In 1994, archaeologists uncovered a spectacular Maya tomb inside Temple XIII in the ruins of Palenque, Mexico. The remains belonged to an unknown noblewoman, now called the Red Queen, named for the thick layer of toxic red cinnabar that coated her skeleton.

Found with rich jade jewelry, ceremonial objects, and offerings, this burial rivals that of King Pakal the Great, whose tomb lies nearby in Temple of the Inscriptions. Many believe the Red Queen could have been Pakal’s wife or mother — but her true identity remains a mystery.
