Archaeologists discovered the tomb of the legendary Queen Maya Cable, wife of the ruler of the city-state of Calakmul. According to historians, this woman played a much more significant role in the management of their people and the Kingdom than her husband the king Kinic Balam II. She was an outstanding military leader, its glory was more men survived the Queen.

In the North-West of Guatemala on the territory of the Department of Peten (Pet?n) discovered the tomb containing the remains of the Queen of the Mayan people. Archeologists assume, that it lived in the seventh century A.D. the Queen by the name of Cable (K'abel). The Queen Maya was the honorary title Kalomt'e or Kaloomte - translated as "the Supreme warrior", so in the hierarchy of the Queen stood above her Royal spouse Kinic Balam (K'inich Bahlam). Distinguished for his excellent health Calotte Cable rules about 20 years and lived to a ripe old age.

Near the burial found a small vessel from alabaster head of an elderly woman. Dismantling the text - four marked on the vessel character - managed to learn the name of the ruler of the Empire of Vake.

Historians suggest that the Queen Cable rule the city-state Calakmul (Calakmul). The inhabitants of this region are often had to engage in clashes with powerful sovereigns El Sots (El Zotz) and Empire Tikal. It is likely that in VII century the Cable commanded the army that waged a bitter struggle against strong opponents.

Scientists still aren't sure exactly what role played by women in the Mayan culture.
