If the phases of the sun are 'borrowed' from Venus, it could explain the mystery of why midsummer sun must go away at the height of his power - the morning star cannot last forever. The text of Q seems to have applied the idea also to noon sun:
Such an important event ought to be expressed by the numbers. 5 * 55 = 275 = 11 * 25. 205 + 64 = 269, mabye meaning the 9th 26. 9 * 26 = 234. Not very impressive results. The parallel Ha6-6 gives 36 and the parallel Pa5-52 results in 5 * 52 = 260, which is much better - implying the first half of the solar cycle is over respectively alluding to the evening star. We try once more with Q. 387 (side a) + 337 (side b) = 724 glyphs. Beyond glyph number 584 there remain 724 - 584 = 140 glyphs at the end of side b. 70 + 205 = 275 = 5 * 55. 2 glyphs per day implies Qa5-55 represents p.m.:
165 = 11 * 15 and Qa5-52 has the same ordinal numbers as Pa5-52 (which is parallel with Qa5-55). Qa5-55 is the last glyph in the line - there is no continuation of 'p.m.'. Irrespective of whether it is high summer when Venus has her 50 days' absence from the sky (before she returns as evening star) or not, the wish for a balance in mother nature should take a liking for the idea of hot midsummer sun needing to follow the example of Venus and stay away for a while so the temperature and dry earth could recover. The 'clam' ought to have an opening in its 'shell' beyond midsummer, and the 'hinge' (where Janus resides) should be at the other end, at midwinter. The solar 'hinge' at midwinter comes after solstice (which has been put at day 354 by the creator of Q). The 'hinge' is a picture in the human mind, and it belongs to the calendar (not in the sky). 584 = 200 + 354 + 30. But 30 glyphs is equal to 15 days. Qb5-22 comes only 2 days after day 354:
There is a 'hinge' in the middle of the 3 glyphs. Then comes another 'hinge' in the middle of the following 5 glyphs:
584 implies 58 * 4 = 8 * 29 = 232, and 592 implies 59 * 2 = 8 * 29.5 = 236:
584 - 232 = 352 = 11 * 32. And 362 (the number of days in Q) = 352 + 10.
592 - 236 = 356 = 4 * 89 (not very interesting). Maybe 356 should be read as 3 * 56 = 168 = 4 * 42. But Gb1-9 should not be blue, because the 'opening in the clam' streches for 32 (not 8) days:
There could be a suggestion that 12 should be added to 8 in order to reach a 2nd 20 days. Gb1-9 has an important function, it seems, to say that the 'morning star' period is in the past. |
