Boundary End Archaeology Research Center - After the Entrada, by Dr. David Stuart

After the Entrada: The Memory of Teotihuacan among the Late Classic Maya
Dr. David Stuart presented this free live-streamed lecture on KZbin, May 27.

The “Entrada” of 378 CE stands as one of the major events of ancient Mesoamerican history, when a new political order was established at the central Maya capital of Tikal by agents of Teotihuacan and its long-reigning ruler, Spearthrower Owl (or “Owl Striker”). Many details of the events remain obscure, but we know that it was then recognized as a political conquest, with long lasting repercussions in Maya history.
This talk will focus on how these complex events of the Early Classic shaped the political ideology of later centuries, into the Late Classic era, when numerous kings referenced Teotihuacan in their own artistic and historical narratives.
Over four centuries after this event, and long after the fall of Teotihuacan ca. 550 CE., Maya rulers developed a shared ideology of military prowess rooted in the Entrada history and in the memory of Spearthrower Owl.

For a Maya geek like me, and a great fan of David, this was extremely informal and entertaining. Thank you.

As always, it is a pleasure to listen to your clear explanations about the fascinating history of the Maya world...love it all!

This Western Authority is most compelling.

Fantastic lecture, David. I viewed it twice! It's interesting how the Maya would dress up as Teotihuacan warriors in rememberance/respect for their power and influence.

When I heard a cat meow I thought it was my cat Rambo and I gave him his favorite kitty crunchies to keep him quiet while watching your video. Lol... Turned out it was your cat on video. He got a treat via KZbin.

SpearthrowerOwl/Eagle (bird and weapon themed warrior figure) also shows up in Mississippian iconography, specifically on copper plates from Etowah.

What an excellent explication of your new understanding of the incredibly far-reaching effects of The Entrada. This talk was incredibly interesting, well illustrated and supported, and truly a delight for myself and my homeschooler. It is amazing how much more is known now, than when I studied precolumbian art and archaeology (UCLA '01). We knew that Teotihuacan had far reaching influence, but as I recall the interpretation was more of a cultural hegemony than an actual conquest (although there were questions about the origin of K'inich Yax K'uk Mo based on isotopic analysis of his teeth). I will be supporting Boundary End in gratitude, and sharing this resource with other long-term homeschoolers, because having access to this level of scholarship is just such an incredible gift! Thanks again, and stay healthy.

Thank you for sharing your expertise online, Dr. Stuart! 🙏🙏🙏 I would love to know why the word "calumtay" (I'm sounding that out) is difficult to translate.

[@erickhmolina]

Very informative, ! thank you, any suggestions on any books or online data regarding glyph/letter translations?

[@enrgz]

Acceptable assertions only. Academia ... elevates the 'very knowledgeable' to control what you should know.

[@taniaoleksenko6218]

Thank you for the great presentation! I would like to note that if"m not mistaken, the later research has shown that the tomb in Copan - so-called Margarita tomb- you referred to, belongs to woman, probably wife of K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo'.

[@SimonSozzi7258]

Incredibile. Why did the Teotihuacanos start building over the war serpent platform around that same time.?. Maybe that guy got too big for his britches and they kicked him out!?

[@josemandiaz]

A lot of similarities to Tlaloc.

"will be a problem for many years to come" simply tells me you have no solution so why watch?
