Ahkal Mo' Naab' I (July 5, 465 – December 1, 524), also known as Cauac-uinal I, was a ruler of the Maya city of Palenque. He ruled from June 5, 501 AD to his death.
Ahkal Mo' Naab' I is the earliest recorded ruler of Palenque whose exact dates of birth, accession and death have been verified.[1] He was possibly the younger brother of his immediate predecessor, B'utz Aj Sak Chiik.[2]
For unknown reasons Ahkal Mo' Naab' is mentioned several times in official narratives left by Pacal the Great, who ruled Palenque a century later. It is believed Pacal considered Ahkal Mo' Naab' I a particularly important historical figure.[3]
