Note: As of late 2021, this blog is still intended to be revisited and worked on further. It will be updated, hopefully fairly soon.
This is the current pass at the dates. If more evidence comes to light, it will be added, and when Avengers 4 is released, and any other future releases containing T'Challa and/or Nakia, things will also be tweaked to reflect Chadwick Boseman's age at the time of shooting each film, working back from when each is set.
Also, a deleted scene revealed that the scene with young T'Chaka and T'Challa shown when T'Challa enters the Ancestral Plane is, in fact, later in the same day after T'Chaka kills N'Jobu, and also features a young Nakia.

- T'Challa's Date of Birth

T'Chaka's Date of Birth[]
List of Evidence[]
JOHN KANI
- John Kani plays T'Chaka in Captain America: Civil War in two scenes, one on June 19, 2016 and one on June 22, 2016, so the middle is set on June 20.5, 2016, and the middle of filming for which was June 24.5, 2015. Kani was born on August 30, 1943, making him approximately 26,231.5 days old at the middle of filming. Working back, this would place T'Chaka's date of birth around August 26, 1944.
- Kani plays T'Chaka again in Black Panther as a spirit, so preserved as he was when he died on June 22, 2016, and the middle of filming for which was March 6, 2017. Kani would have therefore been approximately 26,852 days old at the middle of filming. Working back, this would place T'Challa's date of birth around December 16, 1942.
- Where does this place it, ideally?: Working back, ([August 26, 1944] × (1 ÷ (26,231.5 ÷ 365.25)) + [December 16, 1942] × (1 ÷ (26,852 ÷ 365.25))) ÷ ((1 ÷ (26,231.5 ÷ 365.25)) + (1 ÷ (26,852 ÷ 365.25))) = October 25.11779, 1943.
- How important/reliable is this piece of evidence?: Actor's age, so 4 ÷ age in years instead of days of leniency. Value: 4.
- Earliest interpretation: N/A.
- Latest interpretation: N/A.
- October 25.11779, 1943, weight 4 ÷ (2 ÷ [(1 ÷ (26,231.5 ÷ 365.25)) + (1 ÷ (26,852 ÷ 365.25))]) = 0.05505.
Overall Result[]
October 25.11779, 1943. Weight 0.05505.
Zuri's Date of Birth[]

- Where does this place it, ideally?: November 11, 1960.
- How important/reliable is this piece of evidence?: Actor's age, so 4 ÷ age in years instead of days of leniency. Value: 4.
- Earliest interpretation: N/A.
- Latest interpretation: N/A.
- November 11, 1960, weight 4 ÷ (20,323 ÷ 365.25) = 0.07189.

- Boseman plays T'Challa again in Black Panther, the middle of which is set on July 3, 2016, and the middle of filming for which was March 6, 2017. Boseman would have therefore been approximately 14,707 days old at the middle of filming. Working back, this would place T'Challa's date of birth around March 28, 1976.
- Boseman plays T'Challa again in Avengers: Infinity War, the middle of which is set on January 11, 2018, and the middle of filming for which was April 19, 2017. Boseman would have therefore been approximately 14,751 days old at the middle of filming. Working back, this would place T'Challa's date of birth around August 23, 1977.
- Where does this place it, ideally?: Working back, ([November 28.5, 1977] × (1 ÷ (14,086.5 ÷ 365.25)) + [March 28, 1976] × (1 ÷ (14,707 ÷ 365.25)) + [August 23, 1977] × (1 ÷ (14,751 ÷ 365.25))) ÷ ((1 ÷ (14,086.5 ÷ 365.25)) + (1 ÷ (14,707 ÷ 365.25)) + (1 ÷ (14,751 ÷ 365.25))) = April 9.78257, 1977.

Attack on Wakanda[]
ALMOST 30 YEARS
- On July 1, 2016, T'Challa refers to the attack on Wakanda as "almost 30 years" ago.
- Where does this place it, ideally?: "Almost 30 years" can be approximated as whichever is earlier, 27.5 years or the beginning of the 27th calendar year before. In this case, both give January 1, 1989.
- How important/reliable is this piece of evidence?: Non-contradictory dialogue. Value: 3000.
- Absolute earliest interpretation: Turns 30 years ago tomorrow, July 2, 1986.
- Earliest possible interpretation: Turns 30 years ago next month, August 1, 1986.
- Earliest realistic interpretation: Turns 30 years ago next calendar year, January 1, 1987.
- Latest realistic interpretation: 26 calendar years ago (enough to get past calling it "25 years ago"), December 31, 1990. However, latest possible from other evidence is December 31, 1989.
- Latest possible interpretation: 25.0 years ago, the very shortest that is closer to 30 than 20 years ago, July 1, 1991. However, absolute latest from other evidence is June 22, 1991.
- Absolute latest interpretation: 24 calendar years ago, if it's any later there's no way you are referring to it as 30 years ago, December 31, 1992.
- (([July 2, 1986] × 1 + [August 1, 1986] × 2 + [January 1, 1987] × 4) ÷ 7) to (([December 31, 1989] × 4 + [June 22, 1991] × 2 + [December 31, 1992] × 1) ÷ 7) = October 23.14286, 1986 to November 6.28571, 1990 = 1475.14285 days of leniency. January 1, 1989, weight 3000 ÷ 1475.14285 = 2.03370.

- Where does this place it, ideally?: T'Chaka died on June 22, 2016. 30 years before that is ([June 22, 2016 - 30 years] × 2 + [middle of (2016 - 30 years)] × 1) ÷ 3 = ([June 22, 1986] × 2 + [July 2, 1986] × 1) ÷ 3 = June 25.33333, 1986. However, earliest realistic as shown below is August 1, 1986.
- How important/reliable is this piece of evidence?: Non-contradictory dialogue. Value: 3000.
- Absolute earliest interpretation: 3 decades ago, January 1, 1980.

- Earliest realistic interpretation: Just under 32½ years, so 30 years to the nearest 5 years, December 23, 1983. However, earliest possible from other evidence is August 1, 1986.
- Latest realistic interpretation: 27½ years, so 30 years to the nearest 5 years, December 22, 1988.

FOR 30 YEARS

Overall Result[]
([January 1, 1989] × 2.03370 + [August 1, 1986] × 2.05038 + [August 1, 1986] × 1.01882) ÷ (2.03370 + 2.05038 + 1.01882) = July 19.30767, 1987. Weight 2.03370 + 2.05038 + 1.01882 = 5.10290.

One more thing needs to be considered. T'Chaka is older than N'Jobu, but does that naturally work out with these results?
Sterling K. Brown was born on April 5, 1976, making him approximately 14,945 days old at the middle of filming on March 6, 2017. Working back from February 6, 1992, that would put his date of birth on March 8, 1951. This is before T'Chaka's date of birth. So, N'Jobu's date of birth needs to also be factored in.
Second Pass[]
Now, the events to be dated are:
- T'Chaka's Date of Birth
- N'Jobu's Date of Birth
- Zuri's Date of Birth
- T'Challa's Date of Birth
- Nakia's Date of Birth
- Killmonger's Date of Birth
- Attack on Wakanda
- 1992 Scenes
New Evidence[]
T'Chaka's Date of Birth → N'Jobu's Date of Birth[]
- We have to apply the factor that N'Jobu's date of birth is after T'Chaka's. Since the first pass is pulling them the wrong way around, we are simply looking at the minimum amount of time between babies, to pull them into the right order.
- How long does this suggest between the two events, ideally?: The realistic minimum, 6 months between birth and next conception, plus an average pregnancy. An average pregnancy is 280 days from the beginning of the menstrual cycle, which on average would be about 28 days long, with pregnancy possible from Day 11-28. The middle being Day 19/20, 20 days after the beginning, meaning an average pregnancy is 260 days. So, 182.625 + 260 = 442.625 days.
- How important/reliable is this piece of evidence?: Factual. Value: 7500.
- Absolute shortest interpretation: Pregnancy began very shortly after the last, a month or so, and was a few weeks premature, about 35 days (5 weeks). 30.4375 + 260 - 35 = 255.4375 days.
- Shortest possible interpretation: At least 3 months between birth and next conception, halfway to the realistic gap, and then a couple of weeks premature, about 17.5 days (2.5 weeks). 91.3125 + 260 - 17.5 = 333.8125 days.
- Shortest realistic interpretation: Realistically 6 months between birth and next conception, plus an average pregnancy, 260 days. 182.625 + 260 = 442.625 days.
- Longest interpretation: Because, as said above, we're simply applying the minimum realistic time between births to shuffle things into the right order, the longest interpretation will also be the shortest realistic interpretation, 442.625 days.
- (([255.4375 days] × 1 + [333.8125 days] × 2 + [442.625 days] × 4) ÷ 7) to 442.625 days = 384.79464 days to 442.625 days = 58.83036 inclusive days of leniency. 442.625 days, weight 7500 ÷ 58.83036 = 127.48520.
Overall Result[]
442.625 days. Weight 127.48520.
N'Jobu's Date of Birth → 1992 Scenes[]
STERLING K. BROWN
- Sterling K. Brown was born on April 5, 1976, making him approximately 14,945 days old at the middle of filming on March 6, 2017.
- How long does this suggest between the two events, ideally?: 14,945 days.
- How important/reliable is this piece of evidence?: Actor's age, so 4 ÷ age in years instead of days of leniency. Value: 4.
- Shortest interpretation: N/A.
- Longest interpretation: N/A.
- 14,945 days, weight 4 ÷ (14,945 ÷ 365.25) = 0.09776.
