Summary
| Description |
English: Temple IV is the tallest structure at Tikal, standing around 70 meters in height. Yik'in Chan Kawil, son of Jasaw, commissioned Temple IV in the mid-8th century. Two carved wooden lintels from its summit vault, which were taken to Sweden in the early 20th century, record a long count date translating to 741 CE. A tomb has been found in the Temple, but evidence is inconclusive as to whether it contains the remains of Yik'in Chan Kawil. Temple IV's 250,000 cubic yards of stone remain largely unexcavated and unrestored, with only the upper third portion and roofcomb rising above the jungle canopy. Temple IV is currently in the process of restoration. |
