Description

Explore the profound connection between Teotihuacan and the Maya Lowlands in this scholarly work from the Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Art and Archaeology Studies Series. Building on the influential "The Arrival of Strangers" article, David Stuart examines the historical reality of Spearthrower Owl. This book investigates the possibility that this figure was a ruler of Teotihuacan whose political influence shaped Maya history for generations. Through a detailed analysis of epigraphic, iconographic, and historical evidence, Stuart presents a compelling argument regarding the impact of this individual on Central Mexico and the Maya regions. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the complex political relationships and historical legacies of Early Classic inscriptions in Tikal and beyond. It provides a deep look into how a single historical figure could leave a lasting mark on ancient Mesoamerican civilizations.
