He was often referred to in hieroglyphic texts as Master of Aj Nik, referring to the capture of his first captive before he became king, this phrase being attached to his name on 32 separate occasions. Success reinforced the authority of these early rulers, the ancestors of later Maya kings and queens known from portraits and texts on carved monuments.

after 690: Muwaan Jol, ascended under king Yuknoom of Calakmul; however, in 690, ascended once again under the king of Palenque. United herself in marriage with a cousin of the previous ruler, K'ahk' Xiiw Chan Chaahk, from 693 she held regency for her son. The Middle Preclassic lowland site of Nakbe was probably among the first to control the strategic route across the base of the Yucatan peninsula. Calakmul is also identified by its sociopolitical role in the region mainly during the Late Classic Period (600-900 AD) (Martin and Grube 2008;Carrasco 2012).

Se ha propuesto que el antepasado es la madre de Itzam K'an Ahk II (Escobedo y Houston 2002; Martin y Grube 2008;Clancy 2009;O'Neil 2012;); sin embargo, esta idea se ha cuestiona do a partir de los motivos iconográficos del personaje, siendo el tocado de serpiente de guerra teotihuacana, ausente en la iconografía de mujeres de Yokib, el que salta a la vista (Bernal Romero 2006;García Juárez 2015). In the Middle Preclassic the rulers of Kaminaljuyu oversaw the construction of one of the earliest irrigation canals in Mesoamerica to expand agricultural production and their growing capital. His origins are unknown, although his name appears at Kaminaljuyu and he may have come from the highlands.

Microfacial analysis shows that the used building rocks are highly recrystallized biosparudites (grainstones to packstones) with the presence of reef and shallow waters fauna (boundstones). One of the largest structures for its time in Mesoamerica, Mound E3-1 at Chalchuapa, El Salvador (shown as it was in 1954), was constructed in the Middle Preclassic era (ca. Advancements in epigraphic decipherment have worked in conjunction with the analysis of fortifications, war-related iconography, settlement patterning, site destruction episodes, and bioarchaeological evidence to continually refine our understanding of the role war played in past Maya societies (Chase and Chase 2003;Inomata 2008; Martin 2020;O'Mansky and Demarest 2007; Schele and Miller 1986;Webster 2000). The time period of interest in this paper is the first two centuries of the Late Preclassic, during which the Middle Preclassic regional dynamics described above began to shift and accelerate to set up the great flourishing of the latter centuries of the Late Preclassic.One of these proclaims that Copan ranked with Tikal, Palenque, and Calakmul as the four greatest kingdoms of the Maya world. The findings of this study indicate the demand for a psychological approach that contemplates history, neuroscience, economy and cultures. Classic Maya polities were moral communities forged through reciprocal and entangled relations of obligation, tribute, labor services, and a sense of common heritage and destiny.
