed since 2012 when most of its collection was moved to the (then) new Tikal site museum, Centro de Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural del Parque Nacional Tikal. Still in the old museum building in 2016 were Stelae 23, 29, and 31, which are presented here (photographed April 29, 2016).
