sentences:  It was ruled by a succession of kings, the majority of which bore variations on the name Chan Ahk ("Sky/Serpent Turtle").Unlike the majority of Late Classic kings, who bear the title "k'uhul ajaw" or "holy lord" in their names (a title indicating the relative divinity of the ruler), the kings of Zapote Bobal only used "ajaw".It is unclear why this was the case, although it is possible that, as a "new" center under military and diplomatic pressure from established sites, the lords of Zapote Bobal did not have the power (real or perceived) to add "k'uhul" to their list of accomplishments on Maya stelae.
