HIEROGLYPHIC STAIRCASE

Its steps contain 84 hieroglyphs and its
analysis indicate that originally these
belonged to two staircases of constructions
of the Late Classic (600 - 900 AD) which
were reassembled in the Terminal Classic
(900-1000 AD). However, these glyphs
contain the date 649 AD and among them
three Edzna rulers are mentioned: Sih Chan
Kawiil, Kal Chan Chaahk, and Ix B'aah Pahk'.
The first one is also mentioned in Stele 18; the
second is quoted in Steles 21 and 22; while
the third person, a woman, is also registered
in Stele 20.
