whole panel on an interior mural at Chichen Itza

Where was it, in the nunnery?

I wish I could give you more data, but I believe it was Chichen, an obviously Norse-influenced site, and not Yaxhilan.

I might also note the many sites along the Atlantic seaboard, they finally let the northernmost one, at the very north tip of Newfoundland, be excavated in the Sixties, but there are 30 or 40 others in Newfl. alone, also some 30 in Nova Scotia, some 300 in New England, and a dozen south of that.

Holand and others have found about 200 norse objects in Minnesota, (and a few in Wis, Mich, ND) pertain to the era of 1362 or the Viking era...and then there is that whole fort on the Missouri 25 miles below Pierre, SD, on the east bank, isn't that Norse? Certainly European and medieval.

Yes, as I note the KRS has been debunked to death, but nobody ever seems to really convince anyone but himself, the stone is still there...

Magazines Atlantis Rising and Ancient American,

Site in New Hampshire just N of Boston, very good, aka America's Stonehenge.

Books by Pohl, Horsford, novels about the settlements. According to Edgar Cayce, viking settlements were continual and ongoing 1000-1500 in Massachusetts. Indeed, Mass and RI were Vinland, says he, and the suffix -sett (place of sett-lement, place fit for sett-lement) exists only there on the whole seaboard as a place name: Massachu-setts, Naragan-sett Bay, Nau-set, Somer-set, Assawompsett, Poppones=sett, look at a map, there are hundreds, each one once a Viking farm.

As I recall it the Nunnery, like the other structures at Chichen, had very rough surfaces in its interior spaces. I guess that you might find carvings or bas reliefs there, but honestly, I don't remember any murals or any interior surface finished enough to be suitable for a mural.
