O Templo das Inscrições é a estrutura piramidal da Mesoamérica local da civilização pré-colombiana maia de Palenque, localizada no estado moderno de Chiapas, México. A estrutura foi construída especificamente como o monumento funerário de Pakal K'inich Janaab ', ajaw ou governante de Palenque, no século VII, cujo reinado sobre o governo durou quase 70 anos. A construção deste monumento começou na última década de sua vida, e foi concluído por seu filho e sucessor K'inich Kan B'alam II. Dentro de Palenque, o Templo das Inscrições, está localizado em uma área conhecida como o Templo do Tribunal das Inscrições de estandes e em ângulos retos a sudeste do Palácio. O Templo das Inscrições, tem sido bastante significativo no estudo dos antigos maias, devido à amostra extraordinária de textos hieroglíficos encontrados nas Tábuas da Inscrição, os painéis de esculturas impressionantes sobre os pilares do edifício, e também encontras dentro da tumba de Pakal. O Templo das Inscrições foi concluído pouco tempo depois de 683 D.C. --- The Temple of the Inscriptions (Classic Maya: Bʼolon Yej Teʼ Naah (Mayan pronunciation: ɓolon jex teʔ naːh]) 'House of the Nine Sharpened Spears') is the largest Mesoamerican stepped pyramid structure at the pre-Columbian Maya civilization site of Palenque, located in the modern-day state of Chiapas, Mexico. The structure was specifically built as the funerary monument for K'inich Janaab' Pakal, ajaw or ruler of Palenque in the 7th century whose reign over the polity lasted almost 70 years. Construction of this monument commenced in the last decade of his life, and was completed by his son and successor K'inich Kan B'alam II. Within Palenque, the Temple of the Inscriptions is located in an area known as the Temple of the Inscriptions’ Court and stands at a right angle to the Southeast of the Palace. The Temple of the Inscriptions has been significant in the study of the ancient Maya, owing to the extraordinary sample of hieroglyphic text found on the Inscription Tablets, the impressive sculptural panels on the piers of the building, and the finds inside the tomb of Pakal. The structure consists of a 'temple' structure that sits atop an eight-stepped pyramid (for a total of nine levels). The five entrances in the front of the building are surrounded by piers bearing both carved images and the hieroglyphic texts in Maya script for which the temple was named. Inside the temple, a stairway leads to the crypt containing the sarcophagus of Pakal. The Temple of Inscriptions gets its name from three hieroglyphic tablets, known as the East Tablet, the Central Tablet, and the West Tablet, on the temple's inner walls. These tablets emphasize the idea that events that happened in the past will be repeated on the same calendar date, a theme also found in the Books of Chilam Balam, and constitute one of the longest known Maya inscriptions (617 glyphs). Columns E through F mark the beginning of a record of various events in Pakal's life that continues until the last two columns on the tablets, which announce his death and name Kan B'alam II as his heir. All of the tablets, excluding the final two columns, were completed during Pakal's lifetime.
