Date: 5th Oct 2023 @ 12:52pm

In today's history lesson we were given a mystery to solve. We were told the story of an archaeologist called Alberto Ruz, who spent time searching through Maya temples in the 1940s. In one of the temples he found evidence of a secret area under the base of the temple. After a long time trying to get into the space, he eventually opened up the hatch to reveal the resting place of the great Maya king Pacal. The children had to work out who this person could have been based on evidence from the tomb.
