2. The right horn of Capricornus, marked by Deneb Algiedi (δ), is rising heliacally late in the 22nd hour:
We should pinpoint which glyph is at 22h. Its date should be defined by day number 80 + 22h / 24h * 365.25 = 414.8 (= ca 365 + 50). I.e. by 'February 19. This date coincides with the extraordinary glyph Gb2-16, a sure sign we are following the right track. Both its elaborate design and its number (2-16) are shouting at us for attention:
The manzil numbers above are counted from the beginning of each manzil. I have then - at certain positions - inserted within parenthesis the manzil day number counted from May 17 (137), for instance 264 at Gb2-1 (at the 7th day of Al Baldaah):
If the day numbers instead are to be counted from the beginning of the Gregorian year we have to add 136. E.g. will the 8th day of Al Baldaah (at Gb2-2) correspond to day number 265 + 136 = 401. This type of number I have at a few places added within parenthesis preceded by an asterisk (*401). Day 264 is in our Gregorian calendar the day before autumn equinox, September 21. There are 100 days remaining of a year with 364 nights. It is hard to avoid comparing the end of Al Baldaah with the glyphs preceding Rogo in Gb6-26:
400 (Gb6-17) - 257 (Gb2-1) = 143 = 365 - 222. But such speculations have to wait until we know more. |
