Stucco portrait of king Pakal, Palenque. K'inich Janaab Pakal I was born on March 23, 603. He was born at a particularly violent time in the history of Palenque. Pakal ascended the throne at age 12 in July, 615 and lived to the age of 80. He expanded Palenque's power in the western part of the Maya states and initiated a building program at his capital that produced some of Maya civilization's finest art and architecture.
