We should also take the opportunity to investigate the possibility that the pattern 3 + 1 is a reflection of 3 * 95 + 80 = 365 days:
5 * 19 = 95 and the 1st glyph in C corresponds to March 22. Then, 95 days later comes St John's Day:
And glyph 95 + 95 = 190 corresponds to Gregorian day 80 + 190 = 270:
190 + 95 = 285 = 365 - 80:
These results are rather convincing. The C text seems to have incorporated not only the Gregorian calendar but also a structure with 80 + 3 * 95 days:
In Ca4-21 pepe rere is standing on an oval form, in Ca7-24 a great 'egg' incorporates signs of 'eating' and 'a broken staff', and in Ca11-3 the low fist in front forms another 'closed' (completed cycle) sign. Does the G text exhibit any evidence of the same structure?
Not obviously so, although the great tagata toki in Ca2-1 evidently returns at left in Ga8-19 and therefore could correspond to the 'ruler' who ends in December. On the other hand, the short manzil Qalb al Akraab (Heart of the Scorpion) appears to indicate counting to 80 could begin with Shaula 1 (January 3) and end with Saad Al Saud 13 (May 23):
The not completely drawn outlines in Ca1-1--2 indicate they are of a different sort than the following glyphs. And Saad Al Akhbia belongs at the beginning of the new season (nawaa), viz. Hameemain. It is the last of 4 Saads, the last in a pattern of 3 + 1:
The C text is apparently influenced by the Arabic manzil calendar. We can assume the C text is adapted both to the Gregorian calendar and to the manzil calendar. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
