The order to read Tahua seems to be as Metoro did it, to begin with side b:
Hahe in Ab2-36 will then get number 118 which is in beautiful harmony with 2-36, alluding to 8 * 29.5. If we add 64, the day number can be read as 118 + 64 = 182 - which can be understood either as midsummer (counted from winter solstice) or as midwinter (counted from summer solstice). At viri I made an observation regarding a possible hidden meaning in number 53: ... 99 is a number connecting to the cycle of Venus: "After five complete cycles totaling 2,920 days, the movement of Venus fill eight idealized years of 365 days each and come within hours of spanning 99 lunations." (Popol Vuh) 2,920 / 99 = 29.49 and a synodic month is 29.53 days ... The more exact number 29.53 incorporates the fraction 53 / 100. The beginning of the Keiti text is structured as 7 + 99 = 106 glyphs. And 628 - 106 = 522 = 18 * 29 is the number of the remaining glyphs of the text. |
