INAH scientists discovered the object carved in stone containing the text of a grapheme measuring just over 11 square meters, in the archaeological zone of Coba, in Quintana Roo, also known as Nohoch Mul.
INAH director Diego Prieto explained that the tablet featured 123 L-shaped hieroglyphic cartouches belonging to the Keh Witz Nal people.
In Prieto’s words, their research led to identifying the name of a sovereign, K’awiil Ch’ak Cheen, for the first time, thus helping fill a historical gap in the dynastic sequence of Coba.
