Spanish artillery Captain Antonio del RÃo's ca. 1745-ca. 1789 discovery of tangible evidence of an amazingly rich Maya past and this printed report were the beginning of the study of this truly lost civilization. In May 1786 upon the order of the Spanish Crown Governor and Brigadier General of the Royal Audencia of Guatemala Don José EstacherÃa sent RÃo to Chiapas to investigate rumors of an ancient city near Santo Domingo del Palenque and determine the origin of its inhabitants. Rio was preceded by other visitors to Palenque the most recent being two brief forays by José Antonio Calderón a local official and Spanish architect Antonio Bernasconi whose sparse observations prompted the order for the full-scale investigation by RÃo. The Spanish captain made up for his lack of antiquarian training with his zeal hiring seventy-nine Maya locals to assault with crowbars and axes the abandoned tree-engulfed seventh-century city of Palenque. In his report RÃo describes and comments on the hieroglyphs he saw. RÃo sent his manuscript report to Guatemalan Governor José EstacherÃa and it was preserved in Madrid.
