C, MARCH 35, One of the most remarkable fea- tures of the temple was the fact that original paintings executed upon the columns by artists perhaps 1,500 years ago are still plainly legible, and the many colors that the altar itself was painted remain brilliant and preserved today. There are also evidences of beauti- ful paintings both on the inner and outer walls of the temple. For Human Sacrifices. Since it is generally accepted that the Maya people offered human s rifices to thelr gods in times of war and drought, it is not unlikely that this altar was used for sacrificial rites. It was common for the M peopie to hurl their most gifted maidens into a deep sacrificial well as gifts to the god of rain | News of the newly discovered altar | was sent to the office of administra- tion of the Carne Institution of Washington by Dr. Sylvanus G.
