This is a first approximation of the 24-glyph long sequence which seems to constitute a week:
There are very many signs which can help us to understand. To begin with the reversed tapa mea ('no daylight' - the 5 true planets need the fall of night to become visible):
However, moon has her 'feathers of light' oriented forward (Ca2-24), they can be seen also in broad daylight. Mars and Jupiter (Ca3-2 respectively Ca3-9) have thick reversed tapa mea glyphs - presumably indicating strong light (in the night). Mercury is the opposite, he has only a weak light, and Saturn has the same characteristic. Two powerful planets (Mars and Jupiter) are counterbalanced by two weak ones (Mercury and Saturn). Venus is special, her tapa mea has at left a straight vertical line - by Venus time measurements are made. 4 'feathers' for the moon (she is close to the earth), and 6 for the true planets - excepting Jupiter who gets 7. The sum for the true planets is 4 * 6 + 7 = 31. With Jupiter comes the final and also the new beginning - 'one more' than 30. He seems to stand inside the 'door' (to the new year), though still it is dark. 64 is the number of the last glyph in Thursday. Then the morning star will rise. Her fists are held high and full. But the hands of Jupiter are 'in straw' (formed like Y). |
