The number of glyphs
on the G tablet is 471. It has been established that glyph number

Gb1-6 |
Gb1-7 (236) |
In Gb1-6 'feathers'
at the top illustrate the light from the sun at high summer, and in Gb1-7 it
is all suddenly over - the power in the sky has 'toppled'.
Apparently the same event is depicted in
Aa6-14, a glyph with twice as large ordinal number (here counted
from pito at Ab8-43):
