STELA 1

Edzna Stela 1 was one of three monuments that
ruler 7 of the site known as Chan(?) Chuwaaj (?)
ordered to be erected, which can be read as
"Scorpion of Heaven". From the hieroglyphic
texts we know, the date of Stela 1 corresponds to
9.14.10.0.0 5 Ajaw 2(3) Mak: October 13, 721 in
the Gregorian calendar.

The monument shows Ruler 7 dressed for his
position, and the presence of a shield and the
fact that he is resting on another character
indicates that the stela not only commemorated
the end of a period, but also made reference to
some type of military victory.
