A few meters (yards) away from the altar was an unfinished stela standing 1.7 meters (5 feet 6 inches) tall. The pieces are thought to have been made between 800 and 500 B.C., about the same age as another altar and a relief depicting three catsIt's obviously a feline run society. The 'stela' is actually a giant scratching post. And the relief represents the 3 wise cats. The cats probably had voyaged from Egypt.

My sweetie & I took a Caribbean cruise earlier in the spring, stopping in Costa Maya. They told us that there are something like a thousand ancient sites that have been found, but not thoroughly excavated yet. Lots of entertainment for archeologists down there.

The pieces are thought to have been made between 800 and 500 B.C., about the same age as another altar and a relief depicting three cats .... The latest discoveries ..appears to date from the Late Classical period of the Olmec culture, A.D. 700-900, archaeologist Carolina Meza said.
