K'inich Janab Pakal I (Mayan ruler, reigned 615-683)
|
Note: Great Mayan king who ruled for 68 years. In modern sources, his name is also sometimes appended with either I or II, to distinguish him from other Janaab' Pakals that either preceded or followed him in the dynastic lineage of the Palenque. The interpretation of the sarcophagus lid recovered from his tomb came under scrutiny in the 1968 book "Chariot of the Gods" written by Erich Von Däniken. While the author claimed that the design represented an astronaut seated in a spaceship, traditional interpretations sites the image as a portrait of the ruler himself with the World Tree of Maya mythology. |
