- Summary:
- Exhibition shows the importance of the rulers of the Maya Classic period (250-900 AD), power, symbolism and divine, through the display of masks, grave objects, and funerary complexes of the rulers buried in five major temples of Mayan cities: Palenque, Calakmul, Dzibanché, Oxkintok and Rovirosa. The research and restoration of the 13 masks, allowed the identification in 8 of them the faces of nobles of the Classic period, possibly contributing to the rise of dynastic power of civilization, in the remaining 6, images of deities used to monitor the actions of the Lords Maya. In each case, the body and face of the rulers were reflected in elements that characterized and made possible identification, the incorporation of the funerary objects, in turn, gave them divine powers to confront the lords of death in the underworld and ascend to the celestial plane become the god of corn.
