Bonampak by 600 CE had become a satellite of [[Yaxchilan]]. In that time, the ''ajaw'' of Yaxchilan installed Yajaw Chan Muwaan I as lord in Bonampak. Subsequent ''ajawob'' reconstructed the site to orient toward the metropolis. C. 790 CE, Yaxchilan's king Shield Jaguar III oversaw the installation of Chan Muwaan II, and hired Yaxchilano artisans to commemorate it in "Structure I"'s murals. Bonampak collapsed with Yaxchilan in the 9th century.<ref>David Stuart: "Orienting Bonampak", http://decipherment.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/orienting-bonampak/, April 30, 2009</ref>
