A Late Classic Maya earthenware flanged censer base depicting the lightning god Kʼawiil, created in Tabasco, Mexico, between 600 and 850 CE. Features Kʼawiil, recognizable by the axe-like torch or celt rising from his forehead and his distinctive upturned snout. The central figure is flanked by twin intertwined serpents that curve along the sides. A large, fanged zoomorphic mask looms directly above the deity. Ancient priests burned copal incense inside these hollow ceramic stands, letting smoke curl through the sculpture to invoke the god during sacred ceremonies.

The Temple of the Great Jaguar in Tikal, Guatemala. This is a funerary temple associated with Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil I, who ruled from 682 to 734 CE. Located on the Great Plaza, it rises to 55m tall and gets its name from a lintel representing the king sat on a jaguar throne.

For #TombTuesday. Temple I in the Maya city of Tikal is the funerary temple of Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil I, who is buried beneath it (2000). It stands 180 ft tall. #photography #tikal #guatemala #maya #temple #ruins #AncientBlueSky #archaeology #temple #EastCoastKin #ECK #WCK #rockintuesday
The photograph captures the prominent ancient Maya structure known as Temple I (also named the Temple of the Great Jaguar) located at the archeological site of Tikal in Guatemala. It shows the massive, steep, limestone stepped pyramid rising up through nine terraced levels. A small stone ceremonial room topping the pyramid, topped by a weathered roof comb structure. Thick, dense fog envelopes the upper section of the structure and sky, giving the scene a moody, dramatic aesthetic.

I request that we sacrifice him in the name of Uaxaclajuun Ubʼaah Kʼawiil to save futbol.

I don't want more tournaments
I want to keep Women's World Cup
I don't want private firms
And I don't want the family of the President of the United States touching this organization with their bloody hands.

Like most fascist states the Trump administration, MAGA (and probably Russian troll farms) use propaganda instead of legislation.

Chris and I have been working away at Tool Cognition on improving AI agents and tool usage.

We'll soon have more interesting updates to share.

Until then, here's a photo from my recent trip to Tikal, Guatemala.

Temple of the Great Jaguar (Temple I) was built for Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil I around 732CE.
