Archaeologists in Belize have unearthed the tomb of the first ruler of the ancient Maya city of Caracol, which was a major center in the Maya Lowlands during the sixth and seventh centuries.
The tomb of Caracol's king, named Te K'ab Chaak (Mayan for "Tree Branch Rain God") dates to about A.D. 350; he had ascended the throne at Caracol in 331.
