I have waited up until now with presenting the words of Metoro. His insights could refer not only to the stars at the Full Moon but to very many other relevant things. Foremost of these, however, should be the glyph designs. And we can anticipate that his words referred not only to specific glyphs but also to the surrounding circumstances. I.e., he could obviously have perceived the pair Bb1-12--13 as dependent upon each other.


Bb1-12	Bb1-13

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates the universe. The priests place the stones in a very particular order. First the stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern, sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position of the same solstice. This is followed by stones representing the western, sunset position of the winter solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together these four stones form a square. They sit at the four corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx ...

To understand we have to count. Twice 3 'fire feathers'

on the wings of the 'bird man' at left (Bb1-12) are followed by 2 on the wing of the man with an arm in front (Bb1-13). 3 + 3 + 2 = 8. Could it suggest the equation 8 * 45 = 360? I would prefer 6 * 70 = 420 followed by 2 * 29½, i.e. a way to point at 420 + 59 = 421 (the number of glyphs on side a) + 2 * 29 = 479 (= 364 + 115 = 4 * 91 + 460 / 4). The maximum gestation period of the Pig was 115 days → the synodic cycle of Mercury.

... Ganz ähnlich is der Name 'Gott von Duazag' des Gottes Nabū ... zu erklären. Er bezeichnet ihn als den Gott des Wachtstums, welches als aus dem Osten stammend betrachtet wird, weil die Sonne, die das Wachstum bringt, im Osten aufgeht. Dass aber Nabū als Ost-Gott aufgefasst wurde, hängt damit zusammen, dass sein Stern, der Mercur, nur im Osten oder Westen sichtbar ist ...

To change wings into arms could suggest the 'bird man' (the 'smith') had landed ('made landfall').

... During his descent the ancestor still possessed the quality of a water spirit, and his body, though preserving its human appearance, owing to its being that of a regenerated man, was equipped with four flexible limbs like serpents after the pattern of the arms of the Great Nummo. The ground was rapidly approaching. The ancestor was still standing, his arms in front of him and the hammer and anvil hanging across his limbs. The shock of his final impact on the earth when he came to the end of the rainbow, scattered in a cloud of dust the animals, vegetables and men disposed on the steps. When calm was restored, the smith was still on the roof, standing erect facing towards the north, his tools still in the same position. But in the shock of landing the hammer and the anvil had broken his arms and legs at the level of elbows and knees, which he did not have before. He thus acquired the joints proper to the new human form, which was to spread over the earth and to devote itself to toil ...

From this idea we can imagine the creator of the text had the 'Rat' (Water) at his glyph Bb1-13. Here the cycle should begin anew, this the Arabs and the Chinese seem to have agreed upon. And the man in Bb1-13 (→ 113 = normal gestation period of the Pig) has a broken wing → an arm in front. This sign should be familiar to us because it occurs in June 30 (at heliacal Sirius) in Ga2-7 (although reversed).

... In Wales as a boy I learned to respect the lapwing for the wonderful way in which she camouflages and conceals her eggs in an open field from any casual passer-by. At first I was fooled every time by her agonized peewit, peewit, screamed from the contrary direction to the one in which her eggs lay, and sometimes when she realized that I was a nest-robber, she would flap about along the ground, pretending to have a broken wing and inviting capture. But as soon as I had found one nest I could find many. The lapwing's poetic meaning is 'Disguise the Secret' and it is her extraordinary discretion which gives her the claim to sanctity. According to the Koran she was the repository of King Solomon's secrets and the most intelligent of the flock of prophetic birds that attended him ...
