Still Waters Posted October 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Glyphs carved into a tiny alabaster jar have led archaeologists to conclude that the tomb in Guatemala where the jar was found belonged to one of the greatest queens of the Classic Maya civilization, known as Lady K'abel. "She was not only a queen, but a supreme warlord, and that made her the most powerful person in the kingdom during her lifetime," David Freidel, an archaeologist at Washington University in St. Louis, said in a report released today. That description would put Lady K'abel in the same class as other ruling women of the ancient world, ranging from the biblical Queen of Sheba to Egypt's Hatshepsut and Cleopatra. http://cosmiclog.nbc...maya-queen?lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted October 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2012 My first thought was... oh! they found one of her make-up jars. But then the story says she was a supreme warlord. Doubt she had the time for make-up then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
