Tikal
Tikal says "Little is known about Chak Tok Ich'aak except that he was killed on 14 January 378 AD. On the same day, Siyah K’ak’ (Fire Is Born) arrived from the west..." I took that to mean that Siyah K'ak' conquered it on 14 January but I suppose the wording leaves open the possibility that he hung around for two days first. —howcheng {chat} 18:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Howcheng:, the National Geographic reference in Siyaj K'ak' [1] includes the following:
Fire Is Born's forces continued their march on the city. By January 16, 378—barely a week after his arrival in Waka—the conqueror was in Tikal.
