Yuknoom Yichʼaak Kʼahkʼ

'Jaguar Paw Smoke'; October 6, 649 – December 15, 697[1]) was a Maya king of the Kaan kingdom, which had its capital at Calakmul during the Classic Period of Mesoamerican chronology.These include military triumphs over Tikal in 677 and (quite probably) 679; supervision of the accessions of kings of Moral and Cancuen in 662 and 677 respectively; the dispatching of Lady Six Sky from Dos Pilas to re-seed the dynasty of Naranjo in 682, and a lieutenant's action expressive of Kaan overlordship at Piedras Negras in 685.Yichʼaak Kʼahk's[3] accession was recorded at El Perú by local ruler Kʼinich Bahlam and at Dos Pilas by Bʼalaj Chan Kʼawiil.In 695 Calakmul suffered a military defeat at the hands of Tikal and it was believed that the king was killed or captured in that battle.A stucco scene at Tikal shows a prisoner being "adorned" for sacrifice and names the Kaan king in a related caption; the text is damaged and in its current condition it allowed for the possibility that it referred to Yichʼaak Kʼahkʼ himself instead of him being the overlord of the prisoner to be killed.
