Detail InformationEdit

Tortuguero (or El Tortuguero) is an archaeological site in southernmost Tabasco, Mexico which supported a Maya city during the Classic period. The site is noteworthy for its use of the B’aakal emblem glyph also found as the primary title at Palenque. The site has been heavily damaged by looting and modern development; in the 1960s, a cement factory was built directly on top of the site.
Most of the surviving monuments of Tortuguero come from the reign of B’alam Ajaw (“Jaguar Lord”) who ruled from 644 to 679. These record several victories over nearby states and may indicate that both his father and son were named Ik’ Muuy Muwahn.
Monument 6 from Tortuguero is currently generating discussion as it includes the only known inscription depicting the end of the current 13-Bak’tun era in 2012. Grube, Martin and Zender have stated it refers to “the end of the 13th b’ahktun which we will see in the year 2012” and as to what will happen, they say, “…utom, “it will happen” followed by something that we cannot read and he “will descend” yem. The last glyph begins with ta followed by something. However, this is not the end of the World.”
