Keywords:
Maya, divine rulership, politics, epigraphy, iconography
Abstract
Prehispanic Maya rulers performed duties and bore titles that link them directly with the sacred. Moreover, many iconographic and epigraphic evidences show that, at least during the Classic period (250-900 a. C.), they were regarded as divine kings, were even worshipped probably and took up the highest ritual responsabilities. The end of Classic culture also means the end of the sacred nature of power aparently, but the ruler kept important religious duties until the arrival of Spaniards.Downloads
