I am not satisfied with my preliminary 26-period-calendar. The cardinal points seem to be placed too early. The location of spring equinox (day no. 95) is in period 10 instead of in period 8 or 9 (where I see glyphs showing light). And summer solstice (day no. 185) is in period 17 instead of in period 15 - see above -  where there are glyphs showing midpoint). But autumn equinox seems fairly well located, although it perhaps should be placed in period 22 instead of in period 23; there is a 'tired old bird' in period 22..

This evidence makes it very clear that I have guessed wrong. The periods are too long. I therefore must make a new map. Instead of 26 * 14 = 364 days I will make a map where the periods are 13 nights long. That gives more periods, and 364 / 13 = 28.

With 28 periods the solar year necessarily must start already in row no. 2 instead of in row no. 4.

28 is the difference between 14 and 13 during 28 periods and I therefore have to increase the number of periods with exactly 28 / 14 = 2. The results of the new map are shown via the hyperlink "28".
