Another example of sun depicted as a fish is seen in Gb7-10:
A new cycle is generated in Gb7-5, and in Gb7-8--9 is illustrated how the new 'sun' (year) is being 'released'. In Gb7-10 the great new 'fish' is rising. Gb7-6 seems to represent the cycle of a kind of 'year', drawn as the largest of the henua glyphs in the text of G. The numbers in the bottom line are counted from the ika glyph following immediately beyond haga te pau:
366 + 50 = 416 = 16 * 26. Both sun (26) and moon (16) have reached 'time zero' - it is a time of conjunction. |
