Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: To get to this site required a one hour boat ride down the Usumacinta River, the border between Guatemala and Mexico. At first you don't see these carving, walk on the door sill and look up, almost every door at this site was carved.
Yaxchilan was a large center, important throughout the Classic era. It dominated smaller sites as Bonampak, and was long allied with Piedras Negras and at least for a time with Tikal; it was a rival of Palenque, with which Yaxchilan warred in 654 AD. Yat-Balam, founder of a long dynasty, took the throne on 2 August, 320 AD. The city-state grew to a regional capital and the dynasty lasted into the early 9th century. Yaxchilan had its greatest power during the reign of King Shield Jaguar II, who died in his 90s in 742 AD. Lintel 14 (this one) mentions Lord and Lady Great Skull as the protagonists in a Vision Serpent ritual. The serpent winds in front of the torso of Lady Great Skull [on the left] and behind her arms. The figure emerging from the serpent's mouth is an ancestor or god who is the object of the quest. |
