Tikal Temple I, also known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar or the Temple of Ah Cacao, is a major structure at the ancient Maya city of Tikal in Guatemala. Built around 732 AD, this limestone pyramid stands out with its nine stepped levels and a funerary shrine at the top. The temple is associated with Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil I, a powerful ruler of Tikal, whose tomb was discovered deep within the structure in 1962. Rich offerings, including jade ornaments and intricate carvings, were found in the tomb, shedding light on the elaborate burial practices of the Maya civilization. Today, Temple I remains a fascinating archaeological site that showcases the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Maya architecture and culture.
