Teotihuacan References Found within Classic Maya Inscriptions

Summary

This paper explores Teotihuacan references found within the corpus of ancient Maya inscriptions. Classic Maya inscriptions analyzed for this investigation were derived from monumental architecture to ceramics. In the last decade more references to Teotihuacan within Classic Maya hieroglyphic writing have surfaced within the archaeological record and in museum collections. However, recently there has not been an in-depth study that analyzes the context of these recently uncovered references. First, this paper reanalyzes previous studies of the aforementioned topic. Second, it examines recent Teotihuacan references found within Classic Maya inscriptions which reveals new insights to the relationship that existed between the Classic Maya and the ancient city of Teotihuacan from Central Mexico.
