The Mayan Empire, renowned for its architectural marvels and profound cultural achievements, flourished from approximately 2000 B.C. to 1500 A.D. in modern-day Mexico and Central America. The civilization’s legacy includes towering pyramids, elaborate carvings, and a deep understanding of astronomy and the natural world.
Celebrates Culture
“This new series celebrates a culture that was far ahead of its time and set the base for the cultures of modern Mexico and Central America,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “The first edition of the series honors one of the longest and most impactful eras of the empire. Many of the great innovations and architectural works of this period still exist today, and this installment is just one of many ways that the legacy of this empire lives on.”
The initial production of this series is a homage to K’inich Janaab’ Pakal, or Pakal the Great. He ruled the city-state of Palenque from 615 A.D. for nearly seven decades. His reign marked a golden age of cultural, architectural, and scientific advancement. The construction of grand temples, including the Temple of the Inscriptions, which houses his elaborately carved sarcophagus, was noteworthy.
