Watʼul Chatel
Watʼul Chatel was a king of Seibal, the Maya city. He is also known as Aj Bʼolon Haabʼtal. Biography
Seibal's refounding took place in AD 830 when Watʼul Chatel became a king, as a vassal of Chan Ekʼ Hopet of Ucanal. The new king dedicated a new building and stelae in 849, overseen by Jewel Kʼawil, the king of Tikal, and Chan Pet, king of Calakmul. Watʼul Chatel built an innovative new temple-stelae arrangement to the south of the Central Plaza of Group A. His last monument was erected in 889, almost 60 years after his accession. Depictions
