Both 99 and 250 are numbers we have learnt to associate with Venus.
99 is the number of lunar months needed to reach 2920 days = 5 * 584 = 8 * 365 days (and 99 * 29.5 = 2920.5). 250, we have discovered, equals 314 - 64, and counting from Ga1-1 there could be a glyph which represents Venus:
In H (counting 3 glyphs per day from Ha1-4) day 250 equals glyph 750 at Hb3-6, and obviously a 'break in time' is announced at that point in the text:
Friday (Venus) is the first day of the cycle. Day 314 could be its last day. There are 1296 glyphs in H and 1296 - 3 * 314 = 354 (= 12 * 29.5). |
