	Spearthrower Owl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He ascended to the throne on 4 May 374 (already an adult at the time), and the long lived ruler died on 9 June 439.
		Later Maya rulers were still mentioning their descent from the illustrious Spearthrower Owl on monuments 5 generations later.
		In addition to Tikal and Uaxactun, Spearthrower Owl is mentioned in texts at other sites, including Yaxchilan and Tonina.

		Spearthrower Owl is named as the father of the newly installed Tikal ruler Nun Yax Ayin, and is thus the grandfather of the later ruler Siyah Chan K'awil.
		The spearthrower or atlatl is a distinctively highland weapon, and the owl is strongly associated with militaristic themes in Teotihuacan iconography.
		According to the text, Spearthrower Owl sees or in some way sanctions the arrival of Siyah K'ak' in 378 A.D. Although he is somehow involved in the arrival episode, the first date associated with him actually falls a few years earlier and also is recorded on the Marcador.

	Nun Yax Ayin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He took the throne of Tikal on 13 September 379, soon after the death of previous king Jaguar-Paw, apparently in battle.
		Nun Yax Ayin was a son of Spearthrower Owl, a lord of Teotihuacan (probably that city's king) in Central Mexico.
		The installation of a Teotihuacano noble on the throne of Tikal marks a high point of Teotihuacan influence in the central Maya lowlands.

	Untitled Document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Regarding the 13-k'atun anniversary of Spearthrower Owl's death (as recorded on Stela 31), Lintel 2 of Temple 1 seems to record an equally important anniversary.
		On one of the incised bones from Burial 116 (MT 32), 'Spearthrower Owl' is said to have conjured a solar deity (K'in Ajaw) on Sept. 12th, A.D. 374 (8.16.17.15.11 12 Chuen 9 Yaxkin).
		Rather, both the lintels of the temple and the texts of the tomb's interior contrive to commemorate key events (death and invocation of gods) in the life of 'Spearthrower Owl', founder of the Mexicanized dynastic line of which Jasaw Chan K'awiil himself was the 12th successor.

	Teotihuacán - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unfortunately no ancient Teotihuacano non-ideographic texts are known to exist (or known to have existed), but the city is occasionally referred to in the texts of Maya monuments, showing that Teotihuacán nobility travelled to and married with the families of local rulers as far away as Honduras.
		Maya inscriptions mention an individual nicknamed by scholars as "Spearthrower Owl", apparently Emperor of Teotihuacán, who reigned for over 60 years and imposed his relatives as kings of Tikal and Uaxactún in Guatemala.
		Most of what we infer about the culture at Teotihuacán comes from the murals that adorn the site and others, like the Wagner Murals, found in private collections, and from hieroglyphic inscriptions made by the Maya describing their encounters with Teotihuacano conquerors.

	Actual Origins of STAR WARS
		Researchers have argued that the introduction of the Mexican spearthrower known as the "atlatl" had an important effect on the way warfare was conducted at Tikal.
		The spearthrower (or more properly dart-thrower) changed all that and made long-distance thrusts a matter of deadly accuracy.
		This instrument had been introduced to Tikal during the time of Jaguar Claw I. The personage known as Spearthrower Owl, a contemporary and possible relative of Jaguar Claw I, even used the instrument as part of his name glyph.

	Teotihuacan
		Unfortunately no ancient Teotihuacano texts are known to exist, but the city is occasionally referred to in the texts of Maya monuments, showing that Teotihuacan nobility traveled to and married with the families of local rulers as far away as Honduras.
		Maya hieroglyphs mention Spearthrower Owl, apparently Emperor of Teotihuacan, who reigned for over 60 years and imposed his relatives as kings of Tikal and Uaxactun in Guatemala.
		By 650 Teotihuacan was in decline as a major power.

	Welcome to Tikal
		Although the front of the stela depicts a very Maya rendition of Siyaj Chan K'awiil II, it still subtly references Teotihuacan: the headdress that the ruler holds aloft carries the "Spearthrower Owl" symbol which is related to warfare at the site of Teotihuacan.
		Importantly, marking the center of the banner's feathered fringe medallion is the "Spearthrower Owl" motif that carries distinct references to Teotihuacan-style warfare.
		The years 500 - 700 AD are not well understood at Tikal, as few monuments have been found that date to this period.
