Lady Six Sky: The Maya Queen Who Rebuilt Naranjo
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
After a devastating defeat by Calakmul, the city of Naranjo was in ruins. Enter Lady Six Sky, a princess from Dos Pilas sent to restore the dynasty. This episode follows her rise to power, her strategic marriage, the monumental stelae she commissioned to legitimize her rule, and the military campaigns she orchestrated. We examine the evidence from Stelae 24 and 29, the glyphic records of her titles (including the rare kaloomte' or 'supreme warrior'), and how she navigated the treacherous politics of the Classic Maya world. How did a foreign queen rebuild a fallen kingdom—and why did later rulers erase her from dynastic lists? Dive into the story of one of Mesoamerica's most formidable women.
