His father was K'ihnich Muwahn Jol II, who was either the 23rd or 24th king of the Tikal dynasty; Nuun Ujol Chaahk, future king of Tikal, was either his brother or half-brother. At the age of 6, he carried out a pre-accession ritual. At the age of 9 or 10, he carried out another pre-accession ritual where a royal insignia was imposed that consisted of a wide ribbon on the forehead knotted behind, occurred in Tikal. And during his childhood years an event of escape or exile is narrated that is not clear, but years later he returned to Tikal; other authors suggest that it is another pre-accession event.

Dos Pilas
Dos Pilas is a Pre-Columbian site of the Maya civilization located in what is now the department of Petén, Guatemala. It dates to the Late Classic Period, and was founded by an offshoot of the dynasty of the great city of Tikal in AD 629 in order to control trade routes in the Petexbatún region, particularly the Pasión River.Salisbury, Koumenalis & Barbara Moffett 2002. In AD 648 Dos Pilas broke away from Tikal and became a vassal state of Calakmul, although the first two kings of Dos Pilas continued to use the same emblem glyph that Tikal did.Webster 2002, p. 263. It was a predator state from the beginning, conquering Itzan, Arroyo de Piedra and Tamarindito. Dos Pilas and a nearby city, Aguateca, eventually became the twin capitals of a single ruling dynasty. The kingdom as a whole has been named as the Petexbatun Kingdom, after Lake Petexbatún, a body of water draining into the Pasión River. Dos Pilas gives an important glimpse into the grea ...

Maya Religion
The traditional Maya or Mayan religion of the extant Maya peoples of Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras, and the Tabasco, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Campeche and Yucatán states of Mexico is part of the wider frame of Mesoamerican religion. As is the case with many other contemporary Mesoamerican religions, it results from centuries of symbiosis with Roman Catholicism. When its pre-Hispanic antecedents are taken into account, however, traditional Maya religion has already existed for more than two and a half millennia as a recognizably distinct phenomenon. Before the advent of Christianity, it was spread over many indigenous kingdoms, all with their own local traditions. Today, it coexists and interacts with pan-Mayan syncretism, the 're-invention of tradition' by the Pan-Maya movement, and Christianity in its various denominations. Sources of traditional Mayan religion The most important source on traditional Maya religion is the Mayas themselves: the incumbents of positions w ...

Itzan
Itzan is a Maya archaeological site located in the municipality of La Libertad in the Petén Department of Guatemala.Ponciano 1991, p.232. Various small structures at the site were destroyed in the 1980s during oil exploration activities by Sonpetrol and Basic Resources Ltd, prompting rescue excavations by archaeologists. In spite of its small size, the site appears to have been the most politically important centre in its area, as evidenced by its unusually large quantity of monuments and the size of its major architecture.Ponciano 1991, pp.234-235. The site was first occupied in the Middle Preclassic, with occupation continuing to the Late Classic. Location The ruins are northwest of the Dos Pilas archaeological site on the bank of a minor tributary of the Pasion River.Sharer & Traxler 2006 , p.387. The city was on a natural hilltop surrounded by ravines and seasonal swamps.Ponciano 1991, p.234. The tributary of the Pasion River has its origin in Laguna Itzan, a small lake to ...

Wak Chanil Ajaw
Lady Six Sky (possibly Ix Wak Chan Jalam Ajaw Lem? in ancient Mayan), also known as Lady Wac Chanil Ahau or Wak Chanil Ajaw (d. 741 CE), was a Maya queen of Naranjo who was born in Dos Pilas. She lived in Naranjo from 682 to her death (or shortly before her death) in 741. During that time, she probably served as de facto ruler of the city; however, monuments such as Stela 24 suggest she was never formally recognized as such, since she continued to use the emblem glyph of Dos Pilas throughout her life. Because the reading of her name is currently contested, scholars typically refer to her as Lady Six Sky, which is the English translation of a readable portion of her name (''Wak Chan'' meaning Six Sky). Monuments that refer to Lady Six Sky include: Naranjo stelae 3, 18, 24, 29, 31, and 46. Personal life Lady Six Sky was the daughter of B'alaj Chan K'awiil of Dos Pilas and a woman who may have been named Lady B'ulu ? or Lady B'uluka'l. Though Lady B'ulu was not B'alaj Chan K'a ...

Lady Buluʼ
Lady Buluʼ (7th-century) was a Queen of Dos Pilas. (Her name may have also been Lady B'uluka'l.) She was the wife of Bʼalaj Chan Kʼawiil, the king of Dos Pilas. She was the mother of Naranjo queen Wak Chanil Ajaw and stepmother of Dos Pilas kings Itzamnaaj Bʼalam and Itzamnaaj Kʼawiil. Despite not being the king's first wife, she likely carried a high level of political power; she is described on Naranjo Stela 24 as an ''ochk'in kalo'mte (loosely, "western autocrat"). This term was typically only associated with high-ranking nobility. It is also possible that she had one more daughter.

7th Century In Guatemala
7 (seven) is the natural number following 6 and preceding 8. It is the only prime number preceding a cube. As an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has greatly symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition and philosophy. The seven Classical planets resulted in seven being the number of days in a week. It is often considered lucky in Western culture and is often seen as highly symbolic. Unlike Western culture, in Vietnamese culture, the number seven is sometimes considered unlucky. It is the first natural number whose pronunciation contains more than one syllable. Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, Indians wrote 7 more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase vertically inverted. The western Ghubar Arabs' main contribution was to make the longer line diagonal rather than straight, though they showed some tendencies to making the digit more rectilinear. The eastern Arabs developed the digit fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
