Itzamna In His Prime

The finest sculptured face yet found in the Maya area, which some claim represents Itzamna, reputed to have come from the eastern seas. This face has an Egyptian appearance. The pendant beard is strikingly like those shown on the sculptered faces of the Pharoahs of Egypt. An archaeologist who spent several years in Yucatan, and wrote a number of volumes, connected the Mayas with the Egyptians. The stela on which this face appears was found in the southern area, or what is termed the old empire.
