Reading edition

'Tous les monuments de Palenqué sont orientés aux quatre points cardinaux, avec une variation de 12°.' Waldeck, p. iii. 'Orienté comme toutes les ruines que nous avons visitées.' Charnay, Ruines Amér., p. 424. Others, without having made any accurate observations, speak of them as facing the cardinal points. See Morelet, Voyage, tom. i., p. 276, etc., for the experience of that traveler in getting lost near the ruins.
