Tikal Temple VI

[3] The existence of the temple was first reported in 1951 by Antonio Ortiz on behalf of the Instituto de Antropología e Historia (IDAEH - "Institute of Anthropology and History").

[4] The roof comb of the temple is inscribed on its sides and back with a lengthy hieroglyphic text.

[5] The pyramid's summit superstructure contains two chambers,[3] and the highest surviving portion of the temple's roof comb stands 12 metres (40 ft) high.

[6] Some text survives on the left hand side of the front of the monument; it is of excellent quality workmanship and records a date in AD 736.

A part of the stela was reused and fashioned into a metate that was found by locals 0.3 kilometres (0.19 mi) northwest of the temple.
