Stela 11, the last monument ever erected…

879 CE

Stela 11, the last monument ever erected at Tikal, is dedicated by Jasaw Chan K'awiil II.

It seems the great drought that ravages Central America in the ninth century, internal wars, ecological disasters and famine, have destroyed the Mayan political system, leading to popular uprisings and the defeat of the dominant political groups.
