The Chilam Balam of Tizimín, describes Zuytok Ah Tutul Xiu as the founder of the city of Uxmal in the Katun 10 Ahau (669). However, the Chilam Balam of Mani describes the same fact in the Katun 2 Ahau (620).
Three centuries later the priestly house of Tutul-Xiu of Uxmal was part of the League of Mayapan. This dynastic line of succession is believed to have begun around 435 AD. The eruption of a volcano in 430 AD may have disrupted the line of succession.
