photo image of Lord Waters of Caracol in 555 A.D.Lord Waters of Caracol, Belize in 555 A.D. our calendar. This was the time of his first invasion of the Central Fuedal Kingdoms ruled by Tikal, in which is a 3 hour drive from the border of Belize today. Lord Waters of Caracol, the local Belizean king of that time, failed in his first attack on control of the Central Mayan Feudal Kingdoms, but did succeed on his second attack some seven years later. When Caracol ruled the Mayan Empire during that period of 562 A.D. for the next decades.
Today Caracol is still the tallest Mayan temple in Belize and taller than any other building built in modern times. The Mayan site is remote, and an all day tour into the hinterland and over three low mountain ranges far into the interior. Belizeans are proud that once for a couple of hundred years, an ancient city of ours ruled the Mayan Empire.
