Yax B'alam    Ruler of Santa Elena Poco Uinic (born AD 766(?), ruled 782-790)SEP 001
Buildings Commissioned:
Very likely Yax B'alam was responsible for some of the structures of Santa Elena Poco Uinic, but exactly which ones is not known. Stela 3 was set in front of a small pyramid 't', which thus might have been commissioned by Yax B'alam. Pyramid 'Ch' might also have been commissioned by Yax B'alam, if Stela 1 (set in front of the pyramid) is one of his monuments.
