Evidence found of ancient world war

Excerpts:
A bitter war between rival Maya city-states
may have set the stage for the collapse of
that once-great civilization, say scientists
who translated recently found hieroglyphics
on stone stairs in an ancient pyramid in
Guatemala.
....
�This west section of the steps was very
graphic,� said Fahsen. �It says, �blood
flowed and skulls of the thirteen peoples
of the Tikal place were piled up.� The final
glyphs describe the king of Dos Pilas �doing
a victory dance.� �
Dos Pilas then launched a campaign of conquest
with Calakmul�s backing and became a major
regional power.
�Rather than being an independent actor as
previously thought, it now appears that Dos
Pilas was a pawn in a much bigger battle,�
said Demarest.
