3. 452 / 2 = 226, and Ga8-22 is the only other similar glyph in the G text:
... In Ga8-22 we can see how the night sky (ragi) has come up to the top and how the 'head' of the day sky now is upside down at the bottom, a kind of revolution ... ... Ga8-22 has ragi at the top and if my argumentation is correct then the drawing could express how the tablet soon has to be turned upside down, i.e. the 'day' (the front side) will be turned into 'night' (the back side), expressed by the ragi sign ... At Gb8-10 the tablet soon once again has to be turned upside down, this time from the back side to the front side. From Acamar (if this star is at nuku rua in Gb8-10) to the end of side b there are 20 glyphs (maybe alluding to how the nights of Moon should be counted only up to 20 in each month) and from Gb8-22 to the end of side a there are 4 glyphs (perhaps alluding to the 4 quarters of a solar year). 4 + 20 = 24, and 472 - 24 = 448 = 7 * 64: ... 65 * 4 (at Ab6-54) = 260 and 64 * 7 (at Ab6-47) = 448, a number which can be explained as 260 + 188 where 188 = 365 - 177 ... 64 + 226 = 290, which necessarily implies that 64 + 452 + 64 = 580. Maybe it means we should take a look at glyph number 452 + 64 - 472 = 44:
The planetary colours in line a2 should probably be counted according to the ordinal numbers of the glyphs, we have earlier deduced (cfr at Moe). Yes, my guess seems to carry fruit, because we can unveil 182 days (half 364):
Acamar could be not only at the end of the 'river' but also at the end of a flow of time according to the G text. Allen does not explain the name Acamar but he as another piece of relevant information: "... Bailey said that its brilliancy has probably lessened since Ptolemy's time, for the latter designated it by α ..." |
