Dr. Gann was the first to discover the ruins of the great city of Coba, through information found in a recent translation of the Maya manuscript book. He has also discovered a monolith and a once populous site in the forests of Yucatan. ‘It is a block of greyish schist, 12 feet long, 18 inches wide, and 12 inches thick. It had at one time stood upright, but now lay flat and embedded in the ground. Upon one edge faint traces of sculpture were visible, but the greater part of the exposed surfaces had been worn quite smooth by the tropical downpours of an unknown number of rainy seasons. This has been the fate of many Maya inscriptions.’
