As did other rulers in the ancient world, Classic Mayan kings legitimized their power by assuming the name of the sun god, K'inich. In this way, they identified themselves with the celestial authority of a potent supernatural being. The king shown here is the son of K'inich Ahkal Mo' Naab' III - the 12th Mayan King of Palenque..Who or what is African? Geographically, those who live in Africa whose ancestry there dates back millions of years. Physically, Africans are those (one can argue – exceptions abound) who have some combination of full facial features and/or wooly / wiry hair. This question is of significance as those who are physically African were your earliest known peoples of the world’s earliest societies and also the first historical monarchs of North America predating the Mayflower in cases by over 1500 years. This post is part of a series identifying by name these Mayan monarchs of African phenotype. Further, analogies between ancient Mayan and African societies exist which would seem to indicate that Mayan roots are found in Africa. In Mexico, these monarchs are from Bonampak, Pelenque, Yaxhilan; in Guatemala from Quirigua and Machaquila; in the Honduras, from Copan. In this series, 17 named, known, historical monarchs will be presented a new one every few days over the period of perhaps three weeks. The one who is the subject of any given post will have his or her name capitalized in the King’s list below starting with monarch of Bonampak known as King Fish Fin. Those whose browsers allow will see the imbedded picture below the text. Otherwise, following the link will reveal the picture.
