Gb2-27 is, it seems, the beginning of a season with 171 days when sun is away:
If sun is given 300 days for his presence on the island, then by adding 171 days we reach the number of glyphs of the G tablet. But in order to reach ordinal number 300 at Gb2-26 we must start counting from vero in Gb8-12:
And 18 must be added to the ordinal numbers we have derived by counting from Gb8-30:
The unusual Gb2-16 (at 10 * 29 = 290) maybe can be understood to mean that there are 4 periods during sun's climbing up and 2 during his descent. A final 3rd period has no visbile 'sun ball'. Possibly the 2 periods from midsummer could be referring to the thunder twins. |
