There is no direct answer to that, for the reason that the Maya were not one state, like the Aztecs. Instead, there loads of smaller kingdoms, all fighting for power, resources and control of the trade routes. The most famous of the Mayan kings was K'inich Janaab Pakal (otherwise known as Pakal the Great), who ruled the city of Palenque from 603AD to 671 AD. His tomb was found in 1952 by Alberto Ruz Lhuillier, a Mexican Archaeologist.
