The mistory of the red queen

There were three possible people that could of been the queen when they found the skeleton. It was hard to find out because it was covered in cinabar so the dna was not really good . the first person they thought was the queen was Yoliknal. king Pakal ruled Palanke 8603-783. In 1952 Pakal tomb stone was found he was covered in cinabar . they were barried in the heart of the temple .
The second person they thought it was Yoliknal there were other skeletons there but were'nt covered in cinabar so they were not important. There were three canidates to test for being the queen . The third person was King Pakal's wife Tzakbu ajaw . she was mistory because no one knew were she was from . All they knew is she wasn't from Palenke. it took her nine years to have a baby and another nine years to have another one . she did live long enough to see her kingdom grow . in the year [672] she died and eleven years later her husband died . it took three years to find out who that skeleton was . the dna testing proved that tzabu ajaw .

Relatoinship Bill of rights

I have the right the right to be treated with dignity and respect .

I have the right to be treated with respect and dignity because for a time in my life i didnt get the respect I deserved and you should never feel low about yourself. For example don' t let anyone tell you that you're not good enough. So that's why i deserve respect and my dignity.


I have the right to make mistakes and not have to be perfect .

Everyone makes mistakes and i made a mistake and lost my mom's trust. For example I snuck around my moms back just to see my boyfriend it wasn't worth it . We got over the trust issues and i deserve the same from my partner . Thats why i deserve the right to not be perfect.
