Jasaw Chan K'awiil's Great King List: Tikal's Resurrection

Listen for free

View show details

In 682 AD, a new king rose in Tikal, a city crushed by Calakmul. Jasaw Chan K'awiil I didn't just rebuild — he rewrote history. This episode dives into his most audacious project: the Great King List, a monumental text that revised the past to serve the future. We explore how Maya rulers used dynastic history as political weaponry, carving long genealogies on stelae to claim divine legitimacy. How did Jasaw select which kings to include, who got left out, and what does that tell us about Tikal's recovery after the devastating Star War? Featuring specific readings from Stela 5 and Stela 16, plus the priestly order's role in controlling the narrative. No prior deep dive into Maya political propaganda exists in our catalog — until now. #JasawChanKawiil #Tikal #Calakmul #MayaKings #GreatKingList #Stela5 #Stela16 #dynasticpropaganda #Mayaepigraphy #StarWar #Kaanul #Mutal #ClassicMaya #Peten #Mesoamerica #History #FexingoHistory #MayaHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
