By adding together the number of glyphs in the 20 first lines on the B tablet, 421 + 418 = 839, we can infer that we perhaps ought to add the empty glyph space at Almaaz at the beginning of the text: 1 + 421 = 422 = 840 - 418. 840 → 84 → the day number for the Julian equinox ('March 25).

The sum of glyphs on the C tablet, 392 + 348 = 740, similarly suggests 10 times the right ascension day number for Almaaz (*74).

The first glyph on side a of the C text probably corresponds to the first day after 0h (the Gregorian spring equinox, March 21 at Sirrah). 392 is an even number and the heliacal position of Sirrah (the Navel of the Horse) at 0h should then not be counted.

... Time flows on and not until its measures have been completed in full can there be notches (nights) carved into the wood ...

The end of the Pegasus Square, the Wall of the House at the top of the year, had a square entrance (birth) opening in the east for those who - like the Mayas - were living north of the equator, and this was reflected (†) in another square exit opening at autumn equinox:

The C text has Polaris at the last glyph on its side a and side b is beginning with glyph number 393. The B text has day 393 (January 28) at the beginning of side b. Why was that so?

A possible explanation might be to show how Polaris (*26.6) was located at the north pole in contrast to Dramasa (*320.0) at the south pole, around 290 right ascension days apart. 320 - 290 = 30 Hamal (the Prince).

Or better: 365.25 + 26.6 - 320.0 = 71.85 Cb2-21.

26000 / 71 = 366.

26000 / 71.85 = 362.

26000 / 72 = 361 → Vega (*281.8, 362) → *282 = *202 (Spica) + *80.

... On the last day, they issue forth to battle in martial array. Says Grimnismal (23): 'Five hundred gates and forty more - are in the mighty building of Walhalla - eight hundred 'Einherier' come out of each one gate - on the time they go out on defence against the Wolf.' That makes 432,000 in all, a number of significance from of old ... [E:16]

... In China, with Capricornus, Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius, it [Aquarius] constituted the early Serpent, or Turtle, Tien Yuen; and later was known as Hiuen Ying, the Dark Warrior and Hero, or Darkly Flourishing One, the Hiuen Wu, or Hiuen Heaou, of the Han dynasty, which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became Paou Ping, the Precious Vase. It contained three of the sieu, and headed the list of zodiac signs as the Rat, which in the far East was the ideograph for 'water', and still so remains in the almanacs of Central Asia, Cochin China, and Japan ...

... 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 ...

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...
