This episode dives into the life and legacy of Lady K'abel, a seventh-century Maya queen who ruled the city of El Peru-Waka' alongside her husband. Known as the 'Supreme Warrior' and 'Lady Water Lily Hand,' she was a kaloomte', a high military and political title, and her tomb was discovered in 2012 with the iconic alabaster jar naming her. We explore her role in the Cold War between Tikal and Calakmul, the symbolism of the Waka' dynasty, and how her stela reveals her authority. Plus, we look at the recent reassessments of Maya queens and the archaeological drama around her discovery.
