Yax Nuun Ayiin II was a ruler of the Maya civilization polity of Tikal in the Petén Basin region, during the Late Classic period of Mesoamerican chronology. He acceded to the rulership in 768, and ruled for at least twenty-six years to ca. 794. In the inscriptions he is styled as the 29th ruler of the dynastic succession, counted from the dynastic founder. [Sharer and Traxler (2006), p.313.]
