Margarita Tomb
The Margarita Tomb, also known as The Queens tomb, lies buried deep in the center of the Late Classic Acropolis of Copán, Honduras. It is a multi – leveled tomb with one of the largest caches ever found associated with the burial of a Maya woman.〔Martin, Simon, Grube, Nikolai, Chronicle of the Maya Kings and Queens, 2008, Thames and Hudson, New York, New York〕
==History==
In the valley of Copán, in western Honduras, the maya civilization ruled for hundreds of years. However, not much is known about the region before dynasty 5 and the first king, K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo'. K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' (also known as Green Quetzal Macaw)〔http://www.archaeology.org/9607/newsbriefs/copan.html〕 ruled from 426 c.e. to around 435 c.e. He died shortly before the 9th Baktun (also spelled Bak'tun) in the Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar. When originally dug up in 1993, the Margarita Tomb was thought to belong to that of K'inich Popol Hol, the son and predecessor of K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo'.〔
Over years of excavation it was discovered that this was a tomb of a woman because of the remains found, which were covered in cinnabar and hematite.〔 One archaeologist Robert J. Sharer along with his colleagues who were on the dig, believe the remains are of the wife of the founder of Copán, K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo'. Because she was found covered in the red cinnabar she is also known as "The Lady in Red."〔 Her burial is very close to the Hunal tomb, where he is buried, and the large number of items found in the tomb suggests a royal burial.〔http://penn.museum/documents/publications/expedition/PDFs/42-3/The%20Margarita.pdf〕
