Tzi-Bʼalam

Tzi-Bʼalam was the tenth ruler of Copan. He was nicknamed Moon Jaguar by archaeologists. He was a son of Bʼalam Nehn, the 7th ruler. He was enthroned in May 553. His surviving monuments were found in the modern village of Copán Ruinas, which was a major complex during the Classic period. The most famous construction dating to his reign is the elaborate Rosalila phase of Temple 16, discovered entombed intact under later phases of the temple during archaeological tunneling work.[1]

gollark: And you're probably fiddling with definitions somewhat to make that point, depending on what people you mean exactly.
gollark: That is subjective.
gollark: You can't stick two human rights in a particle collider and measure the moral particles produced, or something.
gollark: We just think they're a good idea. There's nothing encoded in the universe which says "yes here you go, this is Good™ and this is Bad™".
