 prev - home - next Code of Kings was written before David Stuart's demonstration of the true nature of the Teotihuacan entrada, or "entry" into the territory and the politics of the Maya. So it was easier to imagine that Jaguar Paw's palace had been preserved as a lineage shrine out of veneration. This is somewhat less credible in view of the possibility that the Siyaj K'ak' found it necessary to kill the Tikal ruler. But if indeed this happened, it is quite plain that the Teotihuacan-installed regime was far from antipathetic to the Maya heritage of Tikal. |
