Question

HELP MEEEEE What allowed Pacal II to declare he was a god king?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. His mother was the "first mother" therefore a goddess.

Explanation:

Pacal II was just a little boy when his father died. As the rightful heir to the throne, he could not begin rulership as he was just a boy. His mother Sackuk assumed the throne and handed over rulership to him when he turned twelve. He ruled from 615 B.C to 683 B.C. He did at the age of 80.

He was known for declaring himself a god-king because he assigned his mother the title of the First Mother. The first mother was a goddess before the present earth. Since he received his Kingship directly from his mother, he must have found it right to confer her with such a title. The inscriptions of the title are found in his architectural works.
