Jasaw Chan K'awiil I

Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil I also known as Ruler A, Ah Cacao and Sky Rain (before 682–734), was an ajaw of the Maya city of Tikal. He took the throne on 3 May 682, and reigned until his death.

Biography Before advances in the decipherment of the Maya script revealed this reading of his name, this ruler was also known to researchers as Tikal Ruler A, Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil or by the nickname Ah Cacao.

Two structures at Tikal in particular are associated with Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil. Tikal Temple I is a classically Petén-styled stepped pyramid structure which served as this ruler's tomb, although it is unclear whether it was built for this specific purpose. Tikal Temple II served as the tomb for his wife, Lady Lahan Unen Moʼ (died ). His successor was his son Yikʼin Chan Kʼawiil.
