Moral Reforma facts for kids
Moral-Reforma is an ancient Maya city in Mexico. It is located in the state of Tabasco, about 70 miles (113 km) northeast of another famous Maya city called Palenque. This site was an important place for the Maya people many centuries ago.
A Look into Moral-Reforma's Past
The city of Moral-Reforma played a role in the politics of the ancient Maya world. Around the year 662 CE, a powerful ruler named Yuknoom the Great from the city of Calakmul helped a six-year-old boy named Muwaan Jol become the king of Moral-Reforma. This shows how important Calakmul was at that time.
Later, in 690 CE, the same King Muwaan Jol was again officially made king. This time, it was with the support of K'inich Kan Balam II, who was a famous ruler from Palenque. This change shows how different Maya cities sometimes competed for influence over others.
