The beginning of the text on the G
tablet, we can assume, was designed to correlate to
the ancient time (around 65 * 71 = 13 * 355 = 4615 years
earlier), when the Full Moon was at the Heart (σ Scorpii)
and the Sun Eye was about to rise in Taurus:

Therefore Alcyone and Atlas in the Pleiades
ought to be with the Sun 8 days earlier, in MARCH 13
(72) - in order to be in harmony with the pattern
where Venus returned as morning star at the
horizon in the east after 8 nights of
invisibility.

Keeping the time of the Bull in
mind, however, we could alternatively relate this
location in the text
to the end of a cycle measuring 13 * 29½ days. JANUARY 18 (365 + 18 = 383)
could then be the
last night of such a cycle. Although if the Gregorian
calendar was used, then day 383 would have to be
pushed 4 glyphs ahead, to Gb7-4:

Yet, the beginning of line Gb7,
with a moa crying out, ought to correspond
to JANUARY 19 (384), and because the outline of this
bird is not drawn intact we could perhaps read 'fraction'
- i.e. a sign of the difference between 384 and
13 * 29½.

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in,
'diviners', begin the agricultural year.
Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year
are used in setting dates for religious and
agricultural ceremonies, especially when
those rituals fall at the same time in both
calendars.
The ceremony begins when the diviners go to
a sacred spring where they choose five
stones with the proper shape and color.
These stones will mark the five positions of
the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual.
When the stones are brought back to the
ceremonial house, two diviners start the
ritual by placing the stones on a table in a
careful pattern that reproduces the
schematic of the universe. At the same time,
helpers under the table replace last year's
diagram with the new one. They believe that
by placing the cosmic diagram under the base
of God at the center of the world they
demonstrate that God dominates the universe.
The priests place the stones in a very
particular order. First the stone that
corresponds to the sun in the eastern,
sunrise position of summer solstice is set
down; then the stone corresponding to the
western, sunset position of the same
solstice. This is followed by stones
representing the western, sunset position of
the winter solstice, then its eastern,
sunrise position. Together these four stones
form a square. They sit at the four corners
of the square just as we saw in the Creation
story from the Classic period and in the
Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is
placed to form the ancient five-point sign
modern researchers called the quincunx
If there was one stone
fetched per day,
brought from the sacred spring, then
"February 13 could have corresponded to the
last of these 5 stones and also to the
little child (tama-iti):

father in the Efaté language] is
distinguished from táma

or by the addition of a final
syllable which automatically
secures the same incidence of
the accent, tamái,

... In its
unattested Proto-Canaanite
form, the letter [gimel]
may have been named after a
weapon that was either a
staff sling or a throwing
stick, ultimately deriving
from a Proto-Sinaitic glyph
... Bertrand Russell posits
that the letter's form is a
conventionalized image of a
camel. The letter may be the
shape of the walking
animal's head, neck, and
forelegs. Barry B. Powell, a
specialist in the history of
writing, states 'It is hard
to imagine how gimel
= 'camel' can be derived
from the picture of a camel
... The word gimel is
related to gemul,
which means 'justified
repayment', or the giving of
reward and punishment.
The Swedish
word gammal means
'old' (and dry like a
stick).

When the quincunx had been
completed came All Hearts' Day in "February 14
(2-14), where the old cosmogram would have
been swept away:
Before Goliath was killed he
had stood there for 40 days waiting for
some eneny to spear. "February 9 was day
40 counted from "January 1.
