I don't think K’inich Janaab ‘Pakal should be referred to as the King of Mexico. Mexico, as we know it, didn't exist at the time, and his kingdom consisted of the medium-sized city of Palenque in the Yucatan. the entire Mayan civilization never extended throughout Mexico, but was confined largely to the Yucatan, Guatemala, and parts of Belize, Honduras and El Salvador.
