'A close agreement between their world view', the first of the pages:
The new year is, it seems, defined by the time when the old year ('fire') is vanishing (below the 'waters'). In ancient Egypt it was the rising of the Nile, caused by Sirius. The time should be when high summer was ending. The heat and dry earth suddenly vanished. But counting from winter solstice a whole year was not yet in the past, only ⅔. Venus at Gb6-17 has ordinal number 400. This time it seems not advisable to multiply 6 * 17 = 102, instead number 17 is to be associated with number 6. The 6th day of the week (Venus) is at a location of renewal (17). It is a time zero. Twice 8 = 16 glyphs are coordinated into a group. By force of number 8 it must be Saturn who 'twins' with Venus.
Saturn symbolizes the old fire, Venus the new fire. Saturn is like the submerged old sun, Venus as morning star should represent the newborn fire. Counting from glyph number 400 (Gb6-17) forward 144 steps (as suggested by a multiplication at Gb6-24) we will reach Ga3-12 (where 3 * 12 = 36):
400 + 144 = 544 = 8 * 68, which we can compare with 6 * 68 = 408 (= 17 * 24). From Gb6-17 to the end of side b there are 73 glyphs, and if we do not count Gb8-30 twice we must add another 71 in order to reach 144. This takes us to Ga3-12. If we count Gb8-30 twice we will reach only to Ga3-11.
In Ga3-11 the 'head' is down and in Ga3-12 it is up. Measuring 8 * 68 - 400 from Gb6-17 the proper way to count seems to be to count Gb8-30 (472) twice:
Ga3-10--16 is the 3rd period of the henua calendar. A new season is beginning from number 550:
Ga3-19 (79) will then be number 552 = 23 * 24 counted from Gb6-17. This prompts us to look for the glyph at position 24 * 24 = 576. 79 + 24 = 103:
In Ga5-21 Mars seems to be reborn - 5 * 21 = 105. |
