Biography

In AD 735 Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam - the fourth king of Dos Pilas kingdom - attacked Seibal, capturing Yichʼaak Bʼalam.[1] The captive king was not executed but rather became a vassal of his more powerful neighbour.[2] Yichʼaak Bʼalam is shown under the feet of Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam on Aguateca Stela 2.[3]

Yichʼaak Bʼalam continued as a vassal under the next king of Dos Pilas, Kʼawiil Chan Kʼinich, who presided over rituals at Seibal in 745 and 747.[4]

They take turns being on the outer edge of the cluster where it is cooler, and circulate back towards the center where it is warmer.This might be where you got it from?
