I am looking for the word "estela".

Encontré esta palabra aquí pero voy buscando la palabra por piezas largas de piedra de los mayas.

I am sure that I chopped this sentence to pieces.

Isn't the word estela correct here?

I got this from the R.A.E.

  1. f. Señal o rastro de espuma y agua removida que deja tras sí una embarcación u otro cuerpo en movimiento.

  2. f. Rastro que deja en el aire un cuerpo en movimiento.

  3. f. Rastro o huella que deja algo que pasa.

  4. Monumento conmemorativo que se erige sobre el suelo en forma de lápida, pedestal o cipo.

Are you talking about the carved stones at the Mayan ruins with the Mayan calendars and similar notations?
