Ancient mayan glyphs4/19/2024 The pair of researchers say both terms, “Kokom” and “Komkom,” refer to “a sarsen plant identified with vanilla,” thus, they derived the name “Clan of the Vanilla Flower.” But the term “Kokom” also means “judge” in the Yucatecan Maya language, referring to a governmental position within the elite classes of ancient Chichen Itza. The recently published book, The Royal House of Cocom: A history of Yucatán, by Eduardo Perez de Heredia and Peter Biro. The book also explains that the Cocom lineage may have originated in the kingdom of Komkom, whose capital city coincides with the current site of Buenavista del Cayo, in Belize. The new findings are documented in Pérez de Heredia y Bíró´s new book “ La Casa Real de Cocom: Una Historia de Yucatán” or the “ The Royal House of Cocom: A history of Yucatán.” The authors trace the origin of the Cocom lineage from the Terminal Classic period to the arrival of the Toltecs in the early 10th century AD.

The Research Path Leading To The Temple of Jaguars GlyphsĪ recent Yucatan Times article says researchers Eduardo Perez de Heredia and Peter Biró´s findings “opens a new door to the knowledge of the mythical Maya city and the pre-Hispanic Maya nobility’s ancient lineages.” The researchers made their discoveries after studying the papers of Theodore Willard, (1862-1943 AD) an inventor, musician, and amateur archaeologist.

The team of archeologists claim to have identified “one of the oldest lineages in the Superior Temple of Jaguars” which corresponds to the Cocom dynasty. After seven years, the research project focusing on the ruling dynasty of Chichén Itzá, the famous ancient Maya city on the Yucatán Peninsula, has come to a close. The new book also details the horrific “ Auto de Fe Act” incident, when a Spanish bishop tortured and burned the rulers of the legendary “vanilla flower” Maya clan.
