Stephen Houston of Brown University and colleagues found the tomb from 350-400 BC (BC).
The tomb is full of carvings, ceramics, textiles, and bones of six children. It is possible the children were sacrificed at the death of the king.
This tomb is located in the bottom of the pyramid of El Diablo in the city of El Zotz. "When entering into the hole a small room of the temple, we found a series of 'secret place' bowl of red blood containing the human finger and a tooth substitute organic ingredients wrapped in duct tape."
Then this team dig layer after layer of mud flat stones that make the tomb was intact and airtight, says Stephen Houston. The team lowered the lamp into the hole and suddenly Houston to see "The explosion of red, green, yellow in all directions."
The tomb was full of the organic kingdom. Houston said the tomb had never seen like this before. "When I open the tomb, I peered into my strange smell and purification and makes my skin crawl," said Houston.
"The room was well sealed for more than 1,600 years, and there was no water and air in," he added. According to Maya archeologist who also joined the team, they believe the tomb is a tomb of the king of the Maya hieroglyphic texts based on it.
"These items are rich in artistic, and a tremendous key to Mayan history. From the position of the tomb, time, wealth, and re-construction of the tomb, we believe that this tomb of the founder of the dynasty," said Houston.
"We still have a lot of homework. Royal tomb is very solid and take years to understand it. "He said.
