Talk:Motul de San José

Unreferenced event removed from article
I've remove the following entry from the historical events section. I wrote it a long time ago and, in spite of searching my sources, have been unable to find where I got it from:

"There is a glyphic record that sometime before 731 a lord of Motul was captured by a lord of Machaquilá."

I've moved it here until I can reference it. Simon Burchell (talk) 10:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It's mentioned in T. Patrick Culbert's Classic Maya Political History, on p.63 of the 1st pbk edn, in the chapter on Pasion region polities by Mathews and Willey. The capture is mentioned in association with Machaquila's Ruler B. Not made clear though just which actual inscription this comes from - in that book at least. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 01:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I've now reinstated the cut material, and added some extra stuff from the same page. Simon Burchell (talk) 08:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

San José or Motul?
Is the present-day village known as San José, or as Motul de San José? In case it is simply called San José, where does the Motul part come from?77.162.130.139 (talk) 12:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The village is called San José. I believe the "Motul" part comes from the traditional Maya name for the ruins. I think I read somewhere that it may be linked to the "Mutal" name used for Tikal, although I can't remember where I got that idea from, so take it with a pinch of salt. Note that the ruins are some kilometers from the village, so Motul de San José means, more-or-less, Motul within the district of San José. Regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 12:25, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
