ROYAL TOMB FOUND..
Ruz Speaks to Assembly
By Dick Lewis
Emerald Attittanf Newi Editor
The excitement of discovery was
experienced by the University as
sembly audience Tuesday as Al
berto Ruz recreated the uncover
ing of the royal tomb at Palenque,
one of the great Maya centers in
southern Mexico.
Using color slides, the noted ar
chaeologist, took his audience,
step by step, through the phases
of exploration which finally un
covered the royal tomb. This dis-1
covery is of great importance to
the concepts of new world civili
zation for it is the first time that
this type of royal burial has ever
been uncovered.
Originally Ruz was drawn to the
unexplored temple in search of a
room or series of rooms below the
shrine. Little thought was given
to the huge rock faced pyramid
upon which the temple rested.
These pyramids had always been
considered solid — filled with dirt
and rocks.
Excitement mounted when the
explorers found a huge movable
slab of stone in the temple floor.
Lifting the stone, they found a
passage going down into the cen
ter of the pyramid. But the pass
age had been completely filled
with earth and stones. The work
of clearing the passage took many
months.
Passage Cleared
As the passage was slowly
cleared, Ruz was encouraged as
he found various offerings which
included jade jewelry and a large
pearl.
Deep in the pyramid the archae
ologist found the entrance to a
sealed chamber. In front of the
stone door were the skeletons of
six young people, which indica
ted human sacrifice.
With mounting excitement, the
explorers blasted the stone bar
rier aside. Stepping through the
opening, Rue found himself in a
large stone vault which had been
closed for at least 100 years. The
walls were coated with glistening
Morton Services
Set for Thursday
Memorial services for the late
Edwnrd P. Morton, associate pro
fessor of law, will be held Thurs
day at 4 p. m. in the Eugene Uni
tarian church. A request has been
made that no flowers be sent.
Morton, who came to the Uni
versity in 1948 from the University
of Wyoming law school, died at
his residence in the Eugene Manor
Saturday night. He was 53 years
old. There was r.o indication that
he had been ill prior to his death,
according to Orlando J. Hollis,
dean of the law school.
Morton was teaching courses in
first and third year law. including
torts ana administrative law. He
served as a colonel in the army
dm ing World War II, and had
been active in the reserve officers
program since the war.
limestone, and stalactites hung
from the celling.
On the walls were the carvings
of nine partly human figures, pro
bably the nine gods of darkness.
On the floor Ruz saw various of
ferings, including several stucco
heads which had probably been
broken from complete statues in
other temples. These stone heads
were related to the practice of
human sacrifice by decapitation.
But the striking treasure of the
crypt was the broad, flat five
ton limestone slab which lay in the
center of the room. Ruz at first
thought that this was the end ob
jective of his search.
On the possibility that there
might be something under the
stone slab, the explorers drilled
into the monolithic support. It
was hollow! A wire inserted into
the hole in the stone revealed red
paint. Red is usually connected
with burials in Mayan ceremony.
Truck jacks were used to raise the
slab.
Below the stone. Ruz found an
other rock slab. Lifting this final
stone, he learned the reason for
the hollow pyramid. The party
found human remains, probably of
a high priest or a royal prince.
This was the first and only dis
covery of its kind in the Americas
—royalty buried within a pyra
mid.
The tomb was opened Nov. 28,
1952, almost four years after the
project had been started.
Ruz emphasized that his dis
