Lakam Ha (Palenque) Ancient Maya City
Lakam Ha (Palenque) is located in Chiapas, Mexico perched on a narrow plateau at the northwest edge of the Sierra de Chiapas mountains. Surrounded by tropical rain forests and soaring peaks, the city has a spectacular view of plains below. Considered the most elegant and mystical of Maya sites, Lakam Ha was at its height in 650-750 CE, the middle Classic Period.
Life in Lakam Ha is the topic of my current book in progress. The story spans the lives of four great Maya "queens," two were rulers themselves and two married rulers, all in the lineage of K'inich Janaab Pakal, the most famous Maya ruler.
Drawing from archeology, anthropology and epigraphy, this HF aspires to depict their lives, conflicts, dreams, defeats and triumphs in a culture of immense creativity and profound knowledge.
