1st European Maya Conference
Maya Kings and Warfare in the Usumacinta Basin
The Maya Conference held at the British Museum from June 22 trough 26, 1996 was not a Wayeb event. But it was the first European Maya Meeting and a great success. Later that year, a group of European Mayanists met in Brussels to create Wayeb.
Wayeb has ever since been associated with these meetings, in 2001, Wayeb assumed official repsonsibility for the EMC.
