[Album] Large high quality gallery of the ancient Mayan monuments of QuiriguΓ‘. Primarily constructed from very strong local sandstone allowing the sculptors to erect the tallest freestanding stone monuments in the Americas. The city suffered damage in ancient times as a result of major earthquakes.

Monuments of QuiriguΓ‘ album with original source links in descriptions

QuiriguΓ‘ is famous for its many stelae, which are the tallest in the Maya world. The stelae are carved on four sides with images of kings, hieroglyphs, and calendar dates. Stella C has inscribed in stone the Maya Long Count calendar date 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ajaw 8 Kumk’u, corresponding to August 11, 3114 BCE. This date marks the beginning of the calendar cycle ending on December 21, 2012. The hieroglyphs accompanying these dates tell the Maya story of creation.

QuiriguΓ‘ was closely linked to the ancient Maya city of CopΓ‘n in present day Honduras. In the year 738 CE, QuiriguΓ‘'s king, K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat or "Cauac Sky," captured and killed the greatest king of CopΓ‘n, Waxaklajun Ub'ah K'awil or β€œ18-Rabbit.” QuiriguΓ‘, originally a vassal state of CopΓ‘n, maintained its independence after the defeat of 18-Rabbit. Archaeologists believe that the decline of QuiriguΓ‘ and other Maya cities around 900 CE was a result from a combination of factors including wars, overpopulation, natural disasters, and the depletion of natural resources.
