  Pacal the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pacal II, also known as Pacal the Great (the name is sometimes rendered as Pakal) (26 March 603 - 31 August 683), was king of the Maya kingdom of Palenque.
Pacal saw expansion of Palenque's power in the western part of the Maya states, and initiated a building program at his capital that produced some of Maya civilization's finest art and architecture.
After his death, Pacal the Great was worshiped as a god, and said to communicate with his descendants.

Pacal Votan taught his people the mystery of the 9 BOLON TI K'U and the 13 OX LAHUN TI K'U. He taught his Mayan people that the 9 BOLON TI K'U are the Lords of the Night and their wisdom and power depend on the absence of light.
Pacal Votan also taught his Mayan people the handling of the 7 powers held in the human body and using the Mayan word "Chacla" he used to point out the parts of the initiates' bodies where that great power, coming from the cosmic power, would flow out.
Pacal Votan is awaiting for this communication to start emitting his messages as a teacher and sacred person who came to the earth as an Avatar of all the times.

 Story of Pacal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Pacal was asked about the source of his wisdom, and he said it was because he found a young maiden in the forest when he was himself a young man. The maiden said that she was from heaven and that she wanted to marry him.
After Pacal agreed to marry her, she entrusted him with a small box that contained the treasures of heaven.
She returned to heaven, and Pacal was left with a broken heart, but with newly acquired wisdom.

 Apocalyptic Enlightenment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Pacal Votan was the supreme true man ("Halach Uinich") because he synchronized his life with the supreme cycle of the power of time: 13 66 560 - 13 85 540, cycle 73 of the solar-galactic 52-year cycles commenced at the beginning of the 13 baktun count, BC 3113.
The supreme true man Pacal Votan was able to establish the cycles of prophecy synchronized to the needs of the human being living in the cycle of darkness and error, equal to the enlightenment of all sages and seers.
When we say that Pacal Votan was the supreme avatar of the present cycle of human testing and transformation, we can also add that his mission was to emanate the capstone of the search for truth on this planet.

Whether or not the required understanding of the cycles of the cosmos endured until Pacal's time is unknown, but symbolism that appears to originate with his reign may in fact be much older.
In Pacal's day, it is a near certainty that optical technology did not exist to view even our moon in greater detail than what is revealed to the naked eye.
Given the importance of this carving to Pacal and his contemporaries, it seemed like a good place to look for clues that had been lost to destruction and missed opportunity in the 1500s and earlier times.

 Maya Sites - About Mayan Ruins in Palenque
Pacal´s mother, Lady Zac-Kuk, was one of only two women in Mayan history ever to rule in her own right.
Thus Pacal ascended the throne under his mother´s authority and began his reign by commissioning friezes and works that appear to be rewriting history, and even changing Mayan mythology in order to usher in his unorthodox ascension to the throne.
Pacal must have had savvy and wisdom as well as military prowess, for his reign as a king is one of the longest in world history.

 Once I noticed I was on fire, I decided to relax and enjoy the fall.: Light that came from beside the sea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Pacal supposedly died in 683 AD, and became something of a semi-mythological figure...according to Kay Almere Read and Jason J. Gonzalez's Mesoamerican Mythology, Pacal was 'an important ancestor with close connections to the cosmos.
Lord Pacal's sarcophagus lid portrays him beginning his journey through the afterlife, entering the underworld Xibalba like a setting sun.' It's an established fact that Pacal was remembered as much for his long rulership and his program of monumental construction...in his way, he was a Mayan Ramses II, erecting structures all over Palenque.
It has been pointed out as well that Pacal, or whoever was found in that sarcophagus, was one hell of a specimen for the time period: at six feet tall he was close to eight inches taller than the average Mayan then or now.

It was Pacal himself who had this magnificent pyramid built and his heir, Chan Bahlum who completed it.
A curious feature to this structure is a duct that runs from the tomb, up the sides of the interior stairs to the temple floor.
Many theories have been proposed as to the purpose of this duct, such as being a channel for Pacal's spirit to communicate with his descendants during bloodletting rituals on the temple above.

The sensation of the image of Pacal floating in space, the glory of his magnificent tomb, still the only one like it ever found, is now cataloged in the archetypal imagery of the collective unconscious as a symbol of transcendence, of a mystery that speaks of worlds beyond this world.
The knowledge of the codes of the law of Time that Pacal Votan took with him to his tomb was a divine knowledge, one of whose purposes, among many, was to affirm and liberate the Holy Quran from the errors of history.
This cosmology is encoded in the mathematics of the Tomb of Pacal Votan.

One author, Lhuillier A. Ruiz, in his article (1977) "Gerontocracy at Palenque?" stated that Pacal had the skeletal remains of a 40 year old person, not an 80 year old.
Although I did not reach Linda Schele's 80 years of age for Pacal (which was expected), I did manage either 55.56 years (through a 365 days a year) or 43.41 years (for a 366 day year which included Leap Years).
The conclusion is that Pacal died during the ascension of a constellation (G-I) in the month of 6 Etznab on the day 11 Yax.

King Pacal: Palenque is probably most well known for the tomb of its famous King Pacal inside of the Temple of the Inscriptions which, like the tombs of Egypt's pharoahs, is buried deep within a specially built pyramid.
King Pacal was born in the year 603 A.D. and is said to have reigned for 67 years until his death at the age of 80.
I am also a bit concerned that perhaps some of them may be opportunists who see the adherents of the various new age spiritual movements as a cash cow and, in the process, may be misrepresenting and contaminating the underlying beliefs of the Maya who today continue to practice many of their ancient traditions.

 Response to Counterarguments / Appendix 5 to Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 by John Major Jenkins
Schele writes, "Pacal, the great king of Palenque, predicted in his inscriptions that the 80th Calendar Round anniversary of his accession will be celebrated eight days after the first 8000-year cycle [20 baktuns, actually = 7885 years] in which the Mayan Calendar ends...
The latter-day political machinations of one Maya ruler (Pacal) are less important; neither Pacal nor his era developed the Long Count calendar.
Pacal's twenty-baktun period is an exception; it does not speak for how his contemporaries understood when the creation cycle begins anew, nor does it reflect what the Long Count's inventors apparently had in mind (which we will get to shortly).
