Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
In this episode, we explore the life and reign of Jasaw Chan K'awiil I, the 7th-century king of Tikal who broke free from Calakmul's domination and launched a campaign that reshaped the Maya world. We discuss his accession in 682 CE, the famous Tikal-Calakmul war of 695, and the archaeological evidence from Temple I and Stela 16. Lucas explains how Jasaw's victory over Yuknoom Yich'aak K'ahk' of Calakmul ended a 130-year hiatus in Tikal's monumental building and ushered in a golden age. We also touch on the role of the 'Star War' ritual and the geopolitics of the Classic Maya period.
