Yik'in Chan K'awiil
Maya · mortal · classic · Recorded classification
The consolidator. Tikal's position after 695 needed holding rather than winning, and he held it; the numbered position in the succession — twenty-seventh from Yax Ehb Xook — is the kind of detail the Maya thought worth carving and the reason the founder in this batch is linked to this dynasty rather than left loose.
