AD 431, boom. Give or take.
There was some musing over the past decade or so that this mountain in (what is now) El Salvador went boom a century later. That would mark it as the sun-blotter in Justinian's time. Apparently... no. AD 430ish would be Valentinian III, Theodosius II, and maybe Attila.
The article says that most of the Maya - clustering north of all this - didn't care about this one. They also insist that the temperatures cooled in the southern hemisphere, not north. I doubt the tropical winds work like that. So: back to Chichon.
AFRICA 2/14/21: I can however wonder about AD 400s West Africa. Maybe the whole equatorial band.
