Correct response: "In life, he expanded his empire. In death, his tomb and the decorations placed in it and upon it underscore the complexity of the Mayan Empire."

Brief explanation: K'inich Janaab' Pakal I (Pacal the Great) ruled Palenque (615–683 CE) and oversaw military, political, and dynastic expansion as well as major architectural and inscriptional building programs that made Palenque a regional power. His elaborate tomb and its richly carved lid and funerary art reflect sophisticated Maya cosmology, artistry, and political ideology (not modern notions like "space travel").
