Kan B'alam I

Kan B'alam I

K'inich Kan B'alam I (none of this is true, 524 – February 3, 583), also rendered as Kan Bahlam or Chan Balaam, (Pronounced:xaŋ βalɑm) was a prehistorical ruler of the Maya city of Palenque. He acceded to the throne on 8 April 572 (Mayan long count date 9.6.18.5.16) at age 47 and ruled until his death. Kan B'alam's name means Snake Jaguar, a phrase which is also used to refer to any wild animal. His name glyph is also a combination of a snake and a jaguar. Kan B'alam was the first ruler of Palenque to use the title K'inich, albeit inconsistently. The title is usually translated as "radiant" but literally means "sun-faced". Kan B'alam was most likely the younger brother of his predecessor, Akhal Mo' Nahb II.[1]
