| This may be linked to the Tikal hiatus of the Middle Classic caused by Tikal's defeat by Calakmul. | WIKI |
| Indeed, this local act of rebellion appears to have been part of the larger political struggle between the two Maya "superpowers", the great cities of Tikal and Calakmul. | WIKI |
| In 736, only two years later, K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat received a visit from Wamaw K'awiil, the high king of distant Calakmul, while Copxc3xa1n was one of Tikal's oldest allies. | WIKI |
| The timing of this visit by the king of Calakmul is highly significant, falling between the accession of K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat to the throne of Quiriguxc3xa1 as a vassal of Copxc3xa1n and the outright rebellion that was to follow. | WIKI |
| This strongly suggests that Calakmul sponsored Quiriguxc3xa1's rebellion in order to weaken Tikal and to gain access to the rich trade route of the Motagua Valley. | WIKI |
| [40][42] It is likely that contact with Calakmul had been initiated soon after K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat acceded to the throne, since Quiriguxc3xa1 experienced rapid growth soon after, suggesting that Quiriguxc3xa1 already was receiving external support. | WIKI |
| In the Late Classic (c. 600xc2xa0xe2x80x93 c. 900), alliance with Calakmul frequently was associated with the promise of military support. | WIKI |
| The fact that Copxc3xa1n, a much more powerful city than Quiriguxc3xa1, failed to retaliate against its former vassal implies that it feared the military intervention of Calakmul. | WIKI |
| Calakmul itself was far enough away from Quiriguxc3xa1 that K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat was not afraid of falling directly under its power as a full vassal state, even though it is likely that Calakmul sent warriors to help in the defeat of Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| The alliance instead seems to have been one of mutual advantage, Calakmul managed to weaken a powerful ally of Tikal while Quiriguxc3xa1 gained its independence. | WIKI |
