| Quiriguxc3xa1 shares its architectural and sculptural styles with the nearby Classic Period city of Copxc3xa1n, with whose history it is closely entwined. | WIKI |
| Quiriguxc3xa1's rapid expansion in the 8th century was tied to king K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat's military victory over Copxc3xa1n in 738. | WIKI |
| When the greatest king of Copxc3xa1n, Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil or "18-Rabbit", was defeated, he was captured and then sacrificed in the Great Plaza at Quiriguxc3xa1. | WIKI |
| [5] Before this, Quiriguxc3xa1 had been a vassal state of Copxc3xa1n, but it maintained its independence afterwards. | WIKI |
| The southern Maya area, showing the locations of Quiriguxc3xa1 and Copxc3xa1n | WIKI |
| [3] Quiriguxc3xa1 is 48xc2xa0km (30xc2xa0mi) north of Copxc3xa1n,[6] and is located 15.7xc2xa0km (9.8xc2xa0mi) north-west of the international border with Honduras. | WIKI |
| [15] The population density of the site has been estimated at 400 to 500 per square kilometer (1040 to 1300 per square mile) in the centre of the city during the Late Classic[16] with an estimated peak population of 1200xe2x80x931600;[17] surveys have revealed an average of 130 structures per square kilometer (338 per square mile) at the site, compared with 1449 structures/km2 (3767 per square mile) in central Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| The population levels of the Quiriguxc3xa1 valley increased rapidly after the successful rebellion against Copxc3xa1n in 738, although it was never a heavily populated site. | WIKI |
| [24] In addition, maize probably formed an important component in the site's tribute payments to its overlords at Copxc3xa1n, a city that was exhausting its own local resources. | WIKI |
| In the Classic Period, the location of the site would have placed Quiriguxc3xa1 on a crossroads between the trading route from the highlands to the Caribbean coast and the route from Copxc3xa1n to the major cities of the Petxc3xa9n Basin. | WIKI |
| [11] Early Classic ceramics from Quiriguxc3xa1 are similar to finds at both Copxc3xa1n and Chalchuapa in El Salvador, while jade hunchback figurines from the same period resemble those found in central Honduras and in the Guatemalan highlands. | WIKI |
| A combination of hieroglyphic texts from Tikal, Copxc3xa1n and Quiriguxc3xa1, together with architectural styles and chemical tests of the bones of the founder of the Copxc3xa1n dynasty all suggest that Quiriguxc3xa1 and Copxc3xa1n were founded by elite colonists from the great city of Tikal as a part of its expansion into the southeastern border area of the Maya region. | WIKI |
| [32][33][34] The recorded history of Quiriguxc3xa1 starts in 426, in the Early Classic (c.xc2xa0200xc2xa0xe2x80x93 c.xc2xa0600); according to hieroglyphic inscriptions at other sites, on 5xc2xa0September of that year K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' was enthroned as king of Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| [28] From this it is evident that right from the beginning of its recorded history Quiriguxc3xa1 was subservient to its southern neighbour, and was founded to bring the lucrative trade route of the Motagua River under the control of Copxc3xa1n and, indirectly, of Tikal. | WIKI |
| [36] An early monument records the supervision of a ritual in 480 by the then overlord from Copxc3xa1n, demonstrating Quiriguxc3xa1's continued status as a vassal of that city. | WIKI |
| Continued contact with Copxc3xa1n is evident, as well as longer distance contacts, possibly with Caracol in Belize. | WIKI |
| Quiriguxc3xa1 traditionally had been subordinate to its southern neighbour, Copxc3xa1n, and in 724 Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, king of Copxc3xa1n, installed K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat upon Quiriguxc3xa1's throne as his vassal. | WIKI |
| [39][40] As early as 734, however, K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat had shown that he was no longer an obedient subordinate of Copxc3xa1n when he started to refer to himself as k'ul ahaw, holy lord, instead of using the lesser term ahaw, subordinate lord; at the same time he began to use his own Quiriguxc3xa1 emblem glyph. | 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 |
| In 738 the interlinked fortunes of Quiriguxc3xa1 and Copxc3xa1n took a stunning change of direction when K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat, reigning lord of Quiriguxc3xa1, captured the powerful, but elderly 13th king of Copxc3xa1n, Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil,[43] who had installed him on his throne in 725. | WIKI |
| [22] This coup does not seem to have affected either Copxc3xa1n or Quiriguxc3xa1 physically, there is no evidence that either city was attacked at this time and the victor seems not to have received any detectable tribute. | WIKI |
| [44] An inscription at Quiriguxc3xa1, although difficult to interpret, suggests that the capture took place on 27 April 738, when Quiriguxc3xa1 seized and burned the wooden images of Copxc3xa1n's patron deities. | WIKI |
| It has been suggested that the king of Copxc3xa1n was attempting to attack another site in order to secure captives for sacrifice, and was ambushed by K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat and his Quiriguxc3xa1 warriors. | WIKI |
| [39][47] After this, Quiriguxc3xa1 engaged in a major monument-building programme, closely mimicking the sculptural style of Copxc3xa1n, possibly using captured Copxc3xa1n sculptors to carry out the work. | 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 |
| In 718, the city of Xkuyxc2xa0xe2x80x93 an as yet undiscovered sitexc2xa0xe2x80x93 was attacked and burned by Copxc3xa1n under the leadership of king Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil. | WIKI |
| After the king of Copxc3xa1n was sacrificed in 738, Xkuy seems to have become a loyal vassal of Quiriguxc3xa1 and in 762 K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat supervised the accession of "Sunraiser Jaguar" to the subservient city's throne. | WIKI |
| Quiriguxc3xa1 apparently retained its independence from Copxc3xa1n and continued to flourish until the beginning of the 9th century. | WIKI |
| [57] Relations between the two cities had improved somewhat by 810, when king Yax Pasaj Chan Yopaat of Copxc3xa1n visited Quiriguxc3xa1 in order to carry out a k'atun-ending ritual. | WIKI |
| After Quiriguxc3xa1's pivotal victory over Copxc3xa1n in 738, K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat rebuilt the main group in the image of Copxc3xa1n itself. | WIKI |
| [88] This ballcourt is a close copy of the ballcourts at Copxc3xa1n, being built in the same style, to the same dimensions, and with the same orientation. | WIKI |
| Locusxc2xa0057 was situated on one of the most probable routes to Copxc3xa1n and may have been a watchpost to look out for enemy warriors after the defeat of Copxc3xa1n by K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat. | WIKI |
| [101] After the defeat and execution of the king of Copxc3xa1n in 738, the sculptural style of Quiriguxc3xa1 closely resembled that of its former overlord. | WIKI |
| Its glyphs are arranged in a rare mat pattern, copied from Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| The text bears the name of king K'awiil Yopaat and also mentions "Smoke Imix", the 12thxc2xa0king of Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| The importance of this monument lies in its text, in which this preeminent king of Quiriguxc3xa1 claimed the title of k'uhul ajaw, holy lord, and began his bid for independence from Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| [123] A hieroglyphic text on the zoomorph describes the founding of Quiriguxc3xa1 under the supervision of the king of Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| This stela has an identifiable date, corresponding to 18xc2xa0April 480, and a reference to a ritual taking place that was supervised by the king of Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| This style is seen in the monuments of Quirigua and which in turn had a strong influence over the art production in the Maya area of Copxc3xa1n (Honduras) and Belize. | UNESCO |
