241. In order to perceive in depth it was necessary to use both eye-sights, both the one for looking in front of your head in order to see what the current situation was and then with the other one to look inside your head in order to recall the ancient patterns as they had been when for instance Itzam-Yeh was defeated, when the last creation became ready for its pair of 'fire-rubbing sticks'.

Insight could never be reached out in the sunlight.

Egyptian sticks		Phoenician taw		Greek chi	Χ (χ)

In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands that form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ. Roman XII = 12 → XIII = 13, with the Nose in between - and later, after the Mouth, the cycle would begin anew (I). Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas). When fused within a single typespace with the Greek letter Rho, it is called the labarum and used to represent the person of Jesus Christ. (Wikipedia) ... tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 300 ... Taw is believed to be derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ... Taw, Tav or Taf is the twenty-second and last letter in many Semitic abjads ... In gematria Tav represents the number 400, the largest single number that can be represented without using the Sophit forms ... 'From Aleph to Taf' describes something from beginning to end; the Hebrew equivalent of the English 'From A to Z' ... Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. The midrash explains that emet is made up of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem, and Tav...). Sheqer (falsehood), on the other hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and penultimate) letters. Thus, truth is all-encompassing, while falsehood is narrow and deceiving. In Jewish mythology it was the word emet that was carved into the head of the Golem which ultimately gave it life. But when the letter 'aleph' was erased from the Golem's forehead, what was left was 'met' - dead. And so the Golem died ... (Wikipedia)

The Xul mythic animal exhibits an arrangement similar to that of tau, hanging from the sky-band and belching out 'serpents', 2 * 4 + 5 = 13 in all, from his 3 'torches'.

... With tail and both paws he holds flaming torches ...

The flood depicted on the last page of the Dresden Codex is not the same, because here we can find no 'benben stone' in the corresponding central 'quincunx' position:

Instead of a central 'stone of fire' the flood illustration has a kind of cross surrounded by 4 'watery eyes', like in the Olmec World Tree design:

... The jaguar learned from the grasshopper that the toad and the rabbit had stolen its fire while it was out hunting, and that they had taken it across the river. While the jaguar was weeping at this, an anteater came along, and the jaguar suggested that they should have an excretory competition. The anteater, however, appropriated the excrement containing raw meat and made the jaguar believe that its own excretions consisted entirely of ants. In order to even things out, the jaguar invited the anteater to a juggling contest, using their eyes removed from the sockets: the anteater's eyes fell back into place, but the jaguar's remained hanging at the top of a tree, and so it became blind. At the request of the anteater, the macuco bird made the jaguar new eyes out of water, and these allowed it to see in the dark. Since that time the jaguar only goes out at night. Having lost fire, it eats meat raw. It never attacks the macuco ...

... Originally the highly born family of the Sun, Moon, and stars dwelt in a cave on the summit of Maunga-nui, Great Mountain, in the ancient homeland. They were not at all comfortable in their gloomy home for they could not see distinctly and their eyes watered constantly ...

Counting with 320 (= 8 * 40) regular days and with an additional 40 + 5 = 45 in order to reach day 45 in a 365-day year beginning with January 1 will lead us to February 14 (the day of the 'hearts' of all the cycles).

... In the inscriptions of Dendera, published by Dümichen, the goddess Hathor is called 'lady of every joy'. For once, Dümichen adds: Literally ... 'the lady of every heart circuit'. This is not to say that the Egyptians had discovered the circulation of the blood. But the determinative sign for 'heart' often figures as the plumb bob at the end of a plumb line coming from a well-known astronomical or surveying device, the merkhet. Evidently, 'heart' is something very specific, as it were the 'center of gravity' ... See Aeg.Wb. 2, pp. 55f. for sign of the heart (ib) as expressing generally 'the middle, the center' ...

45 = 360 / 8 and therefore the 2nd (reading from right to left) 'Sun' figure (in the diagram below) under the ecliptic band could have been turned around 45º from the orientation of the 1st great one:

The Mayas had a wonderful calendar which documented the whole of our current time-space configuration:

... In three magnificent texts at the site of Koba, scribes recorded it as one of the largest finite numbers we humans have ever written. According to these inscriptions, our world was created on the day 4 Ahaw 8 Kumk'u. On this day all the cycles of the Maya calendar above twenty years were set at thirteen - that is to say, the cycles of 400 years, 8,000 years, 160,000 years, 32,000,000 years, and so on, all the way up to a cycle number extending to twenty places (20₂₁ * 1360-day year).

In our calendar, this day fell on August 13, B.C. 3114 (or September 20, -3113 in the Julian calendar). This reminds me of the 'contracred' henua calendar in the G text:

... Suggested sum: 31 * 13 = 403 = 399 (synodic cycle of Jupiter) + 4 ...

APRIL 24 (*399)	25 (115)	26	27 (*37)

Gb6-17 (399)	Gb6-18 (171)	Gb6-19	Gb6-20 (229 + 173)
June 27 (108 + 70)	28 (115 + 64)	29 (Mebsuta)	SIRIUS (*396 - *365)
... When the Arabians adopted the Greek figures they designated this star [Castor] as Al Rās al Taum al Mukaddim, the Head of the Foremost Twin; but, according to Al Tizini, the early and indigenous term was Al Awwal al Al Dhirā', the First in the Paw or Forearm. Reference was made by this to the supposed figure of the enormous early Lion, the nomads' Asad, the Outstretched Forearm of which α and β marked Al Dhirā' al Mabsutāt. This extended still further over Gemini, the other, the Contracted one, Al Dhirā' al Makbūdah, running into Canis Minor. The rest of this monstrosity included Cancer, part of our Leo, Boötes, Virgo, and Corvus ...

... Later on in this series of rituals, the Chorti go through a ceremony they call raising the sky. This ritual takes place at midnight on the twenty-fifth of April and continues each night until the rains arrive. In this ceremony two diviners and their wives sit on benches so that they occupy the corner positions of the cosmic square. They take their seats in the same order as the stones were placed, with the men on the eastern side and the women on the west. The ritual actions of sitting down and lifting upward are done with great precision and care, because they are directly related to the actions done by the gods at Creation. The people represent the gods of the four corners and the clouds that cover the earth. As they rise from their seats, they metaphorically lift the sky. If their lifting motion is uneven, the rains will be irregular and harmful ... RAIN: Well Center (Green) North (White) East (Red) 9 Ch'en (180) 10 Yax 11 Sac 12 Ceh (240)   Macaw Quetzal Deer 13 Mac (260) 14 Kankin 15 Moan (300) Meat Skeleton Ribs Owl BREAK (paxih) 16 Pax (320) 17 Kayab 18 Cumhu 19 Vayeb (365) ... In the Mayan structure the first 20-day month beyond high summer was Ch'en - a well: ... The sign cauac, wherever it could be pinned down, appeared as a sort of general time-count base. Alone, or with the wing-affix ... and with numerals, it is a fixed variant for the Tun-sign. This Morley was the first to verify. It is also the common element in the four vinal signs for Ch'en, Yax, Sac, Ceh, differentiated only by their superfixes. Ch'en means Well; Yax and Sac means Green, White; and the superfixes are the characters fully established for those colors. The superfix for Ceh means Red, but the Maya and Quiché Ceh, Quieh, mean Deer ...  ... A sidelight falls upon the notions connected with the stag by Horapollo's statement concerning the Egyptian writing of 'A long space of time: A Stag's horns grow out each year. A picture of them means a long space of time.' Chairemon (hieroglyph no. 15, quoted by Tzetzes) made it shorter: 'eniautos: elaphos'. Louis Keimer, stressing the absence of stags in Egypt, pointed to the Oryx (Capra Nubiana) as the appropriate 'ersatz', whose head was, indeed, used for writing the word rnp = year, eventually in 'the Lord of the Year', a well-known title of Ptah. Rare as this modus of writing the word seems to have been - the Wörterbuch der Aegyptischen Sprache (eds. Erman and Grapow), vol. 2, pp. 429-33, does not even mention this variant - it is worth considering (as in every subject dealt with by Keimer), the more so as Chairemon continues his list by offering as number 16: 'eniautos: phoinix', i.e., a different span of time, the much-discussed 'Phoenix-period' (ca. 500 years) ... 365 + 135 (Tau-ono) = 500.
