katun ended in the selection of<br />
the new lord, eliminating the<br />
soldiers, assaulters, and sacrificers<br />
and reviving the land in<br />
12 Ahau. (4116)<br />
12 Ahau was the seventh of<br />
the Itza katun series. Valladolid<br />
was its seat. Yax Chuen was its<br />
lord, and on the fourth day he<br />
left, bearing the result of the<br />
count in the Mayan tradition<br />

Valladolid<br />
Was the seat of the katun.<br />
Yax Chuen was the face<br />

day<br />
On the fourth night,<br />
Bearing<br />
Loaded on his back<br />
The ending<br />

That was the descent of the red stone,<br />

in general agreement. Yax Chucn was the traditionalist lord from 1658 to 1664.
