| The third occurrence of Lord Shield Pacal's birth is on the TI Sarcophagus Lid edge. Here the first five glyphs (1-5) record '8 Ahau 13 Pop/birth/6 Etz'nab 11 Yax.' Three glyph groups later 'Lord Shield Pacal' appears followed by the Palenque emblem glyph. As we shall see later, 6 Etz'nab 11 Yax is the date of Lord Shield Pacal's death: the close association of "Lord Shield" to the two dates above leaves no doubt that the 'birth' which occurred on 8 Ahau 13 Pop is his. |
