From the announcement: "Within the palaces of the kings who ruled the Maya realm, the preparation and consumption of chocolate was a necessary and prestigious activity. Richly decorated chocolate vessels were present at important feasts, and accompanied the honored dead in their tombs. Probably all royal transactions, including diplomatic visits and marriage negotiations, were sealed by the public drinking of chocolate. What champagne is for western society, chocolate was for the Maya court."
