Copan acropolis

The individual in tlie central tomb was an older male, between 50 and 60 years of age, and his skeleton showed a number of old breaks and lesions that were probably the result of conflict and warfare. Certainly, the age of the individual, the wounds he had suffered, and the probable place of birth correspond with what we know of Yax Kuk Mo . This is likely his tomb and his skeleton at the base of the Copan acropolis.
