The model predicts there should be 68 glyphs before the start of summer and another group of 68 glyphs beyond the end of summer. Sun will rise also during 68 days ending at Hanga Takaure (because from winter solstice to spring equinox sun will steadily advance higher in the sky). Likewise sun will continue to decline even after autumn equinox:
The model has payed off: Gb5-6 is glyph number 360 counted from Gb8-30. It is hardly a coincidence to find it also at the end of sun's decline. We do not have to explain why there are 129 glyphs between Gb5-6 and Ga1-17 (and neither what the corresponding 26 glyphs between Ga6-13 and Ga7-11 may mean). Maybe 129 = 26 + 44 + 59. The difference in number of glyphs between Takaure and Honu is 265 - 206 = 59 (= 2 * 29.5). |
