Perhaps this fact should be primarily interpreted as the difference in
precessional time depth between that of the Era of Cursa (*70)
and that of the Era of the Golden Calf (*64).

In May 28 (*68) Itzam-Yeh (Ursa Major) had been defeated. Since then (3149
BC) the precession would have carried the fixed stars ahead with around 70
days, which implies we could look for signs of Itzam-Yeh around
right ascension day *68 + *2 = 150 (May
30). Cfr Ga1-6 resp Ga7-19 (188 = 6 + 182) ...

... Offended by his pride, the Hero Twins
humbled him by breaking his beautiful shining tooth with a
pellet from their blowgun. This pot shows One-Ahaw aiming at the
bird as he swoops down to land in his tree. As Itzam-Yeh
lands on his perch, the text tells us he is 'entering or
becoming the sky' ...

But alternative
explanations can easily be found.
Due to the length of the Tahua text I thought it would be the best
tablet to use when searching for such a high number as 584.
And surely the creator of this magnificent text ought to have
made use of the 'crack' on side b between line 6 and 7. Or it
could have been put there by some later person with the same
mind.
Metoro began his reading of the Tahua text on its side b.
And viri in
Ab7-26 corresponds to position 522 = 29 * 18
→ 29 * 46 - 29 * 28.
Allusions in form of for instance
82 * 6 (= 492 → 500
- 8) and 72 * 6 (= 432 → 492
- 60) might have been - as if by chance - embedded.
