[Aztlan] Calakmul Hegemony in the Maya world

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

Nikolai Grube of the University of Bonn announced at the 6th Palenque  
Round Table that he believes that Calakmul had a more extensive  
hegemony over large parts of the Maya world than was thought. By  
studying the serpent head glyph at various sites in the Maya world  
which was the emblem of the Kaan dynasty at Calakmul, Grube believes  
that Calakmul had hegemony or strong influence over Uxul, Quintana  
Roo; Oxpemul, Campeche; Morral Reforma, Tabasco; Naachtun, Cancuen, La  
Muñeca, Piedras Negras, in Guatemala, and Caracol, Belize from 636-736  
CE until Tikal conquered Calakmul in 736 CE.
