Mayan captive

While I'm working on Rusi, another world entered my mind.

I'm thinking what is art history?    This is graffiti I captured 

on film back in 1978.   This graffiti most likely predates the 

               Conquest.  In '78 Tikal was quite difficult to get to.  

Tikal became a tourist destination, before the major 

preservation started. I believe the figure in the center 

is a captive, and in fact the figure to the right also may be.  In 2001, during 

my last trip to Tikal, this image was no longer visible, due to more 

modern graffiti obliterating it.  Art History is only the history

that survives.
