Calm Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 The deactivation of the masks is a fascinating idea.I want this stuff as a wallpaper border to go down my hallway.
KevinG Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I wish I were near President Monson so I could tease him about being part of the dedication ceremony. The Apostles like old age jokes right?

He responded,Actually very similar “masks”are known from other “temples” as for example at El Mirador, but they have not been quite so spectacularly colored nor preserved. Houston (non-Mormon) was a professor at BYU for eight years or so before Brown U. offered him a pot of gold, so to speak. He is pictured in a group photograph in the back section of my Images book.Images of Ancient America, page 218
