The Conquerors

The Conquerors were a prominent formation within the ancient Mayan civilization, primarily active during the Late Classic period (around 600-900 AD). They played a key role as military leaders, political figures, and warriors who expanded territories and maintained dominance through conquest. Their influence extended over large areas in what is now Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. The Conquerors helped shape Mayan society by enforcing control, fostering alliances, and extracting tribute from subjugated regions. Their legacy is reflected in archaeological remains, inscriptions, and artworks that highlight their formidable role in Mayan history.
