Dos Pilas is a Pre-Columbian site of the Maya civilization located in what is now the department of Petén, Guatemala. It dates to the Late Classic Period, being founded by an offshoot of the dynasty of the great city of Tikal in AD 629 in order to control trade routes in the Petexbatún region, particularly the Pasión River. In AD 648 Dos Pilas broke away from Tikal and became a vassal state of Calakmul, although the first two kings of Dos Pilas continued to use the same emblem glyph that Tikal did. It was a predator state from the beginning, conquering Itzan, Arroyo de Piedra and Tamarindito. Dos Pilas and a nearby city, Aguateca, eventually became the twin capitals of a single ruling dynasty. The kingdom as a whole has been named as the Petexbatun Kingdom, after Lake Petexbatún, a body of water draining into the Pasión River.
Dos Pilas gives an important glimpse into the great rivalries and political strife that characterised the Late Classic. Much of the history of Dos Pilas can now be reconstructed, with a level of detail which is almost unparalleled in the Maya area.

Dizzy Spells
by: Josh WoodwardOur colony
Is shining through the shaking of the artificial moon
The light of noon
Cut ragged glass
Kalidoscope of soapy film refract the rays that pass
The blades of grass
Recite the words that you were taught
The face of man
You stare into the center as the colors bleed away
The dryest rain
You feel the same
The dirt beneath your saddle boots is snaping as you
step
Into the scene
This life is just a pale frame
Don't you ever worry bout those dizzy spells you feel
That's just the taming of the ghosts
They can't hurt you, they'll desert you now
Take up your arms
The final day is here, you feel the pinging in your ear
Now disappear
The flaming sky
The rally of a lost July, the night preceds the
lullabye
