Although the 42 first glyphs of Y now have been perceived as 24 + 18, it was earlier (cfr at vaha kai) noted a symmetry with 21 + 21 = 42:
The arrangment in 24 + 18 = 42 glyphs for the two following calendars (II and III) has now become even more a sign of a total design consisting of 84 glyphs. Hahe in Ya1-3 is at the beginning of calendar I:
... And the statues, hewn in either wood or stone, kept in each man's home and regarded as gods, were all cast into the water. Also (were) these (cast away) - the pestles and the (three) hearth stones (upon which the cooking pots rested); and everywhere there was much sweeping - there was sweeping very clear. Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in any of the houses ... If these Mayan ideas were similar to those on Easter Island, then we can expect the old was swept away before a 'new dawn' could be generated (Rei at Ya1-5). The old year is in the background and 'falling on its face' (Ya1-3). |
