SAN JUAN TEOTIHUACAN, MEXICO—On 16 January 378 C.E., a stranger arrived in Tikal, a large Maya city in what is now northern Guatemala. His name was Sihyaj K’ahk’ (SEE-yah Kak), or Fire is Born, and he was likely a mighty warrior from a distant land. Many archaeologists think he hailed from Teotihuacan, a metropolis of 100,000 people about 1000 kilometers northwest of Tikal, near today’s Mexico City. And he may have come with an army.
The stone Maya monuments that record Sihyaj K’ahk’s arrival don’t say why he came or how he was received by Chak Tok Ich’aak, or Jaguar Paw, the long-reigning king of Tikal. But the day Sihyaj K’ahk’ marched into the city was the day Jaguar Paw died.
The engravings suggest Sihyaj K’ahk’ had been sent by a powerful foreign ruler called Spearthrower Owl. Within 2 years, Spearthrower Owl’s young son was crowned the new king of Tikal. In portraits carved on stone monuments there, the new king, named Yax Nuun Ayiin, holds an atlatl, a spearthrower used by Teotihuacan warriors, and wears a Teotihuacan-style headdress

Ping.

I think the author of this article meant 378 AD.
You noticed it too.
This is starting to align more and more with the Book of Mormon!
Oh wow. THAT is a new find and theory which is a major event in Mexican history.
His friends called him Chuck.
Wait... What?
When I was much younger, I made it to the top of both big pyramids at Teotihuacan, the sun and the moon. It’s a tough climb up both. At the top of each there were a kids selling bottles of Coke. Don’t know how many cases of Coke they humped up those pyramids, but they sure earned what little money they got paid. I still have some obsidian “razor blades” I found the the unexcavated parts of the site.
Lol
I feel terrible that it came to my mind but at least I didn’t type it this time:-)
Idiots like to call these days “Common Era” as if that made any sense at all. But anything to pretend Christ does not exist I suppose.
Make Mexico Mayan or Inca again and throw out the interlopers and decedents of Spain!
It’s 28th of Tevet, 4138 but they assumed the reader uses a pagan Roman calendar instead of the real one.
Thanks for this, very interesting.

If someone uses CE you can bet they are a leftist idiot.
Different attempts have been made to determine the Biblical date of the creation--by the Jewish calendar we are now in the year 5780. Archbishop Ussher put the creation in 4004 B.C. so that would make it A.M. 6023 now (A.M. = Anno Mundi). The Byzantines had a different calculation.
It would make studying Greek and Roman history easier if Abraham's birth was arbitrarily calculated as 2000 B.C. and was made the starting-point, so we could just add 2000 to current dates--we would now be in Y.A. 4020. Then we wouldn't have to count down 480 B.C., 479 B.C., 478 B.C., etc.
I love you.
That would be On 16 January 378 A.D.
