If we add 53 to the number of glyphs from Ha1-1 to *Ha6-28 the sum becomes 356 or 2 more than 354 = 12 * 29½:
My instinct says it must then be glyph number *Ha6-26 which is of main importance, not *Ha6-28:
'Proof' is delivered by counting 1296 - 354 = 2 * 471 (the number of glyphs on the G tablet). If we count 2 glyphs per day beyond *Ha6-26, then the measure of the H text will be 354 + 471 = 825 days, or - if we prefer to use the method in G - equal to 12 (Sun) + 16 (Moon) = 28 lunar months = 826 days. 471 is of importance because 471 = 314 (i.e. 100π) * 150%. The number can therefore be used as a sign of 75 % of a circle. And 1296 - 354 = 942 will then be 3 * 314 or a sign for 1½ cycles. The missing half should be 354 (because Sun has only one 'limb'). Moon counts for 2 (waxing and waning) but Sun only for 1 (his other 'face' is absent looking at his Winter Maid north of the equator), therefore the number of glyphs in G is not 200 % * 314, but only 150 % * 314. Saturn in *Ha6-25 indicates the end of 6 * 25 = 150 days, and - we can assume - the 'one-limb' cycle of Sun ends in high summer. It begins some 300 days earlier, at winter solstice. Vae in *Ha6-27 indicates Sun is leaving. The half hidden glyphs could signify a cloud cover, and presumably the glyph type in *Ha6-26 is hakaua (making rain). T - the parellel glyph in P is a hakaua:
Maybe the 'cloud cover' is the result of rain pouring over fire - it is smoke. The 'smoking mirror', Tezcatlipoca, is the opposite of Quetzalcoatl. It might be of interest to look at the beginning of this inferred 354-day long cycle:
Possibly also the text of G indicates a final when there are 53 glyphs (days) remaining on side b:
Mars in position 418 'inhabits' Gb7-7 (like the square of 7), and - we remember - it was Mars also at hura in Ca5-14:
In line Hb11 Mars is illustrated by the vae kore (Hb11-49) preceding hura. Mercury marks the limit of Mars in the same way as Moon defines the limit of Sun. 49 = 7 * 7 and 11 says 'one more', i.e. a new 'baby' could be on his way. The ordinal number counted from Hb1-1 is 594 = 6 * 99 and 59 * 4 = 236 = 8 * 29.5. Hura at right in Hb11-50 is leaning forward, which probably means we have not yet arrived to the time of hura, it lies somewhere ahead. It is still a dark time (cfr e.g. the henua ora signs). In Gb7-8 the 'fire in the sky' is hidden behind a puo sign and the Saturn ariki in Gb7-11 has 3 'feathers' at the back of his head, while in Ca5-15 the sun disc evidently can be observed again. We should also investigate (although just quickly) the surroundings of *Ha6-25--29. |
