Wak Kab'nal

Wak Kab’nal was a Maya royal center in eastern Petén, known from its ruins as Naranjo. Its temples, plazas and carved stelae preserve the history of a powerful Classic-period kingdom. Among the figures depicted on its monuments is Lady Six Sky, who came from another royal house and exercised authority while her young son ruled. The city’s inscriptions record the ceremonies and conflicts of a court deeply involved in the rivalries of the Maya lowlands.
