18  
After changing from 14 * 26 = 364 to 13 * 28 = 364 the calendar looks better. But even now all the cardinal points seem to arrive one period too late in the 'map'.

I think this means that 13 * 28 is correct, but that we need to start the year already with row no. 1. Which is the natural way to do it, of course. Stupid to think otherwise.

Rewriting the 'map' to start with row no. 1 makes period no. 18 (see above) come three periods later than the period (no. 15) in which (I suspect) is summer solstice is located. This is quite similar to when we in period no. 4 find the Sun Bird with his Summer Wife, i.e. not at Winter Solstice but three periods later.

And the 4th glyph above is similar to the 1st glyph in period no. 4.

I will also shorten the period from autumn equinox to midwinter solstice with one day in order to end the year with day no. 365. (The earlier maps were ending with day no. 366, which originated from my almanac for 2004.)
