About Temple of the Inscriptions

The Temple of the Inscriptions is the biggest Mesoamerican ventured pyramid structure at the pre-Columbian Maya human advancement site of Palenque, situated in the cutting edge territory of Chiapas, Mexico. The structure was explicitly worked as the funerary landmark for K'inich Janaab' Pakal, a jaw or leader of Palenque in the 7th century whose rule over the country endured just about 70 years. Development of this landmark initiated in the most recent decade of his life, and was finished by his child and successor K'inich Kan B'alam II. Inside Palenque, the Temple of the Inscriptions is situated in a region known as the Temple of the Inscriptions' Court and stands at a correct point toward the Southeast of the Palace.

The structure comprises of a "sanctuary" structure that sits on an eight-ventured pyramid for an aggregate of nine dimensions.
