357. At Full Moon there was a radical change - perhaps a time for praying (pure) of a return - and the corresponding day for the Sun could possibly have been day 161 measured from Delta, viz. September 6 (249), where the day number was equal to 88 (March 29) + 161 (June 10).

... 'Yes, for he was a monstrous thing and fashioned marvelously, nor was he like to any man that lives by bread, but like a wooded peak of the towering hills, which stands out apart and alone from others.' Odysseus, choosing twelve men, the best of the company, left his ships at shore and sallied to the vast cave. It was found stocked abundantly with cheeses, flocks of lambs and kids penned apart, milk pails, bowls of whey; and when the company had entered and was sitting to wait, expecting hospitality, the owner came in, shepherding his flocks. He bore a grievous weight of dry wood, which he cast down with a din inside the cave, so that in fear all fled to hide. Lifting a huge doorstone, such as two and twenty good four-wheeled [22 * 4 = 88] wains could not have raised from the ground, he set this against the mouth of the cave, sat down, milked his ewes and goats, and beneath each placed her young, after which he kindled a fire and spied his guests ...

... On side B together with the four edges is a series of notches that are clearly set in an intentional pattern. The edges contain a total of 39 notches in groups of 6, 13, 7 and 13. A further 49 notches on side B are arranged in four vertical lines of 13, 10, 12 and 13 respectively plus a further notch that could be in either of the middle two lines ... The grouping of the notches on the plate suggests a time-related sequence. The total number of notches (88) not only coincides with the number of days in 3 lunations (88.5) but also approximately with the number of days when the star Betelgeuse (α Ori) disappeared from view each year between its heliacal set (about 14 days before the spring equinox around 33,000 BP) and its heliacal rise (approximately 19 days before the summer solstice) ...

88 (March 29) * 71 (years corresponding to a precession with 1 day) → 4406 BC.

Bishop Usher had counted - in the Bible (in Numeri, the 4th book of Moses) they say - to 4004 BC for the creation of the world. However, I think he instead may have been inspired from the basic Pythagorean triangle (3 * 3 + 4 * 4 = 5 * 5) and from there gone on to the length of the year (365 = 10 * 10 + 11 * 11 + 12 * 12 = 13 * 13 + 14 * 14). Because 10 * 11 * 12 * 13 * 14 = 240 240 = 60 * 4004. Day 240 is August 28.

But in the Mayan structure the creation of our present world occurred in 13 August (225), 3114 BC, i.e. 15 days earlier (and 890 years later).

First 3-stone place	21 May (141), 3114 BC
Itzam-Yeh defeated	28 May (148), 3149 BC
Creation of our present world	13 August (225), 3114 BC
Hun-Nal-Ye became the sky	5 February (36), 3112 BC
(3149 - 3112) / 71 = 0.52 < (26.6 - 26)
21 May, 3114 BC - 13 August, 3114 BC = 225 - 141 = 84 (= 12 * 7) 21 May, 3114 BC - 5 February, 3112 BC = 542, which 'happens to be' the sum of 365 days and 6 * 29½ nights.
148 (May 28) - *70 = 78 (19 March)

... the Palenque scribes repeated Creation again and described it as 'it was made visible, the image at Lying-down-Sky, the First-Three-Stone-Place'. Then we learned that five hundred and forty-two days later (1.9.2 in the Maya system), Hun-Nal-Ye 'entered or became the sky' (och ta chan). This 'entering' event occurred on February 5, 3112 B.C. The act of 'entering the sky' is recorded on another extraordinary painted pot.

This pot depicts one of the Hero Twins (One-Ahaw in the Classic texts and One-Hunaphu in the K'iche' Popol Vuh) and a great bird who is trying to land in a huge ceiba tree heavy with fruit. This mythical bird is Itzam-Yeh, Classic prototype of Wuqub-Kaqix, 'Seven-Macaw', of Popol Vuh fame. In that story, in the time before the sky was lifted up to make room for the light, the vainglorious Seven-Macaw imagined himself to be the sun. Offended by his pride, the Hero Twins humbled him by breaking his beautiful shining tooth with a pellet from their blowgun. This pot shows One-Ahaw aiming at the bird as he swoops down to land in his tree. As Itzam-Yeh lands on his perch, the text tells us he is 'entering or becoming the sky'. This particular 'sky-entering' is not the one mentioned in the Palenque text. It is the final event that occurred in the previous creation before the universe was remade. Before the sky could be raised and the real sun revealed in all its splendor, the Hero Twins had to put the false sun, Itzam-Yeh, in his place. If the date on this pot corresponds to that pre-Creation event, as we believe it does, then Itzam-Yeh was defeated in 12.18.4.5.0 1 Ahaw 3 K'ank'in (May 28, 3149 B.C.). After the new universe was finally brought into existence, First Father also entered the sky by landing in the tree, just as Itzam-Yeh did ...

At the time of rongorongo the day May 28 (148, *68) was where Aldebaran rose with the Sun and 77 days later, in August 13 (225, *145) the Sun had reached the Knot (Ukdah) with the Full Moon at the Foundation (Bunda):
