As I remember it Hamlet had perceived
there was 'something rotten in the state
of Denmark'. And then, curiously, the
name of the last Quiche
capital was Rotten Cane:
... In the present
context 'mouth' has an additional
connotation, given that it refers in part to
Heart of Earth, the deity called 'Mundo'
today. This is the great Mesoamerican earth
deity, the ultimate swallower of all living
beings, depicted in Classic Mayan art (in
the Palenque relief panels, for example) as
an enormous pair of jaws upon whose lips
even the feet of great lords must rest in
precarious balance, and into whose throat
even great lords must fall. Turning to the
contemporary scene, daykeepers who visit the
main cave beneath the ruins of Rotten Cane,
the last Quiché capital, speak of the danger
of falling into 'the open mouth of the
Mundo' there, which is said to be more than
four yards wide ...
Rotten Melon was the name of
ε Delphini,
the star at its tail:
So what?
Let's try to count 4 * 29 glyphs
before Bb4-17.
138 (Bb4-17) - 116 = 22 and 421 + 22 =
443 (= 207 + 8 * 29½ = 236 + 7 * 29½ + ½).

The Maori people
say that the

which certainly
is shaped much
like a fish, is
Te Ika a Maui;
and according to
some tribes the
south island is
the canoe from
which he caught
it. And his hook
is the cape at
Heretaunga
once known as
Te matau a Maui,
Maui's Fishhook

that theirs is

of 7 neck bones, 12
dorsal bones and 5
tail bones, 24
vertebra in all.
Certainly this was
noticed very early
and thereafter
incorporated into
the myths, wherever
suitable. 5 tail
bones (although no
tail was visible
outside the human
body) must
correspond to the 5
extra days at the
end of the year (not
