perhaps these stelae depicted not gods, but kings, maya kings on their ascent to power. might the glyphs have recorded their births and ascent to the throne ? proskouriakoff carefully charted these dates. then she theorized that as each new ruler was seated the previous ruler had died. from the birth of one ruler to the ascent of the next, the span of dates never exceeded a human lifetime. clearly, this is not a portrait of a god, but of a young king on a throne. from below, he is watched by a woman -- perhaps his wife or mother. for the first time, the glyphs were revealing maya history. stuart: somebody came up and said "you hear that tatiana is working on a dynasty, "a king list from piedras negras ?" and everybody went, "oh, come on, this just can't be true." and i remember that vividly. and then i remember afterwards, when the publication came out, how clear it all looked. it was as if we only had a hint of what the maya were. we thought they were astronomers and priests. and then all of a sudden, the glass is wiped clean, and there are people looking through. there

daddy king, martin luther king jr.'s father, used to say to him over and over again, "make it plain, son. make it plain." by marching to the steps of the lincoln memorial, we were trying to make it plain. not just to politicians, but to the american people. i said to some of my staff, i said it to the people in the student nonviolent coordinating committee. i said it to dr. king and the people at sclc from time to time. we have to pace ourselves because our struggle is not a struggle that lasts for one day, or one week, or one month, or one year, or one lifetime. it's an ongoing struggle. i said it to some of my colleagues in the congress. we must take the long hard look, but also believe in a sense of urgency. when people are hurting, when people are suffering, you must be ready to move. you must be ready to act. and how long can people suffer? how long can people starve? and if we make a decision between children and military might? or make a decision between more bombs, more missiles, more guns, and mothers and child
