Camera probes unexplored Palenque Mayan tomb
Researchers lowered a small remote controlled camera into a previously unexplored early Mayan tomb at Palenque in southern Mexico. The intact funeral chamber reveals nine black figures on a red background, plus vases and jade ornaments. Archaeologists had known of the tomb since 1999 but could not enter due to instability in the overlying pyramid.
