Quotes[edit]

This website is not active and when I look at it through an internet archive this quote is in spanish and not attributed to a particular work, and although the title of the page is the epigraphic atlas of peten phase one, that is not actually accurate as the epigraphic atlas of petan phase one only mentions yuri twice, does not contain this quote, and is not written by him.

Dmitri Beliaev Mónica de León Alexandre Tokovinine
