Yaxchilan Lintel 25


This is actually funny. Yaxchilan lintel 25.
I thought it was backwards, because the tzolk'in dates were at the end. So I ended up translating it backwards. Attached is my backerds image and proof of translation. Haha.

Sorry, I didn't post this properly with a transliteration but when you see the photos you'll understand.

A1: 4 Katun Lord
A2: Itzanmaj Balam
A3: the white serpent
A4: Bakab of Yaxchilan

B1:His image, arrived that year.
C1: ????
D1: his flint and shield
E1: he appeared, the k'awil.
F1: 5 Imix, 4 Mak

B2: her image, the lady ???.
B3: female lineage founder(?)

H1: Lady Xook
I1: Blood Letter
H2: Kabkohlet(?)
H3: appeared the Serpent.

My Translation of Altar Q, Copan

Altar Q, Copan, looks like a very large table. The top features a large inscription, followed by 16 of the 17 kings of Copan, surrounding it's side. The kings are depicted, sitting on their name glyphs. The lineage founder, Yax Kuk Mo, is shown, passing  on the K'awil scepter to the last recorded king on the altar, Yax Pasaj. Since there are 16 kings, there are 4 kings on each panel.  On the top of Altar Q, Copan, we get the following inscription: Image Source A1B1: 5 Kaban, 15 Sip A2B2: u-kan k'awil, Ch'ok te'na A3B3: ajaw k'uk-il, 8 ajaw A4B4: 18 Sip, ta-l(i) A5B5: Ch'ok te'na, Yax K'uk Mo.
